“Through the table top”
The first photograph “Through the table top” was taken at the University of Wyoming’s Conservatory. The photo uses symmetry and patterns first and foremost. Because I took the snapshot near to the table the swirls in the counter are highlighted. It’s much more pleasing than if it was a meek wide shot of the table. It is pleasing to look at the designs on the table, but after you see that, you notice the white chair below as well at the green plant. The photo also has color and depth of field in its creative devices.
“The Color Condo”
This photo with enjoyable hue and obscurities was taken on the north side of Laramie in a nice neighborhood by the High School. The Photograph was intended to use the creative device of color, as the different colors in each of the buildings balance together well. The photo also uses the rule of thirds device, as the bottom of the photo is where all the action is at.
“Vandal Park”
“Vandal Park” was taken at the skate park north of town. the creative device envisioned for this photo was depth of field, as the first thing you see is the up-close graffiti barrier followed by the park behind it. This photo also used color, framing and leading lines. The color works well, as the wall is vibrant while the park is not. Leading lines is shown by the shadows, sidewalk and graffiti.
“Succulent Central”
Succulent Central was intended to show Framing as the vase that the plant is in clearly borders the plant in the photo, though this picture has most every other creative device in it. This photo has color with the rocks, leading lines with the chicken wire counter and depth of field as first you see the flower, then the rocks followed by the table.
“Alluring Aurora”
“Alluring Aurora” was taken outside of my bedroom window one morning before class. This photo shows rule of thirds as the trees take up the bottom and right parts of the photo and the sky takes up the rest. Color is another device that this picture uses as the sunrise is full of it.
This class assignment was very enjoyable, and I was rather surprised by how hard it was. Taking a pleasant photo is a lot harder than one would think. I was also amazed by how much fun I had doing this project and how much I learned by doing so. I wish I would have prepared more when shooting my photos. I kind of just took photos whenever I saw something that looked interesting through out the week, but I wish I would have set hours and hours of time to just taking photos.
