Photography Assignment 3

February 24, 2012

For this assignment I am suppose to take four pictures that include: Balance, Gradation, Repetition, Contrast, Harmony, Dominance, and Unity.

This picture has Contrast, Balance of the two cars and Dominance from the sun. I was trying to capture the light of the sun’s light coming over the two cars. I was also trying to catch some shadows from the cars.

You can see the Repetition of the weights on the stand and also some Harmony. I was trying to get a line of the same object and have some of them in focus and some not.

This picture has a lot of Repetition, Harmony, and also some Unity. It looks like the lockers on the left lead into the wall on the right where the other lockers are, but then if you look at the floor, it goes around the corner.

This picture has Balance of the tiles and the leaf. It also has some nice texture difference of the leaf and tile. The detail of the leaf is pretty neat too.

The assignment was to take the same picture of texture three different times. First angle.

You can see the difference in texture of the leaf, the veins on the leaf, and the wood behind it. Second angle

The leaf is a little more out of focus in this picture which adds different texture.

Bonus picture of texture. The lockers are smooth, but the wall and light behind them are a little softer.

I’m trying to find four pictures that incorporate Shape, Weighing/Placement, Emphasis, Dynamics, Balance, Point of View, and Rule of Thirds. This is hard to try to find only four pictures that include all of those things.

This picture includes Shape, Dynamics, Placement, and a little bit of Emphasis. I also like the Texture and light in this picture. Even though it’s quite a simple picture, there is a lot to look at.

 

This picture includes POV (Point of View), Placement and a little bit of Asymmetrical Balance. I found out by editing the photo that if it’s turned on the side, the picture looks brighter. I think that’s because the lighter sections in the picture are in the top, and when you turn it, it’s on the bottom.

This picture includes Rules of Thirds. The railing is appearing from bottom right of the picture and running through. It also has POV and Shape.

In this picture the main point I wanted to get was Rule of Thirds, but it has some nice color in it too. It also has emphasis of the blue. It’s a simple picture and has a main Dynamic and Placement.

In photography class at school, we needed to take four pictures that used lines that define or separate an object. Lines can lead an eye out of a picture or they can lead your eye into a picture. The different lines were: Vertical lines, Horizontal lines, Curved lines. and Oblique lines. Here are my top three picks.

You can see that there are many lines in different places in this picture. Some on the roof, the long Vertical railing through the center, and even the reflection of the roof on the railing. The railing leads your eyes into the picture.

Even though it looks like these panels are curving in, they are actually straight. These Horizontal lines draw your eye to the right side of the picture.

I’m trying to capture Diagonal lines with the light post going through the picture from bottom right to top left.

The Curved lines in the weights in this picture draw the eye towards the back of the picture towards the wall and the other stand in the background.

The black crossing in between the tiles creates Oblique lines. There is also some nice color and texture in this picture.
