Which areas appear clearest or sharpest in the photograph? Which do not?
Which areas of the photograph are brightest? Are there any shadows? Does the photograph allow you to guess the time of day? Is the light natural or artificial? Harsh or soft? Reflected or direct? Are there objects in the photograph that act as lines? Are they straight, curvy, thin, thick? Do the lines create direction in the photograph? Do they outline? Do the lines show movement or energy? Are there any objects, shapes or lines which repeat and create a pattern? Do you see geometric (straight edged) or organic (curvy) shapes? Which are they? Is there depth to the photograph or does it seem shallow? What creates this appearance? Are there important negative (empty) spaces in addition to positive (solid) spaces? Is there depth created by spatial illusions i.e. perspective? If you could touch the surface of the photograph how would it feel? How do the objects in the picture look like they would feel? Is there a range of tones from dark to light? Where is the darkest value? Where is the lightest? |
For these photos i decided to focus on lines and details.

FOCUS.
In the photos above we was practicing with the focus lens, how to take pictures focusing on one or more things. On some of the images i chose to un-focus it to give more effect and to sort of blur it out.
My image.
I think this image worked out better then i thought it would. I selected two images i took and cut diagonal lines through the face on one, then cut strips from the second one. After i had lined the strips in order, i started to weave them through the first image. Once i had finished, i scanned it onto the computer, i opened it in an app called 'camera back' . There i edited and added an effect, i also put it in a frame. At that point it was ready to be uploaded onto my website.
I could improve this images by maybe using different photos or a different effect. I could even maybe do something new with the images, like cut them out in a different way.

This is my second try with abstract images. For the first images, i took a picture of tommy using a cannon camera and printed it, then i cut out shapes. I tried to make it as symmetrical as i could. i printed out a separate image of an abstract themed pattern, and stuck it behind my first image. For the second image, i got a photo of audrey and started folding and making dents, i left the folds in to shift around the face.
I could try to take photographs of someone doing something different, instead of just standing on the spot. i could also maybe add an effect to the images to give more effect to the photograph.

1.For this photo i had the idea of landscapes. . i took some photographs of trees and chose the one i liked best. Then i uploaded it to photoshop, selected the shape tool and made the shape transparent when i had placed it in the position i wanted it in.
2. I used the same photograph for this picture but i decided to mirror the photo, not once, but twice. so there is more trees then there is in the original photograph.
I also printed the photo out big and folded it in half, i then got some blue ink and spread it out down the middle of the photo. I folded it on the fold line and pushed down gently, then i opened it to reveal a symmetry pattern.
