2. The composition of this photograph works well
with leading lines directing the eye to the
waterfall.
Macro shots work well with capturing
intense detail and vibrancy. It also
includes the technique of reflection.
The income of natural light helps to illuminate the
contrast of colours and overall gives a bright shot
with more light being let into the lens.
Intense colours work better against
neutral tones to add drama and life to
a shot. It also helps define shadows
and depth.
3. A wide aperture shot using a slow shutter speed
allows the water to give a misty effect whilst
coming from the water fall.
Black and white photography brings out more
definition in texture on objects such as flowers etc.
They are more classic and contemporary to observe.
Very fast shutter speeds of water being
splashed can create interesting shapes
and illusions that give dynamic effects
relating to discovery.
4. Macro imagery works very effectively with showing
texture and detail in extremely up-close images. This
particular image of a strand of rope is very high in
vibrancy and intensity to show the textures and shapes in
which the rope is intertwined. It also works especially
well with fast shutter speed but would require a lot of
lighting e.g. light boxes/flash – to not black out the image
and the detail be subdued.
The methods of macro photography I am particularly
interested in is taking photographs of moving water using
a tripod and a fast shutter speed e.g. a fountain or heavy
rain.
Another example of macro photography I am interested in
is still water droplets on objects within nature, as these
provide a short amount of reflection and help to make a
photograph more dynamic.
5. Aerial views are a good way of demonstrating closer views of
space, especially at night, where patterns and shapes can be created via
lighting, almost like veins in the human body.
Working with a mixture of angles and
compositions to show length and depth.
E.g. weather, sunlight and moonlight.
Using additional props helps to distinguish the theme and it’s
meaning, it also works well at bringing character to an image.
Using a low aperture allows the camera to look for natural
light sources, which lets more light in to demonstrate texture
and dimension of clouds.
