Compose Your Frame - Still Composition


This is a picture i took on the back road heading to Kolob resivor. The rule of thirds is placed in a few different areas of the picture. first lets start with the sky the mountain's and the ground. Place your eye where the mountain's end at the right side of the picture and follow the ridge. toward the left side and the mountain rang shoots up. Both the mountain and the rainbow forced your eye skyward. The colors are also arranged in three's. First the sky with its grays and white. Then the mountains run from a light yellow near the rainbow then become more red in the middle then fade into bluish purple. finally the ground the field is yellow then turns green the closer it gets to the camera.

The diagonal rule is implemented as the rainbow starting at the top of the left hand corner and draws the eye downward. The cool thing about this rainbow is that it touches down right in the field. Truly making the viewing think that there might actually be a pot of gold. The thing that immediately grabbed my wife and my eye is that its a double rainbow. I have never actually seen this phenomena in real life. So I had to catch a picture. The double rainbow helps reinforce the diagonal rule. Since the first rainbow and second help force your eye downward. its also helps with the contrast of the darkening sky and the bright vivid colors of the first rainbow and the faded muted colors of the second. these two rainbows also act as the vectors of the picture. they are the ones catching your eye and having them take seem like they have movement.
