LIGHT PAINTING

As people were taking pictures of light painting using the flashlight, I also wanted to do something different. I noticed that the blinds on the door had a line of little wholes, where light entered the room. I took a picture of the blinds and moved my camera around to create the same movement as the flashlight, with a very different effect. 

 I went to the front of the room to look at the colors that has been used for the light painting with the flashlight. The flashlight was creating a reflection on the plastic that made the colors pop more. I lined up certain colors and rested the flashlight on them and took a picture, moving the camera slowly. The colors aren't so bold in this photo, but fade into each other.

 While photographing the light painting, I noticed that the slow movement wasn't quite as interesting as the fast movement. So, I started out slow (the more delicate wave in the middle), and started to move my camera so that it made lines and shapes across the page. I like the geometric aspect in this picture.

For this photo, i was, again, searching for something that would be different than the rest of the photos. The shades covering a window didn't touch the ground, so there was a line of light at the bottom. There was also a chair in front of the window, which meant that the light only entered the photo in certain places. I moved my camera a little so that there would still be motion in the picture.

BLUR

 Definition is present in this photo of a keyboard, even though it is blury. It is almost as if the keys are moving, which making the keys start to blend into each other.

 This photo is almost as if I took a photo of the classroom, and then added a picture of the people. The background, or walls of the classroom, are apparent even though there are people in front of them. The lights in the room slowly blend into the white ceiling, so that the light looks even bigger and brighter than it was.

The photo, in my opinion, looks as if I were in a car and took a picture of the scenery. I love that it appears as if Drew and the church are moving.

I decided to experiment with a tissue and see how it would turn out. Even though its all white, there's tons of shading in this photo. Also, even though this isn't necessarily of an object someone would easily recognize, the picture still appears blurry.

REPETITION

These three marks in the ground are similar in shape and color and give a sense of repetition that is more natural.

None of these pennies are exactly alike, so that they create an interesting pattern. The angle of this photo is also an example of leading lines

This repetition is in the form of a column, which is different than most of my other photos that are items in a row. I also like that you can see a little of Cortland and my reflection.

The coloring and shadowing in this photo interests me. The colors pop out compared to the plain desk. Also, the desk is light on top of the skittles, and after the skittles is more darkness. The skittles are also an example of repetition in a row.

The stairs are a less obvious form of repetition, but the white lines are the same. The lighting in this picture also appeals to me.

FOREGROUND BACKGROUND

In this photo, the details in my backpack are very clear and defined and the background is blurry, playing into the foreground/background theme.

Even though the background of the church isn't necessarily blurry, the lighting and the details in this photo make the church and sky the background, and the gate the foreground.

The details in the leaves are exagerated, as well as the spots in the concrete, which plays into the theme of forground and background. The colors of the leaves reminds me of fall.

I love that you can see the etchings in the wood, and that it is also an example of leading lines. The white door is blury, and the hinge adds a more interesting aspect to the background.

LEADING LINES & PERSPECTIVE

The plants are extremely defined and play into the leading lines with the brick wall. The coloring is somewhat faded which adds a calmness to the photo.

In my first picture, I found the lines on the cabinet to be appealing. The etchings of the wood are artsy and the lighting creates interesting shading on the handles. 

 In this black and white photo, the buildings become smaller as they become farther back. The shadow of the pole is also interesting since it, in addition to the buildings, becomes smaller as it goes farther from the base.

I like how defined the birds are in this picture and that they become smaller, as well as more blury.

 In this picture, the wood is very defined and each piece of wood is an example of leading lines. I also like the coloring and effects in this photo.

 The lockers are an excellent example of perspective. Also, you can see that even though the framing for the photo is the same, I become smaller as  i step back in the room.

The brick wall is an example of leading lines, as well as the telephone poles. Both are subtle changes, but become smaller in the distance. I found that this is also a good rule of thirds.

RULE OF THIRDS

This photo is simple yet the folds in the origami crane and the wood adds more depth. These are very warm colors, which appeal to me.

The towers are the same and are in the first and third sections of the photo. I also like the use of negative space in this photo.

The stairs go extremely well with the rule of thirds. The lines within the stairs play well into this assignment.

My shirt, stomach and jeans play into the rule of thirds in a less obvious way. My hair also takes up a column of the photo.

This photo uses the rule of thirds through columns and rows. The colors of this photo are very pastel and cute, while some of the pins are off. I like that the pins are not set up perfectly, which creates a cute and still interesting picture.

The windows in this picture plays into the rule of thirds. The buildings behind Drew also apply. The blinds add a cool texture to this photo.

This candle is split into thirds (the base layer for the 1st and 3rd row and the string for the 2nd row).

This was taken in hawaii and i thought it was another good example of using the perspective of the camera pointing up.
