Objective 3: Composition Techniques – Use the guide on the website

 

1. Rule of Thirds: The focal point of the photo is the arch on the fence. The eye is drawn there because it’s not right in the middle but off to the side using rule of thirds. The background is also blurred and the arch is clear so it stands out even more.

2. Perspective and depth: I took this photo from a low point of view which is how we wouldn’t normally see the fence, doing so gives it a different perspective. It also looks bigger in the image due to how close up it is. The photo also has depth because you see most of the fence and it goes far back creating a deeper image.

3. Fill the Frame

4. Backgrounds: the background in this photo is a forest but it’s blurred out so it doesn’t distract from the fence and leads your eye to the focal point. It’s also a dark colour while the fence is quite light, making the fence standout more. It’s also

5. Leading Lines: The leading line is the fence it can be seen as leading to the focal point/ arch of the fence helping it pop more, or it goes to the end of the photo and fades out.

6. Pattern

7. Texture

8. Framing

9. Colour

10. Diagonals

11. Space and/or Space to Move

12. Balance

 

 

Objective 4: Lighting (side, back, soft, hard, fill)

Types of lighting and how they contribute to the image: the lighting in the image was outside which is quite soft so it doesn’t look to harsh

 

Objective 5: Post Production (resize, contrast, sharpening, and others you have done)

Corrections/adjustments made:, I resized the image to 1000 so it fits on flickr. I also sharpened the image so its more clear and stands out more. I also added a little contrast so that the brights and darks work with eachother and make the other pop.

 

Objective 6: Critique

Analyse your photograph for strengths and areas for improvement (consider composition, lighting, exposure, overall feel, etc.)

 

Strength: I think the strength in the photo is the depth and perspective because I think it’s a different way of seeing the photo rather than a different angle. I also think the colours help to compliment and make the arcg standout since its so light against darks.

 

Area for growth: I think I could be more steady because I would like a sharper image. I also would like to aim for a less distracting background because I don’t like the trees in the background.
