"What is this?..."

Many people observing my photograph will ask "What is that?" to them I give many answers. After today's lesson, I can confidently tell them that this is Light & Shadow, Pattern, and Abstract. All of which I just named are photography ideas judging by the monotone color, clarity in the light, and repeating ripples.

Simple yet Effective

I ended up choosing this photo because it seemed to be the most favorable due to its simplicity. Mainly because of its repetition, geometric shapes, and light and shadow. However I was conflicted between another really good photo I captured. I also believe this photo would give a calming mood to people who see it.

Mystery

In my photo a few elements can be found, first light and shadow. The light coming in from the window makes everything else dark casting the shadow and adding mystery. Another element I focused on was texture. Specifically the dish, if the dish did not have the lines running around it, the photograph would not be as lively because the line makes the photo seem more 3D.

Spring Training

My approach to taking this photo changed as the time went on. I tried to find the right angle and then I got the idea to take a picture of their legs being a tunnel. It incorporates repetition and since the main focus is off center the rule of thirds comes into play. I took the picture from a level closer to the ground, changing the perspective of the photograph. Texture is also apparent when looking at the turf, it comes off as a rough surface. I believe this picture gives off a neutral feeling. Neither dark or happy.

Pizza Steps

This picture uses an atypical point of view of spiral steps to create the effect of being pizza slices. There is also a very metallic texture to this picture. I chose this out of my pictures from the day because of its eye grabbing characteristics.

Mind Games

 The photo that I took fits the abstract category. Taking pictures like theses allows the viewer to look at the picture to determine what the image looks like for themselves. So i leave you with this question what does this look like to you?

Finding Patterns and Repetition

 I admire this photo because it's an odd picture that shows five different reflections in all five mirrors. I like the brightness of the photo it shows the details of the sink. The picture also shows repetition of serveral different objects. My pictures are just going to get better and better because I'm practicing everyday.

Roller Coaster? Or...?

What is this?

The compositions of this picture consistent with what I learned are, abstract because this kind of thing can be taken for different points of view and not decipher what it is and for that reason this photo is special, and other of the photography ideas is atypical point of view because you don't look this at this point of view and you are intrigued to see this photo.

What is Life?

For this still life I really did not expect anything to come out of it. I just took a picture of a chair and many people said that it signifies loneliness. This photo also has some leading lines that direct you to the chair. In terms of compositions, this photo has a very simplistic background. I'd like to call this photo "Depression."

The 78

This picture is taken using a composition technique called the Rule of Thirds. The Rule of Thirds is when an object's picture is taken off the center of the picture. This picture also shows texture. Texture is the surface characteristics of an object such as: smooth or rough, soft or hard or, shiny or dull.
