Composition

This picture I took used the motion blurred compositional strategy to show motion. The exposure timing of the photograph was set long which caused the lights of the ferry to trail behind it. This showed the movement of the object without using the action setting. Since it was at night, the only features were the ferry's lights which through a telephoto lens made them trail off. The photograph shows motion of the ferry at night and it's reflection on the water.

Shapes, Organic and Geometric

I took this picture because it is of my favorite car brand and the salt residue and dirt reminds me of the commercials that say, "built Ford tough". I set my camera to macro mode so I could a close up image. Another reason for taking the picture is that the Ford logo was sold during 2009 when car manufacturers were going bankrupt. Because of this, Ford was one of the few companies that didn't need a bailout from the government.
