I disagreed with Carl on Ancin's tire photo. I enjoyed the abstracted detail of the treads and how you can see dust or dirt on the surface. To me it worked as an unconventional landscape. I agree that alone it might not have much meaning to the viewer but I feel in a series of some sort, where there were more of the subject or more meaning behind the vantage point, it could be a strong photo. I also disagreed with the tree knot photo. I thought it was interesting and had a funny look to it. The tree did almost take on another form like Sarah's "excited cyclops" example. I did enjoy the rotting berry photo the most. I agreed that the fuzzy green background made the red of the berries pop. I also felt that if the berries weren't rotting it might not have been as strong of a photo in content.
I enjoyed Yuna's photo of the Asian performers in the supermarket very much. There were so many interesting parts coming together and even more hidden things that revealed themselves the more you looked at the whole picture. I noticed that the one girl looking in the opposite direction mimicked, yet contrasted with the girl's smiling face on the TV screen. Also the matching costumes mimicked the matching posters on the wall. It was also interesting how the posters lined up with a few of the girls and looked like thought bubbles above their heads like a comic book or something. I disagreed with Carl on the photo of the peppers. I am also attracted to color and enjoyed the vivid colors of the peppers all lined in a row. The things I found interesting about the the cafe lobby photo were the lighting and the large shelf of cans on the wall. They reflected the light and made up a nice composition.
In Ana's photos there were a few things I enjoyed but felt they could've been improved upon. For example, The guy on the bench with pigeons on one side and the other people on the other. If those other people were more in the frame you could get a better feeling of their stories. Also if you got a bit more of the main guy's face, it would've been more interesting. I agreed with Anthony about the scarecrow photo. I did think it would've been a little hokey if it hadn't been in front of the city backdrop of the construction and building scaffolding. It felt a little out of place and that made it interesting. The pumpkins in the graveyard had a really nice composition, but the subject matter fell a tiny bit short to me. One more element or part to the story would've made it great. I really enjoyed the church photo and how all the elements came together in the composition. The organic tree in front of the style of building, juxtopostioned with the geometric light post and flag all made up different pieces of a puzzle.
Okay I guess the treads could be interesting in a series but alone even as a landscape I am not that psyched on it, and for a humorous tree I didn't hear much laughter. And what exactly was it that I said that you disagreed with?
ReplyDeleteIs that the picture you like or the stores display design? But again what is it that I said that you disagreed with me on? and the last paragraph is well said but I don't think I disagreed with any of that.
on your dodge and burn the fianl result looks good but watch your blacks sldier in RAW in almost all of them they could certianly be lighten up in RAW. Also why only 3 should be another 3 images
