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!
Sara-- The images you photographed of the grasses are gorgeous. They really accentuate your idea of photographing light (not so much movement). It seems that you are really drawn to that specific type of light but I also really enjoyed your images last week. I really enjoyed your different interpretation of motion in the landscape. You made use of a still and calm day in a creative way to portray landscape. Your images were really different than what anyone expected which I think worked really well for you. See you Thursday!-- Morgan
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.
First, I really like 1-4, especially 1. It exceeds its peer by composition, exposure and arrangement of the plants. It radiates warmth and peacefulness at the same time. Though maybe not intentional, the thin depth of field is an extra for that picture.
The rest of the images aren't as competitive. The lack a tripod made images blurry. One shall keep the center of an "zooming" iamge crisp so the deformation of the rest will create the emphasizing effect.
And I would strongly recommand to not use an fish-eye lens unless you've had enough time with it. Despite its dramatic effect, its outcome could be inpredictable at the same time. It's better if the lens you rented achieves the effect you desire.
Looking forward to hear your opinions on others' works :)
