Telephone Pole HDR - Photo 5

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design

Space – The sky is the negative space and everything else is positive space. The wires connecting to the telephone pole help break up negative space. The sky also helps to outline and emphasize the telephone pole.

 

Texture – The telephone pole has a rough, weathered texture which is emphasized by the dramatic lighting. The places where the clouds are thinner also add a bit of texture to the photo. Since the clouds are more blurred, it adds to the soft texture they already have.

 

Balance – The subject of the photo, the telephone pole, draws the eye the most. The streetlight helps to balance it out a bit. This is informal balance. Also, the rough texture of the wood is balanced by the soft texture of the sky.

 

Objective 7: Photographic Styles (ex. portrait, landscape, etc.)

Type/style of photography: HDR

The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): Aperture priority. I wanted to make sure the entire telephone pole was in focus.

f stop used: 11.0

shutter speed used: 1/250, 1/1000, 1/4000

ISO used: 400. It was pretty cloudy, but I did use a tripod. I might have been able to get the ISO even lower, but I liked the way it turned out.

Exposure compensation: -2, 0, 2

Focal length: 18 mm you could see as much of the telephone pole and the streetlight as possible.
