To keep this image properly exposed I had to increase the shutter speed and increase the f-stop to f16 to compensate for the high ISO, this created a grainy effect to my image.

To keep this image properly exposed I had to lower the ISO and the aperture to compensate for the increased shutter speed, this created a shallow depth of field within my image

This photo contrasts cool blue light from the ceiling with the warm golden light of the sun to outline the two hikers in the middle. The natural shape of the ice cave forms a frame around the people like an arch window, while the huge ceiling and small people emphasise the enormous size of the glacier. This low-angle shot emphasises the strong contrast between the rough dark rocks and the smooth wavy ice.

The photograph depicts the warm golden rays in the morning shining on the right sides of the mountains, reflecting in the form of blue water. The way the peaks are formed in the V shape automatically directs the viewer’s attention towards the centre, where the kayaker is sitting in the kayak wearing an orange jacket. This photograph has been taken at a low angle from behind the kayak, with the help of symmetry and the ripples in the wake.

The image captures the bright green glow of the aurora borealis in the skies above as well as artificial lighting reflecting off the crashing waves and surfer below. The arc formed by the aurora borealis in the sky complements the diagonal form of the mountain covered in snow to direct the viewer’s gaze to the silhouette of the surfer on the illuminated waves. The shot has been taken from the beach and forms an interesting contrast between the snowy Arctic night, breaking waves, and luminous sky.

High-contrast lighting is used in this photograph to create harsh shadows on the stair treads and a heavy shadow in the upper background. Diagonal lines created by the metal rails and concrete stairs dominate the composition of the picture. They direct the viewer's gaze to the blurry motion in the middle, which resembles a spectre. Long exposure is used to turn moving objects into a haze of movement. It creates a striking contrast with the rigid architecture of the building.

The picture employs lighting which is even and flat in order to light the whole scene but does not cast too much light on the background street. The metal bars in the foreground form diagonals with sharp edges and draw attention to the stairway. Slow shutter speed enables the artist to capture the bustling crowd as a vague silhouette.

This photograph uses moody, low-contrast lighting in monochrome, bathing the street in a soft light but throwing the shadows of the characters in front into deep darkness. The vanishing point of the neoclassic buildings helps direct attention down the street and create depth behind the off-centre subjects. Slow shutter speeds result in blurring of the features of the two figures to featureless glowing spots, creating a bizarre juxtaposition between static architecture and ephemeral humans.

In this picture, the lighting is soft golden hour light, creating a directional rim light on the cowboy, his hat, and the wooden gate while casting the red coloured barn in bright light. The wooden arch serves as a tight frame to bring the viewer's attention to the cowboy who walks through the frame. The dusty atmosphere in the backlit condition creates a gap between the dark corral in the foreground and the brightly lit horses in the background.

The image is shot using a reverse reflection from the street puddle, showing the daylight in the Twin Towers together with the warm golden reflection of the sunlight off the skyscrapers in the surroundings. Reversing the perspective brings the silhouette of the pedestrian into the bottom centre of the composition. In addition to that, the ripple effect seen on the water makes the rigid structure of the buildings look distorted.

This picture makes use of the earthy and warm daylight which gives a bright accent to the white shirt worn by the rider against the background of the dust as well as the dark coat of the horse. The picture is taken from the high angle perspective of view and shows the diagonal movement of the scene with the effect of the force being exerted by the bucking bronco. The effect of motion blur at the slow shutter speed gives an abstract view of physical chaos.
