Balance, Symmetry, and Asymmetry

Balance: These photos I often found myself confused with symmetry. For these, I tried to find a middle line of sceneries or an object, and from that, I would make sure each side had equal; weight but not exactly the same. A lot of these pictures can seem symmetrical at first glance but once you look deeper into the picture it reveals its self to me not symmetrical.

Symmetry: For these, I had a very similar technique to balance. I would find a centerline, or center object and look at both sides, except these had to be a mirror image of each other. This was easy in the sense that there are a lot of symmetrical things, but a lot of them were not very pretty, so this became hard. I also focused more on the symmetry of the foreground, not so much the background.

Asymmetry: This was the easiest for me, I just would use camera angles, and un-even sceneries and objects to create a not symmetrical picture.  I also looked for a centerline tho, but this center line would result in there being more weight on one side then the other. Meaning that there was more happening on one side versus the other. Sometimes there would be more of something, sometimes there would just be a physically bigger object.
