With help of Jordan and a tripod, this portion of the assignment was a lot of fun. The basic idea was to show motion by creating light trails during a car ride.

Contrast

Contrast is created in the photo because of the rarity to see a pink comb among a pile of rocks.  Also, their is a contrast of color between the grey rocks and bright pink comb.

Gestalts theory is practiced in this photo by leading the eye with the footprints leading off of the concrete leaving the eye to imagine the footprints continuing.
