Image 1:
I chose this image because I feel like was the photo that best satisfied the "Line and Shape" assignment.
This image is compositionally dynamic because it shows line and shape and the law of thirds. The shapes of the leaves, and the lines of the stems and in the leaves make this photo look interesting. The stem of the plant is on the horizontal second third.
First, the viewer's eye looks toward the leaf that is right in front because it is the biggest and clearest. The viewer's eye then moves to the others leaves in back of the one in front. Then the viewer's eye moves down the stem of the plant.
When shooting this image, I considered line and shape, the law of thirds, and the shooting angle.
Image 2:
I chose this image because i think it was the photo that best satisfied the "Utility Poles" assignment. I think that the angle the photo was taken at makes it look interesting.
This image is compositionally dynamic because it shows line and shape, and the law of thirds. The lines of the wires on the utility pole cross to form different shapes. the pole is on the vertical second third and the wires on the horizontal top third.
First, the viewer's eye looks toward the bottom of the utility pole because it's close up. Next, the viewer's eye moves up the pole and to the wires. Last, the viewer notices the trees in the background.
When shooting this image, I considered line and shape, the law of thirds, and also the shooting angle.
Image 3:
I chose this image because I feel like it was one of the photos that best satisfied the "Aperture and Depth of Field" assignment.
This image is compositionally dynamic because it shows line and shape and depth of field. The rows of keys on the typewriter create lines. The front of the typewriter is out of focus, the middle of the type writer is in focus, and the end of the typewriter is out of focus.
First, the viewer's eye moves to the part the typewriter that's in focus. Then, the viewer notices the ends of the typewriter, where it's not in focus.
When shooting this image, I considered line and shape and depth of field. I used a small
f-stop so that only the middle of the typewriter would be in focus.
Image 4:
I chose this image because i felt like it was the one that best satisfied the "portraiture" assignment.
This image is compositionally dynamic because it shows portraiture and the law of thirds. The position of the lighting and Jenn's expression makes this an interesting portrait. She is on the vertical second third.
The viewer's eye will immediately look at Jenn. The viewer will look at her face first, and then notice the details like how her hair fades into the background.
When shooting this image, I considered the law of thirds and he lighting situation. Jenn is on the vertical second third. There is a diffused light shining down on Jenn from the right and there is a white board to the left of her that is reflecting light into the left side of her face.
Image 5:
I chose this image because I felt that it was the one that best satisfied the "Freezing and Capturing Motion" assignment.
This image is compositionally dynamic because it captures motion and the law of thirds. The object in Jenn's hands was moving when the picture was taken, which created motion blur. The object is on the horizontal bottom third.
First, the viewer's eye will move the the object because it is the closest and has motion blur. Then, the viewer looks at Jenn. Then, the viewer looks at the background behind Jenn.
When shooting this image, I considered capturing motion and the law of thirds. I used a slow shutter speed to create motion blur. I put the object on the hoizontal bottom third of the photo.
Image 6:
I chose this image because it was one of the photos that best satisfied the "aperture and depth of field" assignment.
This image is compositionally dynamic because it shows depth of field. The object that is closest to the viewer is out of focus. The phone, which is in the middle of the photo, is on focus. The back of the photo, behind the phone, is out of focus.
First, the viewer's eye moves to the phone, which is in focus. Next, the viewer will notice that the objects in both the background and the foreground are blurry.
When shooting this image, I considered depth of field. I used a small f-stop so that only the middle of the photo, (the phone) would be in focus.
