@http://www.photographywest.com/ - Two end images (left one by Jason Mullins and right one by Michael Kenna) http://portalwisconsin.org/modernruins.cfm - Middle image (credited to Peter Gnas)


 * Left Image (Before The Rain by Jason Mullins):** The type of space used in this image would be white space, the photo is suppose to have wide open spaces to create the light that he need to make the photograph look peaceful and calm. The mood that's evoked is peace and tranquility of the ocean because, according to the information provide, the artist, Jason Mullins, loved the ocean and he's portraying the feeling he feels when he's near the ocean. He used fill the frame because even though there is a lot of space in the photograph, the objects in the image reach the edge of the image and he uses level horizon. The focal point would be the posts and what seems to be a rock and point of view because it's his version of how he sees the ocean.


 * Middle Image (Abandoned Factory by Peter Gnas):** He uses space in this image to create the empty, lonely feeling that an abandoned building evokes. He kind of creates an eery feeling with the colors in the image and the open space but it's not necessarily scary, just empty. The artist works a lot with abandoned buildings and would endure pretty much anything to get the shot he wants, he also uses spot lights to enhance the oldness and creepiness of many of his images. He uses leading lines with the beams on the ceiling and a level horizon is created with the blue half of the picture on the bottom and green above it.


 * Right Image (Chariot of Apollo by Michael Kenna):** The artist uses open space to show symmetry in the image and light in the photograph. The mood that's evoked in this image is a haunting feeling. Michael Kenna was a commercial photographer in his early career, but was inspired by landscape photography and became a well-known fine art photographer and used long exposure time to create his images. He uses rule of thirds with the trees on the sides and the focal point of the chariot in the middle. He also used level horizon.
