Olive Cotton style photo 1

Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/20
ISO: 200
Conditions: The conditions in the classroom was dark, to compensate for the dark conditions the ISO was moved up to 200.

Analysis: This image is of 2 upright eggshells that Riley filled with dirt and grass outside the classroom, looking at the composition at a 45-degree position face on. When this photo was taken, 1 light source was used that was shined on the eggshells from the left corner of the composition. The light source was positioned far away from the source to sharpen and define the quality of the shadows. Due to the white background, the shadows are more visible and the eggshells have more contrast and colour. This composition represents an Olive Cotton style image through the dark and contrasting shadows along with the repetition of the subject.

Rule of Thirds: This rule applies with the photo as it cuts each eggshell into 1 square.

Diagonal Rule: This structure cuts through the shadow of the left eggshell and also cuts into the right eggshell diagonally from top right to bottom left.
