Assignment 2

For this Assignment, i had to take 10 - 15 photographs of a certain subject group showing different effects stated.

My chosen subject group is flowers and plants.

Single point dominating the frame

Here i took a photograph of a single daffodil rising out of the grass. I like the contrast between the white and the grey in this picture, as it really draws the attention to the center of the frame. It also, i feel, gives it a some what soft and tranquil feel.

Two points

For this photograph i picked two fallen logs as my two points, close together i positioned them in the center of the frame. I wanted to capture the bed of leaves they look so comfortably wrapped in, and so positioned the logs at the top of the frame to get the in perspective.

Several points in a deliberate shape

Here i used the petals of a flower to form a deliberate shape. The shape is quite abstract, but a similar shape to what it would be if the flower was whole. I tried to almost recreate the shape of the flower on a surface.

Curves

Here, i took a close up photograph of the curved edges of a metal wheel.

Distinct, even if irregular, shapes

The center of this flower is a circle, and the petals around it, form another, larger circle. It is a very obvious circular shape.

I found part of a tree standing alone in the woods, forming a very strange, yet obvious triangular shape when viewed from the side.

Diagonal

The ropes on the bridge here, create two sets of diagonal lines.

 Pattern

Rhythm

The rhythm in this photograph works horizontally across the frame,  via the tree top and the first row of lamp posts, there is also a rhythm going diagonally towards the centre/ back of the photograph, through the rows of lamp posts.

Horizontal lines

A horizontal line is created across the bottom part of the frame by the stack of logs going across the photograph.

 Triangles

From the position this photograph was taken, an upside down triangle can be created through the gaps in the two large branches/trunks at the front of the frame

Looking front on at the bud of a lily flower, a triangle can be created with the petals.

Here i arranged some flowers in a vase to form  down triangle.

 Vertical Lines

A single vertical line is created from the stem of a small plant. Very simplistic.
