This photo was taken in an intersection of paths where people would frequently walk at any given minute. In the distance, another intersection occurs between this central path and the one seen just above it, to the left. With people seen under the shade of trees, I figured their distant size would give a good indicator of how far back the path goes. I also just wanted to capture the symmetry of college campus layouts as looking attractive and beautiful with the rest of the scenery.

In an overpass, this interesting design is laid on the tile walls. A closer look also shows curious cracks and chips in the tiles. I took this shot because of the variety of colors standing out from the otherwise bleak concrete. I think taking the photo with the bright light at the end reflecting on the farther tiles helps the design seem like it extends down far. I do think it would have worked better with a black darkness in the distance though.

This sight was astounding to me just in terms of how clear the lines point to the vanishing point while set against a gorgeous sky. I wanted to bring a regularly lesser-trod part of Provo to light by showing how it can be visually complex and unique. This borders a very old building, and I think the visible grime and rust on the closer parts of the fence communicate that well. Comparing that to the rest of the relatively clean environment shows that it has character.
Spencer, well done! I like the first photo a lot. The wide lens really does a lot of favors for you. The second photo works well, but I agree that the bright end of the tunnel in this case makes the image flatten just a bit. I wonder what it'd have looked like if shot from the other side of the tunnel (probably similar, but maybe less bright?). I also struggled with bright backgrounds on my photos this week. The last one is very strong, not just because of the fence, but also the line of trees and the road! Think it may have helped to have positioned the camera even lower to the ground to cut out the sky more (the sky is always flat) and accentuate the lines of the side walk and fence more. But all three of these are very deep man! :) Way to go!
ReplyDeleteSpencer, great use of converging lines in all the photos, very nicely done
