Assignment One: Tutor Feedback
Thoughts on Tutor Feedback. I’ll write my tutors comments in bold. “A good exploration of the assignment and the blog presents this clearly. The addition of the emailed attachment helps with this clarity. You are reading the assignments and unpicking the ideas. Continue to develop this further as this is good practice. You have energetically […]
Assignment One Contrasts
The Art of Photography Assignment One. Contrasts All photos are copyright. For the assignment I have to take sixteen photos and split them into eight pairs. Each pair has to have a contrast clearly shown in each image. There is also an additional one that conveys the two contrasts in one photo. I used my Pentax […]
Cropping
Usually placing the subject dead centre in the frame can create a static almost bland look, unless of course this suits the mood you are trying to acquire. And with symmetry it can be extremely effective. The following photo, I took, of a blonde bee on a flower can be taken two ways. The bee […]
Focal Lengths
The purpose for the exercise was to ‘appreciate the simplest effect of changing lenses’ and how it changes a photo. I had to find a view that was open with details in the middle and distance. I was on a day trip and chose this replica of a Spitfire. The lake was in the distance […]
Positioning the Horizon
Positioning the Horizon In this exercise I am going to be exploring the different effects you can achieve in photography by changing the position of the horizon. I tried this out several times on a beach but I didn’t get the photo I wanted, it just seemed a bit lacking. So when I went on […]
Study into Black and White Photography
For the exercise ‘Positioning the Horizon’ we were given two photos to study. The first was by Edwin and Smith, but the second was the one I liked best by Ansel Adams. His photo ‘White Branches Mono Lake’ is so dramatic, especially in monochrome as the viewer can really feel the emotion of the piece […]
Dividing the Frame
Dividing the Frame. For this exercise I had to study several of my already taken photographs and decide how the balance works in each. These are the ones I chose. I’ve never analysed my photos like this before so I’m interested in seeing what I will learn. Photo One. The balance achieved here is with […]
Focal Lengths and Different Viewpoints.
For this exercise I had to take two photos of the same object using a telephoto and wide-angle lens. I don’t own a telephoto so instead used my Sigma macro lens. I chose this windmill as my subject as it was stationary, so if I didn’t get the right shot I could come back here […]
Fitting the Frame to the Subject Part Two
This is part two of the original, Fitting the Frame to the Subject. I had to crop the original image in several different ways which I chose to do on-screen by means of IPhoto. I had to crop the original image in several different ways which I chose to do on-screen. I felt this was the […]
Exercise – Fitting the frame to the subject
For this exercise I had to take a series of photos with different framing to teach myself more about the possibilities of composition and the effect it can have on an image. Usually when I take a photo, I see it in my mind whether it’s what I want and take it, but I don’t […]
