I just let the stress melt away, i don't know, somehow stress doesn't affect me for long. I am like 76% sure that I'm a sociopath. Or maybe I'm just a relaxed person.

Africa Powerpoint, Purpose Of Photography

Wow, this is a truly beautiful powerpoint, it is simply majestic scenery, these are moving images

This picture makes the lion look like a true king of Africa. He looks absolutely majestic. This picture is my favorite because it gives me a sense of raw, untamed power.

The rule used here is simplicity, the sole subject of this picture is the lion.

The photographer, Nick Brandt uses a He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses.

Frustrated that he could not capture on film his feelings about and love for animals, he realized there was a way to achieve this through photography, in a way that he felt no-one had really done before.

" I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are." said Nick

 "Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes " he continued

Academic Shoot Reflection

1. The challenge I encountered was getting good timing for each subject.

2. The hardest technical aspect of photography was holding the camera still, i overcame this difficulty by breathing out as I took the picture. 

3.  I would have better focus on my subject.

4.  I would have the same subjects.

5. Rule of Thirds

6. Simplicity

7. Balance, I would ask the teacher.

Elements Of Art

  Elements Of Art

Lines- are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

 Shapes- are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

 Color- wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.

Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.

  Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

 Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

 Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. 

 Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.
Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eyes to certain areas. It is used to make a pairing look interesting.

Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance.  An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition. 

Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.

The elements of art is present in this picture because it shows many of the crucial elements.

This picture has elements such as contrast, value, texture and many others.
