I really enjoyed this photo and I think its visually engaging because of the single leaf that stood out against the dark color of the tree. I would consider the lead to be apart of the Rules of Thirds grid because its located in the intersection. Furthermore, since the leaf is not directly in the center and is the only leaf featured I feel it gives the photo more interest and something beautiful to look at.
Urban Jungle
Spending the day at Brooklyn bridge park and shooting photographs was an eye awakening experience. I can see why Photographers love taking pictures in unusual places on a consistent bases.For,this piece that I’ve taken something that spoke to screamed an “urban jungle”to me with all the trees and grass accumulation about the area,but what also stood out amongst that is the street art that takes shape of the leafs which made it a good composition. The idea that I Had in mind was a black and white photo because details started to take form and creates the mood of tranquility which was what I was going for. I really like the photo and I hope you do too.
When taking pictures at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, my favorite photo that I took was the picture of the fly. The visual qualities of this photo was the focus was very clear. Meaning all eyes was meant to be on the fly. This photo as you can see is an example of off balanced and symmetrical photography. What caught my attention the most about this photo the focus of the element. The background is blurry but the center of the photo is not. Another thing I enjoyed about this photo was the shape of what the fly was standing on. The oval shape makes the photo interesting.
This photo was taken by me (Elijah Lugo) at the Brooklyn Bridge park/Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass also known as D.U.M.B.O. Many elements are seen but the main one that is obvious is a frame within a frame. The photo was taken at an angle and with the word YO facing Brooklyn and OY when facing Manhattan. The lighting and mood that the photo conveys to me is a pleasant calm mood. But hopefully the audience may visualize this photo as a professional one although this photo was most likely taken at this angle several times by other people/photographers.
I think that this is my best photo because the subject is in greater focus then the background. I was also able get a great amount of detail in the leaves and steam. It was an amazing amount of detail and clarity.
This photo was the most interesting that I took. I really liked how the oblique angle made the image look like it should be shifting down. It has a great dynamic and gives the photo the feeling of frozen in time.
This is a photo called “Brooklyn Bridge, Study 4, New York City, USA, 2000” which was caught by Michael Kenna. Michael Kenna is an English photographer who is known best for his black and white, unusual, landscapes with ethereal light achieved by photographing at dawn or at night with exposures of up to 10 hours. The image is taken on an empty Brooklyn bridge in black and white and makes the viewer think a little longer on his intention with this piece of artwork. I believe that Michael Kenna’s intention with this image is to make people think of life as a never-ending bridge. That is due to how the bride seems to not have any ending. The mood or feeling that this image is tense. That is because the bridge gives the appearance of it being never-ending. The “Brooklyn Bridge, Study 4, New York City, USA, 2000” by Michael Kenna contains three of the nine formal elements, and those are Leading Lines, Diagonals, and Symmetry.
Leading Lines are one of the most effective and under-utilized compositional tools available to photographers. They’re used to draw a viewer’s attention to a specific part of the frame, whether it’s a person, or a vanishing point in the background of the frame. This is very clearly seen where the two corners of the bridge move to the center of the photograph. Diagonals are a slanting straight pattern or line. Which can be seen in the support wires that hold up the bridge. Symmetry the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis or exact correspondence between different things. Which can be seen if the image is folded or cut in half, and the two pieces will be identical to each other. These three formal elements are prefect to analyze this image.
I think this is a beatiful successful Low angle shot.I think it works well because of the way it was taken. This shot was taken from an unusual point of view which is why I thought it was mostly interesting and it admires natur for its beauty.
This picture was an excellent example of frame on a frame. The color of the letters in the picture was very bright because of the sunlight. When standing near the picture at a weather like this, it feels so good and its a good place to travel to during the summer. This picture was taken at a good angle.
This photograph was taken by me and my partner and its basically a low angle symmetrical photo of a chair. I really enjoyed this picture out of the five pictures my partner and I have chosen because its clear on whats the focus. To me, the position that the chair is on makes it stand out even more. What also caught my attention was the lightening of the chair. To me I see a pattern in the lighting of the chair. As you can see the top of the chair has light and as you go down it gets dark then it goes back to light then back to dark again. I found that interesting because a lot of photos you would see don’t have different lighting. One last reason why this photo fascinated me was because its the most dominate item amongs its surrounding. That’s another reason why this photo stands out more.
