evaluation of exhibition photos

The subject of this image is a medium shot of buildings that are in disrepair.  This photo uses various lines and different shapes. These elements helps draw the viewers attention to certain areas in the image.  The lack of bright colours and the tarnishes on the building makes this photo suitable for my chosen category of buildings in disrepair.  The different shapes seen in this image our the many rocks that are placed in a vertical lines in front of the building.  This image also uses the rule of thirds as it is focused to the left hand side of the image.  Using this technique immediately draws the viewers eyes the object that is placed to the left hand side.  As I took the image at a certain angle, It makes the building and its surroundings look longer and further away.  I think that this photo could be improved by taking the photo when it is dark with some lights on to further empathise the run down state of the building.  Some class mates have viewed this image and agree that to improve this photo I should use different lighting, they also suggested that I should use a different shot for example a close up, which will help pronounce the disrepair  and rundown state of the building.

The subject of this image is a medium shot of a building that is in disrepair.  Similarly to my image, this photo uses dull colours and a good use of lines.  The cracks in the stone which is seen in the staircase leading to the building, and the damp surrounding the windows, showcases the rundown state of this building and clearly shows a state of disrepair.  I like how this image was taken at an angle because it gives a different perspective on the image but it also creates the illusion that the building is longer  and further away, similar to the photo that I took.  In conclusion I feel that this image is a good example of a medium shot however I feel that it could use a rule of thirds as it will show more of the surroundings.

Evaluation

The subject of this photo is a medium portrait shot of friends. This photo includes a good use of lines; which helps draw the viewers eyes in certain areas of the photo, and a range of colours.  This photo has a meaning to me as it includes me and one of my friends.  I also like the way that it was taken at an angle because it creates an illusion that we are sitting at an angle when reality we are not.  elements that make this photo work are the many use of lines and the angle of which the photo was taken as it is a different example of a usual portrait.  The bright colours used in the backdrop helps the people which are the main focus of the image to stand out more.  It also helps that they are wearing contrasting colours.  This photo could be improved by zooming in more on the faces and I feel that perhaps the colours in the backdrop could be brighter.  People have viewed this photo and think that it is a creative and different take on a portrait however could use the rule of thirds as they feel that the photo is too central.               professional photograph

The subject of this image is a close up shot of two people leaning against a railing.  This photo uses a varied use of different bright colours and similarly to my photo above uses some use of lines which focuses the viewers eyes on a certain area of the image.  Differently to my photo, the photographer has taken a more traditional take on a portrait as the image focuses on the peoples waste and upwards.  Also the image is focused more to the right hand side which is using the rule of thirds, which is a good technique to use as it helps focus the viewers eyes on the whole picture rather than different areas.  Also as it is a close up there isn't much to look at so the part that you want to be the main focus stands out.  I like this image as in contrast to the people the background uses a plain light blue.  This helps the people stand out and be the main focus if the image.  in conclusion

evaluation of nature photos

 The subject of this photo is a close up image of a leafy plant, which is differently coloured.  This photo was taken because it uses bright colours and I thought that it would fit relevantly in to the category of the concept of plants.  As the colour red is only used in one part of the photo, it makes it more bold and stand out more, rather than green being the main focus of the image.  If you look closely you can see droplets of water on the leafs which brings texture to the photo.  I feel that this photo could be improved by focusing more on a little section of the plant in contrast to a larger area of it.  This would help focus the eye on the actual plant rather than the surroundings.  Some people like this photo due to the red colour in the middle section however they would like it more if the image fitted with the rule of thirds. 

the subject of this photo is a leafy plant similarly to my photo is coloured with reds and greens.  differently this photo focuses more on its surroundings rather to the plant itself.  I like this photo as it uses different objects such as rocks which are placed behind the plant which adds more interest to the photo.  I also like the way it uses different textures such as rough  and smooth which are featured in the large rocks and some of the leaves in the bottom right corner.  This photo features a variety of lines and bright colours which helps give this photo a sense of character.  I feel that this is a good example of a close up because it uses lots of colours, lines and textures which all should be included in any image.

close up images 2

This image follows the rule of thirds as it is focused to the right hand side.  The background of this image is blurred which helps the rhino stand out more, as it is the main focus of the image. The tree in this image uses texture as the tree looks bumpy and rough. 

close up images

This photo does fit in with the rule of thirds because the main focus of the image is placed to the right.  This image showcases bright and vibrant colours which helps exaggerate the detail on the flower, which uses various sizes of lines. 
                                        


This photo is a good example of a closeup as the back round is blurred which helps the flower still be the main focus of the image.
Like the photo above, this image also fits in with the rule of thirds as it is focused to the left hand side.  Similarly this photo also uses bright colours.

This is a long shot view of the school which we  decided to take behind a window with definite  lines.  This is a good idea because the lines separate the photo so it looks like there is more than there actually is.

rule of thirds

This is the original image that I will later crop to make it work with the rule of thirds, which will give this picture a better frame. As shown, this photo does not fit in with the rule of thirds because it is placed to much in the center.








I have used the cropping tool on Photoshop so the image is focused more on the left hand side of the image.  This showcases the rule of thirds because the main part of the image isn't in the center.
