We had our second assignment in Photo J. this week called "Start Snapping". With the new techniques we learned in class, we had to take two photos that apply to the following rules: bird's eye view, worm's eye view, rule of thirds, fill the frame, framing, leading lines, and repetition. I picked my favorite three photos to share on my blog.
This is my freshman friend, Megan Laughlin. She was my basic inspiration for this particular assignment. The technique used in the above picture is fill the frame. I closed up on Megan and her tennis partner. I like this photo a lot because of the perfect sports effect, positioning of the ball, and the positions of the striking-Megan and her ready-to-recieve partner.
Once again, we are drawn to the intense emotion of Megan. The technique used is rule of thirds where I placed her in the left third of the picture and replaced the rest of the space with the tennis courts. I enjoy this photo very much because it really captures the effect of Megan's poor playing that day on her facial expression. It reveals the stress of tennis on a person.
Drawing away from the main focus of Megan, I used a great technique called worm's eye view. This is taking the focus of a picture from the point of view of a worm (from the ground up). I think this is such a cool picture because it's seeing the world from a different view. Looking at a tree this way shows how powerful it actually is, but also looking close into the tiny details it contains.
