Implied Motion (Option 1)

In this photo, the city is set up to show how cars move through the city.  Although there are no cars in this photo, people know that the lights represent cars in the city.  The eyes follow the lights of the cars between the buildings. Using our exsisting knowledge of cars in the city, we can observe the directions of the traveling lines.  In our mind we know that the white lights on a car is the front and the red lights on a car is the rear.  This lets our mind know which way the lights are going in the photo. Therefore, the viewer observes the white lines traveling toward the front.  The red lights flow away to the back of the photograph.

 
This photo is another example of implied motion.  Although nothing is actually moving because this is a photo, our knowledge of motion tells us that things are moving in this picture.  First of all we can see that the building in the center of the picture is falling down.  Instead, of being vertical, the building is diagonal across the screen telling us that it is falling down.  We know the direction that the building is falling because of our preconception of how thing natually fall.  Another thing that demonstrates motion in this photo is the puff of dirt that is coming from the base of the building.  We know that dirt natually lays on the ground; therefore if the dirt flys up in the air many particles are moving around in the air.  These facts combined give us the directions and movements of the objects within this composition.
