So as you can see, I went to the Provo City Center Temple Open house with my family. I saw this statue in front and I loved it. I love how it is a family together. I wanted to try to an over the shoulder shot on the dad. I like the line that the family creates. I thought tonally, it was interesting how they stick out from the background. They are each made out of the same material so overall, tonally they are similar. The tangent on the top left is distracting. I didn't want that in the frame.
I love this black and white photo of the statue and the temple in the background. So, this was one of the days where the fog and the inversion were terrible. The statue was very dark in tone and the fog hazed the temple detail out. I love how this almost created a silhouette on the statues.
I turned this parking sign with the fence to black and white because I wanted to see tonally, what would happen. No wonder with film noir, the art had much red in the design if they wanted a color that would pop. All of the writing is a simple black except the circle around the P and the words "Towed Away" are in red. It's interesting to see how the "Towed Away" appears compared to the other words. The red had a lighter tone, which helps it have some contrast.
Back to the temple with this one. The statue was a heavy black compared to the temple. The aerial diffusion helped the temple colors be lighter. The fountain is heavy on the tone scale. I wanted to frame it right in the middle and I wanted overlap. I wanted to create a compare and contrast with the two items.
These are the blinds at my mom's apartment. It was interesting to see how the light would break in through the clacks. The blinds and the light are on the opposite sides of the tonal scale. It's interesting how the light creates lines between the blinds. The vertical lines and the contrast are interesting.
I think all of these photos are great! I really like the tonal contrast in the last photo, and I like how you can take a photo of the same object and create two different effects, utilizing different angles and tones (photos 1 and 2).
ReplyDeleteI like the symmetry, sense of movement in the water and areal diffusion in your fourth photo. I wish it was a little higher or wider so we could see Moroni and that the tents from the open house weren’t there.
ReplyDeleteThese dark contrasting objects in the foreground of the temple photos really make for some interesting flat space. And while the inversion is awful, it made for some really visually stunning photos this week for you. The blinds in the last photo also go from vertical to diagonal and it is really quite unsettling.
ReplyDeleteI liked the tonal contrast that you captured in your final photo. I also liked that the widths of the various lines weren't all the same size, which gave us even more action and tension in a place that would otherwise have affinity.
