Depth and Space
My out of class photos I took on vacation in New Hampshire and in Boston. The first two where taken of the road at night and the other was of a bridge. My bridge picture focuses on foreground, middleground, and background. My first picture of the road is of leading lines because the lines in the road lead back into the picture. The other photo is focused on framing because a part of the car is along the bottom of the picture . My photos have a large depth of field and have a lot of space.
Depth of Field and Aperture
For my set of pictures I took photos of a red phone. I used a small aperture for my shallow depth of field and a large aperture for my large depth of field. In my photos I used an f stop of 4. To change what was in focus I moved the aperture ring left or right. My photo with the focus up front on the phone is the best because it goes from clear to blurry as it goes back. You would want to use a shallow depth of field if you want one specific thing in your photo to be in focus. If you are taking a picture of a land scape then a larger depth of field would be better.
Refection
My picture is of a river which represents reflection. It has the rule of thirds where the picture is sectioned into three areas horizontally. The point of view I took the picture from was straight on. I used my iPhone to take the picture and turned off the flash.
Alex MacLean
This image of a beach by Alex MacLean is taken from an overhead view. The photograph is asymmetrically balanced and it meets the guidelines of the rule of thirds. There isn't a clear focal point because the focus isn't just on one thing. The image is vertical because of the grey line cutting through the top and bottom of it. I think it is effective in this direction because if it was horizontal it wouldn't have the same effect. I chose this picture because the birds eye view is a different perspective that people aren't use to seeing. I liked it because it seems like everyone on the beach is miniature but in reality the beach they are on is huge.
Seascape and Landscape
This landscape image is of sand dunes. It was taken at eye level and has a large depth of field. It can be sectioned into three sections the sky as the top , the hill as the middle, and the sand as the bottom. Also, the prints in the sand create texture.
