This photograph is of Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett as he greets the crowd at the event. It shows the rule of thirds because Leggett occupies the far left third of the photo and the other prominent person in the photo, Rockville Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio, occupies the far right third.
This photograph depicts the Rockville High School Jazz Band as they play at the opening of the ceremonies. It uses a number of photographic elements. The photograph follows the rule of thirds and is divided into three distinct areas: the boy, the girl and the flag. It also offers a unique perspective, as it captures the musicians from “behind the scenes.”
Here Marcuccio cuts the 150th Birthday cake while being photographed by the gathered crowd. The photo once again shows the rule of thirds by placing the mayor in the left third, the cake in the lower middle, and the crowd of photographers off to the right. This photo also captures a moment of the exact instant when the cake was cut, and the excitement in the faces of Marcuccio and all those taking pictures. The perspective is unique in that it shows the photographers taking the picture rather than just the cake.
Here we see the miniature water bottles awaiting area dignitaries on stage at the celebration. The photograph most strongly shows the graphic quality with the lines of the chairs and the water bottles.
This photograph is of the dance group IMPACT, composed of area youth, performing at the anniversary. The photograph most strongly shows the element of emotion, as the power of the dancing can be seen through the moves captured. There is also an element of graphics, through the lines of the dancers themselves that seem to come to a point at the upper right-hand side of the photograph, drawing the eye in that direction.
