Elements of Photography

This photo is an example of an element of photography known as, Angle. This shows angle because the photo is taken at a downward position. You can tell by the head of the dog being the biggest, and as you scan your eyes downward, the rest of his body becomes smaller and smaller.    

This photo is an example of, Simplicity. This shows simplicity because there is only one particular object in the photo, and a simple color tint to it (an editing tool called sepia) creating a "simple" and uncomplicated photo.

This photo shows an example of, Lines. This is because it shows linear elements, which is the fence and grass lines, that is photographed diagonally to showing its deminsion more than the objects that are just horizontal.

Copyrighted Podcast


From my experiences I have concluded that downloading music is wrong. It is not fair to the artist nor the composers and editors who work behind the scenes to make the music also. I believe that some copyright laws should exists because, it would help not as many people steal an artists’ work. Piracy is so prevalent in our society due to the fact that many younger people, like to do stupid things, especially if they are against the rules. Since piracy is illegal, and so easy to do and get away with, younger people find it easy pirating music.  Also, music has a large impact on some people’s lives, yet not everyone has the money to buy the music they love, so downloading it illegally is what they turn to. If anyone was using our podcast without our permission I would feel real angry and upset, considering that we spent a lot of time and effort into our work. It would not be fair to my group at all. Just like it would not be fair to an artist and their companions who composed songs which people illegally download, by pirating.
