Line and Shape
Reflection:
What locations and subject matter did you choose to shoot for your photos?
I chose locations that were around my house. There is a lot of definite lines and shapes so I figured that it'd be easier to do than try to go out and find another location. I chose a multitude of subject matter from my photos, from inanimate objects such as walls to animate objects like bees. A variety of subject matter was difficult to choose from because I didn't set up any objects to take photos of.
Describe the photos you took:What is the distance in the shot? (How close or far away are you from your subject?)
In the majority of the photos I took the shot was up close. Most likely less than a yard away from the closest object in the photo.
What was your point of view when you took the photos? (from above, below, straight on...)
All of the photos were taken from different angles. Some were taken from below the object and same were taken above. The first photo in the gallery was taken straight on and so was the photo of the flower as well as the wooden fence. The rest of the photos were taken from below.
Are your photographs horizontal or vertical?
My photographs are horizontal even though in most of the photos I'm shooting from below.
Did you consider the rule of thirds to compose your shots? In which photos? Describe.
In the photograph with the bee I attempted to try with the rule of thirds. But with most of the photos I did not have a particular object within the frame to focus on with the rule of thirds.
Which one of of your photos is a dynamic composition that successfully leads the viewer’s eye through the work?
The first photo of the shadow of the chair and the wall of my house leads the viewer's eye through the photo. The lines on the wall attracts the viewer's eye and leads the viewer's eye towards the soccer ball. The shadow of the chair also attracts the viewer's eye and helps lead the viewer to follow the lines on the wall.
