Assignment 8; composition-scale depth, framing. simplicity

                                                                             Scale

   

Although many others have taken the same picture, I decided to use this as my example for scale. Everyone loves ice cream. I wish I had come up with something a little bit more original, but couldn't. To be honest I didn't fully grasp the concept of scale up until recently. So taking a picture of something I didn't understand was a little bit tricky

Simplicity

 

I really like this photo. It was very difficult to take it because it was windy outside, and I had set my camera to macro mode. Most of my attempts turned out blurry except this one. Life is simple and beautiful. This picture also combines nice colors and has some texture 

Depth

Assignment #9; composition, texture,repetition, angle of view

Contrast

For my contrast picture, I chose this one. 

I really like how bright the colors of the roses are. They really pop, and for a second I thought that My EV was too high, but I realized that the roses are actually white-tipped. I name this one, french tip rose:)

However, I went to the aquarium and took some pictures, and I wanted to share this one as well. I am really drawn to the combination of the deep blue and orange of the Medusa.

 

Texture

For texture, I picked the little feather on gravel. It was actually tiny. I had to kneel down to get a good look. It was a completely coincidental discovery. I tripped, looked down, and not only does the texture contrasts between rock and feather, but the colors as well.

 

Because I have some weird fascination with trees, I also wanted to include this one:

And this one!---------->

 Repetition

 

I would just like to say for the record, goats don't listen very well. I stood there, making faces, and jumping, whistling and all kind of silly things to try and get them to look at me all at once. NO LUCK. One even had the nerve to say BEEEHHHH. On a different note, I really like goats, and taking photos of them. They are very photogenic:) 

 Angle of View

 

I had a hard time getting the focus right. However, I can't say i hate the way it is in the picture. I am curious as to whether this would also work for a representation of depth.Again, my fascination of trees has influenced this photo greatly.It also has texture.  I walked under many trees hoping to spot a critter on one of them. I had no luck. I still took this photo because I loved the colors on the bark. I did find a spider, but not on a tree. Here he is:)

Photo challenge #3

Activity log week 8

Last week on my jog, I went down to  the quay and ran from the giant tin man to the bridge. By the fountain, I came across a friendly car who insisted I stopped and give him some attention. I couldn't resist the temptation, I pet the car out of him:) my jog lasted about 35 minutes. After the bridge, I ended up by the car dealership on marine. U then ran uphill until 10th and home from there. Another memorable run!

Assignment #8 smiles!!!

Dare say she doesn't have the shiniest coat, the sharpest teeth and brightest eyes..

JUST KIDDING LISA!!!!!

Assignment #3 Discovering my type of photography.

This assignment gave me nightmares. I thought about this question and it tortured me. I was beginning to think that I am an empty human being that is tasteless and careless. At last, I have finally found my "type" of photography.

I don't know what exactly this "type" of photography would be called. I prefer when there is no people in it, just nature. It also has to be a picture that captures a moment, and gives me a certain feeling. I realised this once, when I was going through some personal hardships. I was standing outside, and I had an urge to take a picture to remember that exact moment. I feel like a picture can capture that "feeling" one is experiencing at the moment.

For some reason, I appreciate emptiness in photographs. As in, no people, no sign of civilization. It almost feels as though I could smell the air in the photograph, feel the wind and the temperature. Maybe you can suggest th specific name of this style of photo?
