This little shack was right next to the train tracks at Messiah College. I thought that this part of the campus looked like an abandoned town. There was also an old looking wagon behind this shack. I think it means that no matter how old something is, it will always stand firm and have its own meaning.
This picture was taken at Messiah College on the train tracks. The tracks represent leading lines and I chose this location because eventually in life, people have to choose how they're going to live it. There is only one path, depending on what they choose.
This picture was taken from inside of the bridge at Messiah. From the inside, the bridge looks really old and rustic and then when I looked out across the creek, I thought it looked really nice together. The frame of this picture may look old and worn out, but the picture itself still has freshness.
This picture was taken of the bridge at Messiah.I have gone to this bridge so many times in my life since I was little. I think there's a deeper meaning, that life keeps going on, as the bridge does in the picture.
I chose this specific location of the bridge because I think it shows many obstacles in life. On the inside of the bridge, there is a lot of detail and I think it can represent the struggles and triumphs, but then there is light at the other end of the bridge. Even though there are storms in life, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
I chose to take pictures of these jars because I think it represents decisions. There are a lot of different jars in this picture and I think that people have many choices to make in life, depending on their situation. There are many many options to choose from and most people choose so that it will benefit themselves.
Reflection: After experimenting with HDR Photography, I have found that I really love the concept of the images I have produced. At first, I didn't think I would like it, but once I started taking pictures and editing them, I actually was quite pleased with my shots. I think this type of photography can really create a different look and feel for this specific location. The colors and detail became sharper and more appealing to the eye. I think it shows what the eye wants to see in it's own way.
Which picture goes with...
ReplyDeleteSymmetrical balance - The bridge with the red building.
Repetition / pattern - The photo with the jars
Different point of view / perspective - The bridge taken from the side
Asymmetrical balance - The green shack next to Messiah
Framing - The window that looks out onto trees and a creek.
Lines (leading, diagonal, horizontal, vertical) - The photo of the train tracks
Which photo has the best composition? Why? I think the lines of the train is the best composition because as soon as you see the photo, you know it's leading/curved lines and have no question about it.
Which photo would you hang on your wall? Why? I would hang the photo that has framing and looks out onto the trees and creek because I think it's beautiful and love how the creek and trees look and that it was taken through the opening.
Which photo could use a little work? What needs done? (composition/lighting/cropping/camera angle/camera technique) - I think the photo that was taken of the symmetrical bridge could use some work with the editing technique because the sky looks like it's completely grayed out on the left side and then has details on the right and it is kind of distracting.
When looking at the entire set of images what do they say about the photographer? Can you determine anything about the person by looking at their photos? Do they tell a story or are they just a collection of images? I think that she loves Messiah college and maybe wants to go there for college or possibly has a sibling that goes there. It's a collection of the same place and not a variety of random places that are important to her.
