Melany- Melany's contrast lighting photo was a photograph of a lamp. Among her six pictures, this picture stood out to me as being really interesting and a good way to capture contrast lighting. Professor Gunhouse did not seem to like the picture of the lamp as much because he said it looked too blurry and bright, probably from a slow shutter speed. I didn't really feel like the picture was out of focus, i felt like where she was focusing on the picture and the depth of field of it made it the way it came out. I think that the picture gave off a good image and I really liked how it came out and how the lighting came out through the picture.
Evan- I really enjoyed looking at Evan's photos. One that we focused on was a more staged photograph where Evan was in a chair with a bottle of wine in front of him and he was angrily/fiercely holding a broken light bulb that had a shot of wine in it. Professor Gunhouse said how the picture was good and how it would be perfect if he wasn't holding the broken light bulb. He noted how the picture was a little too much because of the bulb. Unlike professor Gunhouse, I think that the broken bulb was a part of the picture that you couldn't take out. I feel like without the bulb the picture would be missing something and could even be less powerful and more boring in a sense. I feel like the bulb in the picture is the piece that ties it together to convey the overall affect that he was going for.
Anthony- Anthony's three emotions picture was a clever way of trying to capture three emotions. I think that for trying to capture three different emotions at once he did a good job. Professor Gunhouse felt that this picture would be better if it was cropped in more to around on the man texting as more of the focus point. I think that that could work well if Anthony wasn't trying to capture three emotions. Also I feel like if he cropped out too much then he would lose a lot of the background detail, like of the people walking into the parking garage from outside and things like that.
I guess its not an issue of liking or not liking the blur more it didn't seem intentional it seemed more like an accident.
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess I just feel that the picture would be weird either way with the setting and the expression the light bulb takes it from being weird in real life to being a weird picture that is being made weird for class.
Yeah I guess he would lose detail just not sure how important people walking in the background are.
