I selected this area because it's a place my family used to stop on whenever we would go on family walks as I was a child and it's where my boyfriend and I decided to start dating.

I selected this area because this is the view I always had when I would go on walks by my grandparents' house.
I think HDR is very unique and is a great way to make your work your own. Anyone could take pictures of these areas, but with HDR you can make it more personal and I love that. I love how dynamic the photos turn out and that you wouldn't just see these kind of photos anywhere.
I think my images tell a story about my life. It starts with places of my childhood that were important to me and lead to important places to me in my life now. I think that being able to make these photos and choosing the location based on personal places makes the photos more significant and special. Anyone can take a picture of a building or location but when it's something personal to you and has a lot of meaning to you, it makes the picture more special somehow and that shows through your work. Especially when you can edit it and make it into your own view of it. I think now that instead of just going out and taking random pictures of places that I think are pretty, I'll start to go to places that mean something and try to incorporate that into whatever project I'm working on whether it's for school or for personal enjoyment.
The lighting of each photo captured every detail of the location. Instead of just focusing on one area of the location and creating a silhouette of the other details, it accentuates every detail of the place you're trying to capture. It makes the photo dynamic and eye catching and unique. It's not something you would just come across anywhere and it makes the photo more special.
Which picture goes with...
ReplyDeleteSymmetrical balance - The picture with the tables and it's under a pavilion
Repetition / pattern - The picture with the construction signs
Different point of view / perspective - The picture of the sky/ sunrise
Asymmetrical balance - The picture of the old house
Framing - The picture of the swing on the porch
Lines (leading, diagonal, horizontal, vertical) - The picture of the bridge in the woods
Which photo has the best composition? Why? The picture in the woods with the bridge. The colors are very vibrant and it looks like the photographer used a lot of saturation which makes the trees stand out. I also really like the detail of the bridge. I think that it creates an even balance between the forest area and the wood.
Which photo would you hang on your wall? Why? I would hang the picture of the old looking house on my wall. I think this picture is really really beautiful and has a lot of potential. I love how one part of the sky has a dark and spooky feeling, and then on the other side you can see orange and what looks like a sunrise. I also love how you can see every detail of the house and it looks very bold.
Which photo could use a little work? What needs done? (composition/lighting/cropping/camera angle/camera technique) I think the picture with the construction signs could use a little work. Towards the bottom of the picture, there is a sunspot. Maybe this picture was taken during the middle of the day, because I know I definitely struggled with a few of my own shots having sunspots. Perhaps maybe the photographer could wait a little later in the evening or even really early in the morning and I think they could prevent and avoid sunspots in their pictures. I think it could also use some more contrast to make it really bold.
When looking at the entire set of images what do they say about the photographer? Can you determine anything about the person by looking at their photos? Do they tell a story or are they just a collection of images? Yes, I think all of the photographer's pictures tell a story. Below each of the pictures, the photographer wrote a caption and explained why they took the picture. From what I've read and seen, I think that each picture has a personal and different story behind what is seen. It seems like it's either a new adventure or an old memory they have experience which is really cool to see through each of these pictures.
