Hey I thought I might leave a comment on everyone's image posts to start the conversation critiques a little more so that maybe we will talk more in class... feel free to comment on my work also so if I say something that upsets you, you can take it out on my work!
Runnan-- Your photographs this week were really different from the past weeks photographs. Its really nice to see you trying different things. Are you still looking to photograph people living in harmony with the landscape? I think your most successful images this week were images 2 and 3. Photographing them at night made them stand out. The layered leaves created really beautiful shadows, specifically toward the right darker side of the images. The way you captured the movement of the falling leaves was also really nice. You were able to capture the streak of the leaf falling but you could still see the outline of the leaf within that streak so you are really able to tell what that streak is. It added some interest to image to that made want to keep looking. It wasn't a red smudge that was in the way of seeing the tree.
Hi thanx to Morgan who started this conversation and I would like to join as well, in hope of contributing by offering my opinions. That way we could all learn from others about how they view the world and how the world views our works. I would speak from my own experience and probably leaning toward technical perspective.
I really like a couple of the images, and no doubt No.5 is the best. It gives me an interesting "A-Ha" experience: First I couldn't make out of what is it, then I realize it's probably the leave of pine trees, and at last I am surprised at how it looked like and thus, the "A-ha". The tone of the iamge is very penetrating, I especially like it.
Other ones, not so good. I see a lack of motion in most of them. I understand those days weren't windy at all :) The attempts with the leaves worth encouraging. I thought a way to capture it and maybe you could experiment it. That is, to hang a piece of leaf with string on a branch and just take however many pictures you want with it, lol.
I understand that you sometime struggle to put your opinions and feelings into words. It's ok. Here you have more time to composite your comment and don't have to worry about others not understanding you.
