Fall Photos

 This photo was taken at the Calvary Chapel Bible College. It is beside the lake, following the path that leads to South Campus. The time of day it was taken was about 3:00 P.M.. This photo was shot using the 'Leading Lines' technique.

     I think that this picture immediately sparks interest. The path hooks the viewer's attention, and leads he or she through the picture. The eye consumes all of the different buildings and trees in the photo. The autumn-colored leaves produce much more interest than the usual green.
     This is probably my favorite photo that I have taken thus far. I could not of chosen a better time during the year to take this.  I am well pleased with its colors, composition, and creativity.



This photo has been taken using the repetition technique. The repetition in this photo is the congruent square stone tiles. The angle that this photo is taken from makes it so much more interesting.

Action Shots II

     This picture that I took is an "action-shot;" meaning that it is a photo taken in action. As you can see, the photo is taken using the rule of thirds. This picture was taken at the soccer field. The time of day it was taken was about 2:45  P.M..
     With this picture I was trying to capture a feeling of fun. The soccer ball in the picture is seen before the leg and foot, adding more to the element of action.  The viewer wants to see the ball fly completely in the air.  
     I think that I captured the feeling of action and amusement in this picture rather well. After rapidly taking several shots of this scene, I feel that I chose the best one. I definitely like this photo I took. I would say this photo came out the way I expected to.

These pictures are also taken using the action shot technique. The "action" is the blades of the fan rotating. The black and white appearance increases the sharpness of the photo.

 

Action Shots

     This picture that I took is an "action-shot;" meaning that it is a photo taken in action. This picture was taken in my neighborhood. It is taken from the point a point of view to where you are lead out of the cul-de-sac. The time of day it was taken was about 7:00  P.M..

     With this picture I was trying to capture a feeling of excitement. The tennis ball in the picture immediately catches the viewer's attention. You can see it quickly soaring through the air. It makes the viewer wonder where it will finally land at.    
     I think that I thoroughly captured the feeling of excitement and interest in this picture. I am sure that the viewer will be able to feel it as well.  This is one of the most difficult pictures I have shot; it definitely came out better than I expected.

    


 This photo is also an action-shot. The "action" in this photo is the milk being poured into the glass. As you can see, this photo is also taken using a vertical viewpoint.

My Artist's Statement

     This picture was taken at my house. It is in the front yard, near the garden. The time of day it was taken was about 7:30  P.M..
     With this picture I was trying to capture a feeling of a job well done. As you can see from the long shadows, it is later in the day. You can see the paint bucket closed and lying on the sidewalk. Also, the brush lies on top of the bucket, insinuating that the job of painting is over.
     I feel that I captured this feeling rather well. I expect that the viewer will see it in the same way as well. This is my favorite of all the photos I have shot; it came out exactly as I expected it to. 

Repetition

The repetition in this photo are the blocks in the wall. Each block is congruent with one another; creating a pattern. The shoes in the picture merely serve as something to make the photo look a bit more interesting.

The repetition in this photo is the coffee mugs. Each coffee mug is exactly the same,  but each is placed in a row that seems to lead you across the picture. Also, some variation is added to this photo, as the adjacent coasters are different from one another.

Framing

The main focus of this picture is the paint bucket and brush. The ladder in this picture is the frame. The ladder seems to "frames" the paint bucket and brush.

The main focus of this picture is the newspaper. The mailbox in this picture is the"frame." The mailbox serves as a "frame" for the newspaper.

Leading lines

The leading line in this picture is the 'curb' on the wall to the right. The 'curb' leads the viewer to the van on the upper left.

The leading line of this picture is the monkey bars. These lead you through the picture, from beginning to end.
