Assessment 1 Ben Nevis 'After'

This is the 'after' photograph of the top of Ben Nevis. There were compostional techniques applied to this photograph, such as the rule of thirds and the overlapping rule. The rule of thirds can be identified on the upper point of this photograph where the clouds are situated. The clouds are in one horizontal line across the upper point of the photograph. The rule of thirds applied has impacted this photograph as this gives the photograph an effect, and conveys that this photograph was captured high up. Futhermore, the summit ruin situated in the leftmost third illustrates that this ruin is dominant in comparison to the other ruins in this photograph, for instance the ruins in the lower point of this photograph. Overlapping was useful in this photograph as it obscured the top of Ben Nevis where the summit ruins are situated with the background of mountains. The diagnoal line between the top of Ben Nevis and the background of mountains is effective as they converge with one another. The human eye naturally acknowledges the layers between the background of mountains, and the top of Ben Nevis and mentally separates them out, creating this photograph with more depth.
