Assignment Three

Part One

Composition: In order to frame this image I sat on the ground to get the angle looking up. I also used a flash along with the full moon that as above me.

Concept: My image is about being a lone. This shed looks abounded but one can still see the tree branch in the window and it show how life still moves on even after something is forgotten.

Method: I tried many different angles to get this photograph the way I wanted it. I laid in the dirt, sat in it, stood on my car and then I finally captured a nice picture, that was crisp. 

Motivations: My goal was to make this shed look abounded. I saw this shed a while back and I new I wanted to use it for a project. I also wanted to get a nice view on the leaves. 

Context: This photo demonstrates how society let things go and watch them run down. It also shows how society always want everything new, and how one cannot restore something with so much potential.  

Part Two

Interpretation: The classes interpretation of this image was that it is a shed that has been abandoned.

Evaluation: The class really liked the color contrast and the reflection in the window. They said the reflection made the window because it shows that there is something else around it.

Extension: I think it would be nice to see what the inside of this shed looks like, and use it as a jumping off point for a larger project.

Part One

Composition: In order to frame this image I stood about it to try and get a good angel on it. I also used the morning light so it would have a great shadow effect.

Concept: I can see this photo as a map or life. The rings can show how old the tree or object is. The tack is representing a starting point or an ending point to life as we know it. 

Method: I took quit a few shots of this stump. I wanted it to be framed just right and not allow it to show to much of the water behind it. 

Motivations: I having been trying to use more natural lighting rather then my flash. I really wanted to show how one can capture the shading of an object without lighting it their selves.

Context: Sometimes everyone needs to stop and take a look at what they have before it is gone.

Part Two

Interpretation: The class viewed this image as a google map, or a road map, and the tack was the  beginning point.

Evaluation: The class liked the burning and dodging. They also said it looked like a pile of brush, so I guess this image could be viewed in many different ways. They thought I could try and add some more burning and dodging to the image as well.

Extension: It would be neat to create a series and have it relate to old road maps.

 

Part One

Composition: I took this picture with natural light.  I wanted to show the detail of the wire with color contrast.

 Concept:Whenever I look at this image it reminds me of my little sister. I know it sounds odd but family is a huge part of my life, and horses and fields have always been her thing. The compositional elements support this because the fence reminds me of farmland.

Method: I took a lot of shots to get this one the way I wanted it. I really wanted to show the detail in the log as well as in the barb wire. 

Motivations: My intention for the photograph was to  make it look old and warn down. We discussed memories in a previous project, and as I said before this reminded me of my little sis, and the times we spent as kids in the fields with the horses.

Context: This photo brings a new perspective to a fence because it is only showing one piece of it. Also when one may look at it, they may expect to see wood crossings, rather then barbed wire. One could view this picture in a cultural aspect when thinking of poverty. It displays the hardships one may experience though out their lives. 

Part Two

Interpretation: The classes interpretation of this image was an old farm field with a fence.

Evaluation: The class really like the bottom of the composition. They thought it would look better if I would add another post. Also they thought it would look better with less texture above the post, even though I think it does a great job of explaining where the image is standing.

Extension: It would be interesting to do a series of pictures with all different shaped fences. There are so many oddly shaped ones, I think it would look amazing to have them side by side so one could compare them.

 

Part One

Composition: I took this picture with morning light.  I wanted to balance the reflection in the water with the leaves.

 Concept: This image reminds me of fear, fear of being alone. This image supports that because the leaves are drifting away from the tree.

Method: I really wanted to get a good reflection of only the trees. It took a few shots to get a good angle and to have it be only the trees. The first few times I took it, there was a lot of motion in the background. 

Motivations: My intention for the photograph was to make have the tree and the leaves become one. I wanted the leaves in the water to look as though they were on the tree branches, or just falling off.

Context: In this day and age, especially college students create this fear in their mind of being alone. I know a lot of students cannot stand to be by their selves. I know for me, one of my biggest fears is growing old all alone.  

Part Two

Interpretation: The classes interpretation of this image was literal, a reflection of the tree with the leaves floating in the water.

Evaluation: The class really liked the lights and dark's the image had to offer. The also liked the reflection in the water.

Extension: I think it would be interesting to capture different things in a reflection, rather it be in a mirror, a pound, a mud puddle or a bath tub, I think it would make an interesting composition.
