The majority of people simply don't have the observation skills needed to see the finer details of a subject and it can be quite a revelation to them when you present them with only a part of a common subject. However, even when working with only a small area of a subject, all Leshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04776914228562646228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479820449341500066.post-75153566529370315422008-01-07T13:15:00.000+01:002008-01-07T13:35:43.612+01:00Design elements - Repetition
Understanding the design elements of image management is useful when hunting for new subjects to photograph because it gives you ideas of what to look for as you seek new things. One of the most powerful design elements is repetition. Repetition can apply to lines, shapes, colours, complete objects, in fact anything in the scene that repeats.

Adams coined the phrase 'near - far' to describe the visual result of the technique.

Scale is used to help define the size relationships between the elements of an image. A sense of scale goes a long way to adding to the feeling of space in a scene. In this beach scene, clearly a semi-abstract design, the inclusion of the single human figure walking across the sand allows you to immediately appreciate the amount of space included in the image.
