Nut Graf

A nut graf is the part of the story that basically tells the reader why they should be reading it. It is what brings the story together and explains the importance of it. The nut graf often contains information important to the story.
                The nut graf does not have to be a specific length. The size of the nut graf can vary from a sentence to a whole paragraph. As for the location of this paragraph/sentence, most of the time it follows the opening 5 W's. Without the nut graf, the point of the story would be pretty unclear.

Architecture Shoot Preview 2



Eden Project, U.K.




Detail

This photograph fits the prompt of Detail because, well, there
is a lot of detail in this close-up shot. I couldn't have seen the
amount of detail on the building if a photographer had not zoomed in.

Light

This photo fits the category of Light because it captures how
the building interacts with the light of stars. The way the stars
shine through the clear panels makes for a dramatic look.

Pattern

This photo shows a lot of pattern. There is pattern all over this
building, but the photographer managed to frame it in this photo
by getting the dark shapes in the background.
Shape

All of the building in the Eden Project are circular, but the
photographer managed to capture that shape in a unique way.
Instead of taking a photo from the outside, they took it from
the inside.

Surrounding

Every building has a surrounding, and this photo captures the Eden
Project's surrounding beautifully. The landscape frames the circular
buildings by almost letting them rest on the curving side of the
hill.
