Project 8 - recording a sequence

In this project i had to record the way I approach and shoot a subject.
I went to an antique and farmers market in Oxford.


I'm entering the market and shooting a normal stand, nothing interesting, just for the beginning:













Trying to get a picture from behind the plants stool. Did not went very well.







The bread stool picture didn't came out as I wanted to.











Then I spot this women and I try to take a picture good enough without being spotted













Insted I shoot her dog. I think this would have been better if there was more legs around the dog, but I like the moment that he looks up.











I thought that this man is quite interesting subject.








I tried to shoot this old man and his merchandise
without him noticing me, but couldn't get the
right angle.



















I spotted a man talking and smiling to himself at a coffee near by and took his photos. I like this photos. espcially the second photo whenhe smiles to himself under the hat.

I took photos of some old sellers in the market, they looked to me as theatrical figures :



A stand in the market:



A bread stool:



I think this angle is better:



And again. that lady caught my eye





And just before the end I took a picture of this man:



As you can see from the pictures, the most interesting subject in the market for me is the people and market and especially antique markets are good places to spot them.
What I understood from this project is that I'm terrified from taking other people pictures and I really need to work on this because I was in such a hurry to take this pictures and move a lot of them didn't work out. I need to see how I make this happen.

project 7: Objects in different positions in the frame

In this project I need to chose a subject and place him in a different positions in the frame. I chose a cow in a green field.

Picture 1:
Again, I was asked to take a picture 'like I would normally do'. As i explained, I can no longer do that so I took it the way I think people will:




Picture 2:
The subject is in the center of the frame:




Picture 3:
The subject is a little way from the center:



Picture 4:
The subject is close to an edge:



Picture 5:
The subject is close to an edge:




I think the different position changes the whole picture! You can see this clearly in pictures 2 and 3. The positions are very close but the pictures look a lot different from each-other. In picture 2 it is clear that the black cow is the subject and the other cows are the background, but picture 3 looks more like a picture of a herb of cows rather than a one-cow picture.
Picture 3 is also my favorite in this project, the position of the cows, with just a little bit of very grey sky is the nicest combination.

Project 6 - fitting the frame to the subject

In this project I had to take 4 different pictures of the same subject, in different position in the frame.
I went to the meadow and found this blue bicycle on a green background.

Picture 1:
A photo as I normally would have taken (which is quite funny because always when they tell you NOT to think that makes you immediately think about position, isn't it? so I took it like I think other people would take the photo):


Picture 2:
The subject fit the frame as tightly as possible:


Picture 3:
Part of the subject:


Picture 4:
The subject is a little part of the frame:


I like picture 4 the best. It gives me a feeling of freedom, of a Sunday ride in the forest. I myself love bike riding (which probably helped to pick a subject...) so this picture that combines nature and riding that I love doing.
