Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
Principles of Design
Emphasis- The leaf was taken in Rule of thirds, and then the background was made black and white to emphasise the leaf further, however, the picture was taken very close to the leaf, blurring the background very strongly.
Contrast- The light hit parts of the leaf harder than others, so there is a contrast between dark and bright light in the leaf.
Pattern- The background shows examples of pattern because of the blend of black, white, and grey colours spread throughout the blurred background creating a pattern.
Elements of Design
Colour- The leaf has bright greens mixed with darker greens, as well as a red and light red/pink root. The colours, on top of the black and white background make the leaf stand out.
Line- The example of line is the horizontal line that the stem makes across the centre of the leaf. Your eye goes straight for the stem at first glance, so this is why this picture makes a good example of line.
Objective 4: Lighting
The lighting originally was very bright, so I had to bring the lighting down in order to make the photo look less saturated in light.
The lighting was soft because there are little to no shadows on the surface of the leaf.
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, resize, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
I took the photo and brought the light down until the leaf was less washed out. I made the photo black and white, and then brought colour only back to the leaf. The red in the stem was washed out due to the brightness of the sun, so after turning down the light, I brought colour back to the stem by playing with the colour filter.
Objective 6: Critique
I think that I did the Rule of Thirds well, as wells as the post production editing. I think that the focus of the leaf was well done. Something I can work one is trying to keep the original colours, to make them look less saturated even further.
