The picture that I find to be successful within the album was this Radical Cropping of the chair. The picture is interesting because of the different lighting, the top of the picture is brighter where the bottom of the picture is dark. In the background is more of a blue while the chair itself is very focus/sharp.

The picture that i like the most out of the pictures that ive taken is the frame cropped image of the chair. I feel that this photo has a good use of negative and positive space. as well as the emphasized texture on the chair. also with it being cut off at an angle it makes you wonder whats going on with the rest of the chair.

What type of photograph is it?
This photograph is an artistic photograph, because it clearly shows the people around NYC’s Iron Fold Building.
What can you tell (or guess) about the photographer’s intention?
I guess that the photo shows that the people of New York make the city so great not the buildings that can be found there.
What emphasis has the photographer created and how has that been done?
The photographer creates emphasis on the people by using selective focus on them.
Do technical matters help or hinder the image?
Technical matters help the photo because the photo is of everything not anything specific amongst the crowd that is there.
Are graphic elements important, such as tone, line, or perspective?
Yes they are important; the first thing I saw was the perspective that is made from the Iron Fold building.
What else does the photographer reveal besides what is immediately evident?
He reveals the cultural diversity of New York City.
What emotional or physical impact does the photograph have?
This photo makes your eyes widen with the deep perspective and then it brings you back with selective focus on the people.
How does this photograph relate to others made by the same photographer, in the same period, or of the same subject matter?
This photographer takes photos of New York’s greatest views from all over and this is another that captures the Flat Iron Building.

I am really enjoying our class today  and learning about camera operation. I think we took many great  and successful pictures. Playing with lighting  ,viewpoint, line and texture even plain and boring chair can look attractive. This is one my favorite picture. We chose low-angel viewpoint that  made chair stand up.  Light comes from subject and gave mysterious look.

The most successful picture I took today was the wooden texture. It’s a simple extreme close-up of an old stool, but it’s so chaotic and it works really well. There are a lot of different colors present, and even the parts of the wood that aren’t scratched up appear to be of different tones. On this thumbnail, the differences in color are what stand out the most, but on the full-size version you can really see how deep the scratches are and just how damaged the stool really is. Seriously, how did this thing end up so damaged in the first place?
In any case, I just found my new wallpaper.

My favorite picture that I took today is the oblique angle. Â I like this picture because the chair looks like it is about to roll away, the shadow and the lighting help this illusion. Â When I look at it, it makes me think that it is on a ship, and that ship has hit rough seas and/or is about to sink.
I’m often confused with the term oblique, as long as I remember that oblique means diagonal, I’ll be fine.

The picture I like the best that I took was the one with a lot of black background and a small part of the chair. I think this picture is successful because it looks good and it has negative space in it.
Also its eye catching, it has all this black background and at a corner a small chair thats grey. It’s interesting.
Today in class I have learned a lot, I have learned about viewpoint, space and perspective, line, Â balance and lighting. It was an interesting experience.

The most successful picture I took today was this picture that was part of a stool that we used. My group decided to use the stool in an angle to create a different effect, rather than just keeping the stool in the same position. We used a light to create shadows on the legs of the stool. In the end an interesting shadow appeared, along with small light spots throughout the stool legs.

Today in class we had our first shooting, and it was really exciting seeing all the different results that came out. One of the pictures I took that I liked the most was the one that we used for shallow depth. It has the end of the stool centered and, then rest of the picture is blurred; by doing this it is also hard to tell it is a stool right away. Also, one of the things that I liked about the picture was the way the light hit the stool and it creates a nice contrast between the highlights and the rest of the stool.
