A Jungle Down There.” – National Geographic

The photographer in this picture used many composition tips. One of the tips they had used was forced perspective, because the person in the image looks like an ant. They also “harnessed the light”, taking advantage of the sunlight that came in from the sunlight coming through cracks of the cave, so it has almost a soft glow and looks almost unreal. Also they framed the photo with the cave’s wall, and looks like it was intended to do that, that’s what makes this photo successful

Nasa has been trying to find a telescope that would last to take pictures in space. In April, 1995, they found a telescope that took a perfect image of a clear universe, known to be “The Pillars of Creation.” What the telescope photographed is a nebula, light-years away from Earth. The things appeared to be smokestacks in the image are clouds of dust, shaped by winds blowing out of nearby stars. It’s significance is that the photo is a clear photo of a nebula, that not many people can see with a telescope.
