Shutter Speed and Everything After

Paired with Ethan Hu & Anita Yen

1. The photo of the truck demonstrates a fast shutter speed, because the photo appears frozen. Since the trucks are on a highway and should be moving, the fact that they are frozen and not blurry means that the photographer used a relatively fast shutter speed.
2. The photo employs the Rule of Viewpoint to capture all 3 trucks in such a way that emphasizes the lines and the color of the trucks.
Ethan's Rule is the Rule of diagonals.  For more info, look here.
3. The photo employs the element of lines.  The barrier in the middle, as well as the highway lanes, all are parallel lines.
4. The photographer employed emphasis in the photo.   The comparison of the brightly-colored truck to the pale and gray background causes it to stand out, and places emphasis on it as the subject of the photo.
