White. March. True Colours 2017
From yesterday afternoon, took a slight detour on the way home to photograph the railway line that goes to the port, but never seems to be used.
There are plans for a foot bridge, over the railway, so we can walk directly to the park and sea.

A washing line of a family living in an underground house - which on average would take one year to dig - in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Amazing!

I've really been getting into the works of flickr.com/photos/stoppin/ and flickr.com/photos/_farmerbob_/ so I thought I'd try some abstracts of my own.

Creative Exposure:
As we didn’t know a lot about camera exposure yet at the time I took this picture I didn’t adjust most of the settings. I had the camera mode on P as standard and an ISO of 1600 as I shot this picture inside the metal shop. I did zoom in though to focus the camera more on the wood spiral, make the background more blurry to prevent it from being distracting and hereby emphasised the wood spiral.
Elements and Principles of Design:
First of all I want to refer to the composition of the shot as I used the manual focus lock to get the wood spiral into a point of interest according to the rule of thirds. It is nice that at least part of the metal plate which the wood spiral is laying on is also in the area of interest and therefore crisp.
Obviously the curved lines of the wood spiral build a nice contrast to the rather straight lines that create the form of the metal block. Those give the picture a sense of stability, regularity and order while the curved lines add beauty, elegance and charm and make the whole image smoother. The curved lines of the wood spiral are also the leading line. As the angle on which I shot the metal block is rather unusual and it’s lines aren’t vertical and horizontal but diagonal which makes the whole composition more interesting by forcing the eye to follow the lines across the image. It’s form is enhanced by shadows which make its three different dimensions length, depth and width more obvious. The meeting point of their three lines is still on one line with the wood spiral and therefore in the area of interest and nice and crisp. The metal block probably once was a geometric box with sharp edges but the many years of usage smoothened them and added some cuts so I would now call a an organic form.
As the wood spiral is the only thing on the metal block there’s not a lot of variety in the picture, which would’ve made the image more interesting by keeping the eye moving around the piece a lot more, but would’ve taken the focus from the wood spiral. To prevent that, I shot a still life with an empty area surrounding my main object to create the feeling of space, which helps to put all the emphasis on it.
To add more contrast and take away unnecessary distractions in the background I experimented with the Clone Stamp Tool in Photoshop to eliminate all the other obvious colour spots except for the wooden spiral. But I still wanted to keep the some colour and not totally convert the background into black and white because when I tried that it looked very cold and cool, there was too much contrast and I missed especially the warmer yellow and orange colour touches on the metal. So instead I covered the two main bright spots in the background and then boosted up the saturation on the yellow of the wood spiral.
As the wood spiral and the metal block (for most parts) are crisp you can see the fine lines that make out the structure of the cropped wood and the smoothed out cuts and indentations on the metal block that make out their texture. It makes the image appealing to the sense of touch which helps to make the photograph look more realistic and enhances the three-dimensional feel.
Lighting:
As this picture is shot in the metal workshop the main source of light is unfortunately the top lighting, but a rather soft shadow of the wood spiral as well as the dark shadow on the facing side of the metal block also indicate some softer lighting from the back. Nevertheless I had my ISO on 1600 to lighten up the whole image a little bit.
Post Production:
Resizing
Unsharp mask to sharpen the edges a little bit and make the image more crisp
Use of curves to add contrast
Experimented in with the Clone Stamp Tool in Photoshop to eliminate other colour spots in the picture other than the wooden spiral
Boost up saturation of yellow
Critique:
After another month of photography lessons I know a lot more especially about the right lighting. If I was to redo the shot I would try to use diffused side lighting rather than harsher top lighting. Also I would try to eliminate the colour and form distractions in the background right on the set either by putting them to the side or by using my new gained knowledge about the AS camera mode, the opening of the lens and therefore blur the background even more. Hereby I could avoid using the Clone Tool which unfortunately put a slight foggy cover over the background and forced me to add a big black area at the top of the image which I dislike. Otherwise I’m more than satisfied with the composition of my shot and the focus lock. The important parts are crisp and I love how you can see the fine texture on the wood and get the smooth feel of the metal block as if you were actually touching it.
Photographic Styles:
Even though I don’t know a lot about photographic styles I would probably put this image into still life as it has a calming emotion and there is no action.
