Spring: Photo Number 1
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
Texture: This photo contains many different textures, the rocks create large bumps, the mud itself is not smooth but bumpy, and there are small pieces of grass that create a sharp look. When texture is added it adds interest to the photo, because it gives the photo more to look at.
Line: This photo has a curved leading line. The edge of the water and the mud creates the curved leading line. The line starts at the bottom left corner and curves along to the top left corner, the curve in the line creates a sense of beauty and elegance.
Colour: The colour scheme in this photo is monochromatic. The photo is full of all different shades of brown in the mud, the water, the leaf, and even the few pieces of grass. The monochromatic colour scheme helps to tie together all the pieces of the photo.
Form: This photo was shot with side lighting. When side lighting is used it creates shadows on one side of the object. When these shadows are formed it gives the object a 3D effect which is form.
Objective 4: Lighting
The type of line that was used in this photo was side lighting. The day this photo was taken was an overcast day so the sun was slightly diffused. In the photo you can see that the sun is hitting in the top right corner. I chose to take the photo with a side view because there are so many parts to it and the side view really helped to bring out all of the pieces.
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, resize, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
Corrections/adjustments made:
Sharpening: Sharpening was used to help define the photo’s edges.
Contrast: I used contrast to help give further definition between the lighter and darker areas.
Resizing
Objective 6: Critique
I think that this photo is a good photo that used some of the skills I know. The strongest elements I used in this photo were texture and form. I think the texture worked well because it was not just in one area in the photo, but it was spread out throughout the entire photo. The form was well defined because of the lighting that I was able to use. The areas were not flat, but all different heights so form worked very well. The curved leading line was included in the elements of design used, but it was not strong. The line does not lead to anything specific, instead it just leads from one end of the photo to the other. In the future I would adjust my camera angle to get a stronger leading line. I think the overall feeling in this photo works well because it is relatable. The water and mud is something that we see every year in the spring and most people strongly dislike it, but when you get close enough you can see that there is beauty in something that most people think of as gross weather conditions.
