Photo #1

 

Objective 3:

 

1. Rule of Thirds: This photo shows good rule of thirds because the heart lays exactly in the crossing of the horizontal and vertical crossing of the thirds lines. This is where the eye naturally goes and makes for a more interesting stronger picture.

 

2. Perspective and depth: The perspective is low down to the book and this is an angle we don’t normally see. Because of this low angle the heart looks and lot bigger than it actually is compared to the book making the heart the center of attention.

 

4. Backgrounds: What background there is, is simple and black and contrasts with the picture. The simple no distracting background keeps the eyes from wandering away from the heart, this keeps the main subject in focus.

 

5. Leading Lines: The text in the books leads to the heart and brings the eyes attention back to the heart. The edge of the book also leads the focus and attention back to the main subject. This makes for a more interesting picture.

 

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

Types of lighting and how they contribute to the image: This image has hard side lighting. It makes a nice crisp shadow which is what I was going for and it really defines the edges of the heart this makes for a little bit of an edgy look.

 

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

Corrections/adjustments made: I added sharpen, contrast, resized and changed it to black and white. The sharpen made the image look crisper, the contrast really helped bring out the shadow from the book, resized to go on flickr and black and white to add a unique look. These helped make this image much stronger.

 

Objective 6: Critique

 

Strength: I think this is a really unique shot with good rule of thirds.

 

Area for growth:I think including words from the text would make this image a lot more interesting.
