Project 23 - Implied lines

For the first part I had to Analiese 2 pictures and draw their implied lines:

Photo 1:

Photo 2:
Threshing corn in Sicily


For the second part I needed to find 3 photos of my own and perform the same analysis.

Photo 3:
A horse rider with a bow and arrow


I took this photo on a falconry festival. The two dominate lines here is the horse that creates a line out of the photo in a diagonal and the turn head of the rider create an implied line from him to the place he looks - the target, even thought we can't see no his eyes nor the target.
The analysis:


Photo 4:
fly in circle


Taken in the Park, this is not a great photo but it's a very good example for implied line, for my opinion. You can almost feel the turning in circle of my poor little boy...
The analysis:


Photo 5:
Worms


Worms always gives this wiggly feeling and in such they seems to me a perfect subject for implied lines. Those are worms from my garden, caught by my boys, that were very happy helping mum today.
The analysis:


And for the last part I was asked to take 2 photos that use implied lines:

Photo 6:
An eye-line


I LOVE this photo. I really think it's one of my best. The fish surprisingly looking where he is being brought. He was thrown back to the river later!

Project 22 - curves

The last type of simple lines is curved lines. I was asked to produce 4 photos. I decided to divide it to 2 man-made curves photos and 2 nature-made curves.

Man-made curves:

Photo 1:
Piggy


This is my sons piggy. When I thought about a man-made curves this is the first thing that I thought about. It is so curvy! The body, the nose, the legs...well everything except from the ears. I wanted to take the photo with a line background so I took it next to the couch.

Photo 2:
Round building


A building in Stowe Gardens. Here too the building is curvy as well as his balcony, pillars and ceiling, all perfectly shaped.

Nature made curves:

Photo 3:
A path


For me, the entrance to this path is a beautiful ellipse curve which gives it a feeling of a magic entrance.

Photo 4:
Swans


In this photo there are 2 main nature made curves: the swans neck and the circles the swans makes in the water. I feel like this curves gives the photo a 'Royal' look.

Project 21 - diagonals

Congratulation!!
I got my new camera - Canon EOS 450D. She's great. (In my language a camera is a she and that's how I'm gonna treat her!).

I have to say that some photos That I made now in my new camera will be published in my older projects as I always do some projects together.

So now for project 21 - here we're came to diagonal lines shown strongly in the photo:

Photo 1:
My boys at the park


Taken in Stowe Landscape Gardens in a sunny Sunday, the steep of the hill is a strong diagonal

Photo 2:
A ceiling


This photo was taken at Stowe Landscape Gardens as well, in one of the beautiful building in this park.

Photo 3:
A tree in Blenhaim Park


In this case the camera was horizontally but the talented gardeners of Bleinhaim Palace in Woodstock made this cut in the trees to be exactly parallel to the slope and both of them (the slope and the tree cut) creates the diagonals in the photo.

Photo 4:
Knifes


While thinking about the project and making dinner I saw that the photo is just in my hands! I took the knifes stand and put it on the table so in the background will be the very vertical lines of the france doors and curtains which gives it a nice contras.


In the text book I've found examples for diagonals:
  • "The open door" by William Henry Fox Talbot, diagonal creates by the broom.
  • "Flither pickers" by Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, diagonal creates by the coastline .
  • "On Sussex down" by Frederick Evans, diagonal creates by the track in the field.
  • "Miss Thompson" by Clarence White, diagonal creates by the arms.

Project 20 - horizontal and vetical lines

For this project I needed to produce 4 examples of photos with horizontal lines and 4 with vertical lines, finding the different ways in which horizontal and vertical lines appear to the eye and to the camera.

Horizontal line:

Photo 1:
Zola


Taken in the Suadia -Arabia stall in the falconry festival. Zola is the arab name for this kind of a place for laying around, having coffee and a smoke. It reminded me of home. This is very comfi.

Photo 2:
Boats in the river


Taken in Oxford port meadow.

Photo 3:
Tree trunk


Taken in Blenhaim Palace, Woodstock. The tree-trunks there are so hotizontal that all of the kids (including my own) loves to clime and play on them like a see-sow.

Photo 4:
Colors



Vertical lines:

Photo 1:
Rolls Royce


Taken in the falconry festival, a very classy vertical lines!

Photo 2:
Fashminas in the market

Project 19 - multiple points

this time I was asked to create my own still-life set by adding one by one a point to the frame.
I decided to take a paper and add color by color, without planing ahead. As I put the paper on the table and took the photo standing on the table I could not use a tripod, but I think the result came out good.
This is the result:















And I couldn't resist in the end doing that...

Project 18 - relationship between points

In this project I was asked to find a situation that combines 2 points and take a photo in a "normally" way. I didn't quite understood what normal means, but I just went for a morning in the meadow and this is my favorite 3 photos:

Photo 1:
Two horses in the meadow


In this photo I've noticed that my eyes first drawn to the right horse. I think maybe it for his wide opening of the legs. I really like this photo.

Photo 2:
Two cut tree trunks


Here I first drawn to the left log, maybe because it is shorter so it's more dominating the front of the photo.

Photo 3:
Two sleeping ducks


Here my eyes first drawn to the right duck, maybe because it's taller, so the point is more dominating the photo.

Project 17 - positioning a point

In this project I was asked to take 3 one-point photos, each one in a different position in the frame.

Photo 1:
The center of the frame:

300mm, 1/500 sec at F/8, ISO 200

The point is in the middle to emphasize the beautiful purple color among the dry green-brown summer growth.

Photo 2:
just off center

228mm, 1/250 sec at F/5.6, ISO 320

I can't really explain why I put the cherry in this position, it just seems beautiful.

Photo 3:
At the edge of the frame

180mm, 1/250 sec at F/5, ISO 200

I wanted to picture the purple spike with his green stalk friend

Project 16: defining a point

This is not a 'get out and take some photos' kind of a project In this project I need to make a list of photos that shows a situation of a point, and then add some examples from my collection.

My list:
  1. A bird on a tree top. The bird as a point with the green leafs as the background.
  2. A colorful graffiti on a pale-grey wall
  3. A lonely farm in the fields
  4. One green-leaf tree in the desert
  5. A lady-bird on the green grass
  6. A street light in a dark rainy night
  7. An air-balloon in a clear sky
  8. A child with t-shirt, shorts and sandals (smiling, of course) between a privet-school uniformed children
  9. One black sheep and her white family.
  10. Tiny feet of the baby among the large feet of the family.

Examples from my pictures:

Photo 1:
A bee on a flower


Photo 2:
A rose


Photo 3:
A horse in the field


Photo 4:
A duck in the river




And here are some examples of photos I like from the world wide web:
