falling picture

I took these pictures of a mardi gras necklace on my back porch at around 4:00pm. I place my camera on top of a book so that it would remain steady. I dropped the necklace and tried to capture it in midair. Our assignment was to take a picture of a moving object so I decided to use a necklace because I figured it would be able to show flow and the motion of falling down best. These pictures show movement / rhythm because the necklace is in the process of falling. Emphasis is also apparent because the only object in each picture is the necklace and the necklace is in the center.

kitchen picture

I took a picture of a strainer in my kitchen at around 5:00pm on sunday evening. I used the macro setting on my camera so that I could get really close to the camera without losing much detail. I then went on photoshop and tried to blur out parts of the image so that it was focused on only a section of the image. Our assignment was to take a picture of either a bathroom product or a kitchen product, so I picked a ktchen product. I wanted to take a picture of something that others would have a hard time figuring out what it is. Not to be mean or anything......but because it makes the picture cooler if someone has no idea what it is. This picture shows asymmetry because the point at which the metal poles touch lies on a third line. This also shows emphasis because I kept one portion of the image in focus, while the rest was blurred.

still life

Our assignment was to pick a quote and take a picture that captyres the essence of that quote. I decided to use a quote from Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from "The Muppets Show" episode #2.12 (1977). For the picture of this quote, I went down to the science lab in russell and took out some beakers and took a picture of them. I took this picture at around 7:40am. I layed out 10 beakers and put them in a pyramidal figure. I then put my camera on the macro setting so that I could get close to the objects while not losing detail. This picture shows unity because the individual beakers come together to form one image. It also shows shape and form because the beackers are in a pyramidal figure and each individual beacker is a rectangular shape.

ZOOOOOOOOO - pop art

okay so the picture just WONT load.....so im gonna try and put it up later.....but for now i'll just do my write up. I took a picture of a flamingo at the sf zoo at around 11:30. I took one picture of the flamingo and photoshoped it with different colors. I placed all six different colored images next to each other in photoshop.....and made my pop art image. I wanted to make pop art because I wanted to show all the different ways one can portray a single image. This photo shows color because each image is different. It also shows unity because each section of the photo comes together to make a single image.

ZOOOOOOOOO - my choice 2

I took this picture of a penguin at the sf zoo while he was swimming at around 12:00pm. I took this picture by zooming in on the penguin so as to not get all the other penguins around him. I took this picture because he looked so natural. This picture shows emphasis because he is in the center. This picture also shows color becuase of the green, black, and white.

ZOOOOOOOOO - my choice 1

I took this picture of a hamster at the sf zoo in the children zoo section at around 12:00. I took this picture by kneeling down and zooming in on the hamster. I took this picture because I thought it was very cute! This picture shows assymetry because he lies on a third line. It also shows emphasis because he is the only thing in the photo and is also in the center.

ZOOOOOOOOO - formal

I took this picture of a lion in his habitat at the sf zoo at around 11:30am. I took this photo by zooming in the window so as to not get so many objects in the shot. I took this picture because he was just looking right at me.....so I mostly got him in the shot. This shows emphasis because the lion is the largest thing in the photo. This also shows color because of the green and the brown.
