Objective 3: Composition Techniques
Perspective and depth: shooting the plant straight on and zoomed in adds detail that the human eye normally wouldn’t pick up from standing above the plant.
Fill the Frame: The bush is the only thing in the photo and it takes up the whole space. This helps the photo because berries are naturally small and having other things around the plant would be easily distracting.
Backgrounds: Having the blurred leaves as the background adds warmth and unity to the photo without being distracting.
Leading Lines: The main branch leads from the bottom left corner to the top right causing the eye to flow through the entire picture easily and comfortably.
Texture: The wrinkles in the berries add interest for the eye and realism in the photo overall.
Colour: The warm tones in most of the leaves contrast with the darker, cooler tones of the berries making them stand out more. It also causes a bit of a darker mood rather than if the berries were bright and plump.
Objective 4: Lighting (side, back, soft, hard, fill)
Types of lighting and how they contribute to the image:
Soft: There are no harsh shadows and all the colours can be seen true to the natural colours
Side: There is a slight lightness coming from the right side of the photo where the sun was angled
Fill
Objective 5: Post Production (resize, contrast, sharpening, and others you have done)
Corrections/adjustments made:
I cropped the photo a little bit to get rid of some distracting features that didn’t fit with the picture.
I sharpened the photo
I added contrast to the photo to add more natural warmth
I used the healing brush to remove some berries that seemed out of place
Objective 6: Critique
Strength: I think the positioning of the branch was a very good choice. The colours complement each other very well.
Area for growth: If I could take this photo again I would probably use the lighting and focal length more to my advantage to give a little more dimension between the different parts of the plant.
