ASSIGNMENT 1 CONTRASTS

CONTRASTS - Gillian Ball 413218

www.gillballphotography.blogspot.co.uk

I have learnt a lot through this chapter of the course, especially about me and my photography. I have gained a greater understanding of aperture and shutter speeds and how these can change the entire feel of a photo.

I found this assignment paticually challenging as I can't look at inanimate objects and see them as a photo. I am all about capturing emotion and memories. I can stand at the back of a room and just keep my distance and see photographs emerging, i.e. fun, arguments, older ones teaching younger ones. I guess what im saying is to me inanimate objects in images are just images, however I have started to look at them differently and hopefully I can continue to learn more and more.

I have found this challenging but I have also enjoyed it. I hope I have captured the images correctly to how this assignment calls for them.


ROUNDED/ DIAGONAL

This is a fun piece of art in natural stone carved to perfection and having a tiny boys face smiling and looking pleased for himself brings out the fun.



The branch is coming out of the water is at a a diagonal and the three turtles emphasises this.


LIQUID/SOLID


Water is ultimate liquid. I like this photo as it shoes the bubbles and ripples that water creates.




This sculpture is crafted from an old tree, therefore to me not only is it visually solid, it is also a solid structure as the roots are still in the ground.

LIGHT/DARK

This cave, with the way the sun is beaming through the cracks and giving the coloured ray as it bounces off the rocks on the way through, portraits the contrast perfectly.
It shows the darkness on the inside and the light of the sun onthe outside peaking in.



LARGE/SMALL

The mummy and baby elephant visibly portrait the contrast of 'large and small'


ROUGH/SMOOTH

The rounded section of this tree portraits the smooth, and with the rough bark around the edges this really stands out.



STRAIGHT/CURVED

These trees were all pointing in the same direction, straight up. I dont think there was one out of place.


The two paths lead to the same place. They both show in perfect symetry the natural curve of the river.

WHITE/BLACK

This tree had white bark with very dark chunks missing. I liked the charctor of this tree and its difference to all the others. I changed the image to black and white to emphasise the contrast and I like the final result.


MANY/FEW

The almonds shows the contrast 'many' because there are many of them.



The babys foot against her fathers fingers really suggests how little this girl is.

THE ULTIMATE CONTRAST


This picture shows many contrasts some from the list and some new ones. I feel it shows stregnth and weakness, because of the father and son and having the roles reversed emphasises this. Black and white, Also colour and greyscale. Young and old are also present.
