This is my first attempt at producing a quality photograph relating to cars. And what better relates to cars...than cars being driven? Well, I couldn;t think of anything, so I took a trip down to Univeristy Boulevard, the road that passes right by my building, to take some pics of automobiles in action. Now, when rating this photo based on good photo-taking criteria, I can say that this picture does NOT have very good resolution, exciting colors, or much excitement. It does, though, follow the rule of thirds fairly well, with the two cars side-by-side in the bottom left corner and the side-by-side trafiic lights in the top center. The road is the bottom third, the trees are the middle third, and the sky is the top third. This photo also has a slight linear perspective, though it is interrupted by the light pole, and has a definite foreground and background. This photo, and the ones that follow this one, was edited by the new Google application called Picasa, a very easy utility that can do wonders on making subpar photographs (like mine) acceptable. This photo also demonstrates good color balance and good contrast, with the correct exposure of light. Overall, I think this photo is fairly okay for the first one.
