Here is a picture of a city during winter. As you have probably noticed this image is not simply capturing the city scape and the people that inhabit it. There is also a motion and three demential aspect to this photo. As you can see there are many visual cues in this photo; relative size, overlap, linear perspective, atmospheric perspective, relative height, binocular disparity, but also movement parallax. Relative size can mainly be seen in the people. Many people take up about a fourth of the visual space in height however closer to the horizon people become much smaller almost to a tenth or twentieth the size of the larger people. Atmospheric perspective can be seen as the structures to the right of the page begin to fade in town and texture. Overlap can be seen in the people to make them seem farther and closer to the point of where the picture was taken. Binocular disparity can be seen as the camera has focused on one single aspect of the picture. The man who is moving his newspaper is in clear and clean focus as the other parts of the picture appear either in motion or out of focus. Now the biggest part of the picture can be found in the motion parallax. Here a few images of a man are placed together to create movement. Each individual image creates a movement.
