With these photos, I wanted to capture the aspect of natural leading lines and dramatic lighting and how they enhance the level of cinematography within a photo. In the first photo it shows natural leading lines with the river going across the frame, which essentially carries yours or your viewers eyes along with it. This is useful because it shows you don't always need a vocal point to your frame you just need something to capture the audiences attention. In the second photo it shows dramatic lighting from the natural sunlight which creates contrast because of the shadows that fall along the distant mountains. Contrast is important because it shows depth within the picture, and allows the audience to interpret the scene more clearly, helping to guide their emotional response by helping them understand the visual hierarchy.
