TMA 285: Photos, Week 14

Sunday
I really love the lines at work on the bottom. The whole landscape's features were stretched by my moving car and now it's like a simple painting. The top portion of the picture is also very minimal in detail. I like how the middle third is the most refined - the eye is immediately drawn to it. I wish there was a brighter, more colorful spot on that horizon or in the sky to give it more variety.

This deep space in this shot is helped by the line of the roadside and the car lights in the distance. I wanted to show the dark sections where cars' lights were turned off to convey the slight hopelessness toward the traffic jam for the people in them. It would have been nicer if my camera were to focus on the vanishing point better.

Wednesday
A very special occasion happened in our family and what better way to remember than with Martinelli's? In the spring of the moment, I wanted to capture the pouring rush of the drink into the glasses. I love how here, the dark red stream contrasts with the bright fizz of the filled glasses behind it. I also like the texture of the smooth round circular glass edges making their own depth cue.

  1. I like all the horizontal lines in this first image. I also like how simple this image is - i sort of wish this was all blurred out like the bottom half. I like how deep the space is in your second middle image. I also like how spotty it is. The patterns of high key and low key spots are really interesting. Your last image is interesting. I would have liked it more though if your shutter speed was faster so the juice was completely frozen.

  2. I like the use of color in your first image. The colors are quite desaturated, but this isn't artificial due to the coloring--it's simply due to the content. However, there is a nice divide between the blue of the top part of the image and the green part on the bottom. This use of color creates a nice mood.

    This photo is interesting because it has an interesting lighting set up. Some parts are overexposed while some are underexposed, so the portion of the image that we get in detail is very limited. However, we are still able to make out what the image is about just fine because of the reflection of the road and the way the light is able to rim some of the cars.

    I agree, the most interesting part of this image is the tonal contrast between the juice and the fizz. Other than that, though, I think there are a few things you could have done to improve the composition. For instance, I'm not sure what the person or the black things are doing in the background. However, I do like the tonal contrast.
