What compositional elements and principles are present in your photo?
Within the photo, the use of triangles and diagonals is evident as it is shown in the corners of the dice and the playing card with the red diagonal diamonds on it. The photo also has interesting color as the majority of the photo is black and white and then there is a bright red on the card that stands out from the rest of the photo. Technically, how did you control the camera, lighting, or your position when you took the photo to create a successful shot? (How did you consider distance, point or view and camera angle?) The depth of field in the photo is more shallow as it solely focuses on the front dice and a small portion of the glass to the right but the rest of the background of the photo is blurred. Due to the brightness of the light aimed at the objects, the ISO was only at about 100 in order to achieve the correct lighting. Artistically, were you able to create a photo with a sense of mood or special meaning? (or) Were you able to show an interesting point of view? (or) Does the subject hold the viewer’s attention? The image shows dice and a playing card which can often times be found together. The image depicts an interesting point of view because it shows the objects as you would if it were sprawled out on a table yet the blur in the background and the focus on the front dice gives a new perspective on the piece and allows you to see it in a different way than usual. |

The photo isn't directly in the middle, it is shifted very slightly to the left following the rule of thirds. The image also portrays line from the tree branches in the background and shape from bubble in the front. It also has interesting colors in the reflection of the bubble with pink and purple specks. Technically, how did you control the camera, lighting, or your position when you took the photo to create a successful shot? (How did you consider distance, point or view and camera angle?) To create a successful shot, the shutter speed needed to be fast at about 1/1000 or higher to catch the bubble as it was moving in the air, otherwise it would have been blurry and difficult to see. The photo has good depth of field as you can see the tree is in the background even though it is slightly blurred, and you can see the bubble is in the front and has good focus where you can see every detail of it. Artistically, were you able to create a photo with a sense of mood or special meaning? (or) Were you able to show an interesting point of view? (or) Does the subject hold the viewer’s attention? I find the photo interesting because everyone knows what a bubble looks like but the way it was captured with the lighting and different reflections makes the image more interesting to look at and observe. |

I feel the photo shows good use of depth where the pillar is the foreground and most focused on, the middleground is the playground equipment and the trees and sunset is in the background. Also, the image had interesting colors because the playground was more dark with grays, reds, and blues which contrasted the background and sunset which was more light with yellows and light blues. Technically, how did you control the camera, lighting, or your position when you took the photo to create a successful shot? (How did you consider distance, point or view and camera angle?) The biggest element I focused on in this picture was aperture. I wanted to focus on a small object and then have the background be blurred enough so you can tell it is in the background but not too much so you can't tell what it is at all. I really enjoy the contrast in the photo between the dark playground and the light sky with the sunset. Artistically, were you able to create a photo with a sense of mood or special meaning? (or) Were you able to show an interesting point of view? (or) Does the subject hold the viewer’s attention? I believe that I was able to show an interesting point of view because you are able to see a good majority of the playground and a unique view of the sunset with the dark blurred trees in the background as if it was the perfect time of day to take the photo. |
