Six Dice
This photograph "Six Dice" emphasizes how crucial aperture can be to shape a picture's focal point. The plain white background is not distracting as the only point of interests are the dice and card due to their color and shape that the background compliments perfectly. The aperture focuses the dice in the front and leaves the dice in the back blurry and much less focused. The shallow depth of field highlights the repetition of the picture as the dice are perfectly placed in a line. This photo is one of my best works and was actually taken by accident while I was trying to adjust the aperture, thus how this surprisingly satisfying picture was taken. |
Light Waves
From the unit "Painting with Light" this photo grabs the viewer's attention with it's vibrant colors that contrast with the pitch black background. The line that the Christmas lights creates follows the rule of thirds and the fact that it is not completely straight adds an extra interesting element to the picture. The shutter speed used was about 10; this makes the photo have a long exposure and blurs the colored lights. The vibrant neon colors perfectly contrast with the black background, which is why it is one of my favorite photos. |
Falling Dice
This is another solid example of how low shutter speed creates interest in a photo. The photograph "Falling Dice" has a shutter speed of 10. The black and white picture is simple and captures the dice at a perfect spot as they're falling out of the hand. The texture of the hand contrasts smoothly with the white background and dice. This is one of my favorite shots because of the use of slow shutter speed and black and white colors that tie in the best parts of the picture's composition without taking anything away from the work as a whole. |
