From the DVD

1st) I really liked the photo of the feather on the rocks. it was just a matter of the simplicity and tranquility with the water in the background. 
 2nd) He did that project of taking ONE photo a day for 90 days to take what he had learned over the years and try and put them all together, instead of shoting many differant shots.
3rd) Some of his photography



Lines (critique)

     I think I could have gotten a little more creative with the lines assignment. The ones I took seemed rather bland and in printing they came out a little gray and bland. I would have added a little contrast to the bricks photo and with the fence one also.

Lines

 This picture is leading your eye to the top left corner with diagonal lines.
 I like this one because the swirls on the fire draw you into it.
 the eye for me gose imediatly to the center of the picture.
 curves in the road lead around the hill adding an aspect of mystery. whats hehind the hill? where are you going?
the dead crops have an aspect of dsipair or disturbing. the lines point to almost a nothingness.

critique (depth of feild)

On my depth of field pictures I think I did pretty well on, I was mainly in the woods so there were quite a few of "repeating" subjects; I lacked variety. but for the most part I think I had a well done picture of a very interesting log, and a wider view of the tops of the trees in a clearing. Again a lack of variety but it wasn't too bad.

Depth of Feild



The three above have very shallow depths of feild, focusing only on a very spacific aspect of the picture.



the three above now have very wide depths of feild, expanding the view over a very large distance and it dosen daw your eye to a very specific point.

Critique (stop motion/motion blur)

Acctuly im not very happy with my stop action/motion blur photos. I think I could have done alot better with them. The pictures are extreamly dull and just.. bleh, i dont like them much at all.

Stop motion/ Motion blur



 The previous would have required very fast shutter speeds.


 The previous would have required slower shutter speeds to obtain the blur.

Text book Photo

I chose this picture because I like the repeating patterns and the very wide depth of field.The long shadows help emphasise this in the landscape. id like to try and add this to more of my photos.

Drawn House

My house has some very interesting angles to photograph, but it lacks in the number of posable subjects.

Print off the desk

Combat. Survival. Brutal.
I chose this picture because I like the motion blur added to it. It seems to bring out the action of combat more and point out that in war there is no standing still. I got one of the three words, combat, for the simple fact of thats what it is. Survival is what the man in the picture is attemting, by gettting low, even in the water. Brutal from the carrnage in the backround of the picture from barriers and explosives.
