Framing

1/30sec; f/7.1; ISO 1250; M; 37.00 mm

  1. Do I have a strong composition? I would say, that I have composition. Though I feel I could’ve done better.
  2. How well did I edit my photographs? Good, but I wish that I had more knowledge to do more than I did. 
  3. What would I do differently if I shot this assignment again? I would make sure that I have better lighting and that I would slow down my shutter speed just a bit.
  4. Do you think your photographs belong on the blog home page and should be considered one of the best from all the photo classes? Will, for this assignment I still believe I could’ve done better. Although, I wouldn’t say they won’t be in the blog home page.

All about me

by addison234

This is a collage about the bands and even movies I like. The bands would be there because growing up, my dad would listen to all types of rock, though his favorite would be trash and heavy metal. Of course I also have different tastes in rock, but I do have similar songs to my dad. My favorite would have to be The Animals, because though they don’t have the heavy metal vibe. It still has a good instrumental background to it, plus the singers voices are very good. My second favorite would be Queen because they tend to add different song elements to each song. Rock mixed with opera or rock I general they do it all. They even said that Queen doesn’t have a definition, they basic do what they want without any care in the world. Though there’s more bands in my collage, the movies I added are some of my favorites. The chucky movies never fail to make me laugh due to the comedy they add into it. Sinister is more thriller and horror, but it still has a good story and they make every scene a good one. I didn’t get too add a movie but I wanted to add “Scream” and “Jigsaw”.  Those are the movies that ill remember the most, especially Jigsaw. The movies have a few comedic moments but at the end they still scare you unlike other scary movies.

Surrealism

by addison234

This is a surreal picture from the famous Salvador Dalí. This is surreal by making the clock melt off the table in the sky. Clearly this is surreal since this doesn’t happen in the real life but it uses real life objects making surreal. This type of art really is something anyone can do if they had creativity, even if you don’t, you can just take anything and make it abstract. One thing I like about this piece from Salvador Dalí is that the yellow is made to look shiny almost as if its actual good. This clock could be melting off or it can breaking off into the wind, it really depends on who is watching the picture. There’s no wonder he is one of the famous surrealist, his work really was surrealistic with no joke. The way he would combine different things together that aren’t meant to be together be together if you know what I mean. I would really like to art like this, but I really like a creep side of surrealism. I find it to be more creative sometimes because even creepy and horror stuff could be surrealistic if you really think about it. Horror can see realistic but also out of the ordinary since there’s ghosts, monsters, and etc.  Little things could make a whole difference to a surrealism piece because everything makes up this art. Even though Salvador Dalí may be the most well known surrealist, many others are well known like Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, and Michael Cheval. 

Angles

by addison234

1/250 sec; f/20; ISO 400; M; 27.00mm
The angle of this picture is from the bottom. You could see that the trees are facing the sky, making the light hard to see. Since it’s from the bottom, the trees looked blacked out, meanwhile the sky is as blue as ever. For inference, it this wear to taken from the front, there would be more light in order to show the color of the trees. You could even see the floor if you wanted too. If the angle were to be above, there would be more light on the floor so you would see the grass, flowers, or whatever that’ll be there. You could even angle this from a side of the tree. If you were to do that then the background of the tree would be blurry and the main thing would be the tree you’re taking the photo from. Maybe , you can take the picture from far way to show the whole scenery. That way, it could make the viewer more interested in what’s in the actual trees, nd would tend to keep there eyes on the image.
