Project 24: shapes

I liked the contrast between the over cast sky and the side of the shed.

For this photograph I played around the angle a bit. I also like shape of it, Its like a shape within a shape, with the holes around the side of it.

Project 22: curves

For this project you had to take some photographs of curved lines.

The path curves up to the bus stop in the distance.

Both walls curve through under way.

I like how the stones taper off to the left.

I took this photograph for the curve in the road. I noticed later curves in the pat and the grass bank.

Project 21: diagonals

The tree stumps go in a diagonal direction.

The wall and the rail illustrates diagonals.

There are many diagonals in this floor.

For this photograph I was taking the roofs of the mill to illustrate diagonals. when I was processing my photograph I also noticed the diagonal in the road markings.

I set up this shoot by adding one item at a time to the photograph. This was to show off the multiple points. The final photograph shows all the multiple points and where they are in relationship to each other.

Project 18: relationship between points

I went for the number to demonstrate the relationship betweem point. This was because the numbers aer at different hights.

The cups in this photograph demonstrates the relationship between the points.

I poision the chairs like this because, I think it show a clear relationship between of ponits.

Project 16: defining a point

you are asked to jot down, as many types of situation that would make a clear photograph of a point.

A lady bird on a flower
Pollen in the center of a flower
A bird on a tree
A bird in flight
A dog in the middle of a large field
Some butter cups in a large are of grass

Light that creates a point.
Light that comes through a opening in a door
A full moon
Some one using a torch

These are some example of a photograph that creates a clear point.

1st photograph

The butter cups create a clear point in the photograph.

2nd photograph

The boat near the wall creates a clear point in the photograph.

3rd photograph

The leaf in the water creates a clear point in the photograph.
