Rusty Nuts

Taken at my cabin on the Sunshine Coast,

 

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design

The principles of design demonstrated (describe the use): There is repition with the nuts, but not really in a pattern. The nut that I have focused on is emphasized because of the black and white background, and the canvas' colour. There is contrast in the colours of the nut that i have re-coloured. This picture demonstrates harmony and unity between the nuts, bolts, and screws.

The elements of design demonstrated (describe the use): There is form and shape in the nut because of the way the light hits it, and the shadows. It shows a 3-D form. It has a rough texture to it that you can see from the peeling rust, and paint that is coming off the nut, I tried to get the nut on the lower-left side, in the rule of thirds focal point. There are many types of lines in this photo: curved, diagonal, and straight/jagged lines. I think the most prominent feel of the photo is strength however, even though there are no vertical lines that i could find.

 

Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)

Corrections/adjustments made: First I converted the photo to black and white, and then re-coloured in the one nut that i have focused on. I then created 3 canvas' to create a cool border. The first is black, the second is the colour of the rust that i picked of the nut, and the third is a larger black to finish it. I then sharpened and resized the photo to appropriate lengths for Flickr.
