This shot helped me think creatively as I stood in one spot and took a multitude of different shots. This helped me to think of every angle I could take a picture of until I settled on taking a straight down shot of my shoes. For this exercise I took many many photos of the same object in different scenes/positions until I found this bald spot in the grass. I think the ring around the object helps emphasise it and draw our attention towards it more. This exercise had to do with placing restrictions on myself. When I took this shot I had decided to take as many different overexposed shots as I could. I liked this one because you can see the sun shining through the trees which blurs the edges, as well as giving a nice contrast to the darker trees. This is a recreation of the creation of Adam, which is a famous painting. Corey (left) is portraying god, while Cain (right) is Adam. I took a little over 10 different angles, exposures and poses until I landed on a scene I liked. I like how of...

This image displays leading lines that pull the attention into the photo. There is also a dominance of one object over the other. I attempted to use the rule of eighths where the person on the lefts face, the side of the person on the right and the grass horizon line all match up with the guideline for the rule of eighths. The H pole also winds up in the centre of everything. The winding road is giving a slow motion that pulls your attention towards the horizon line. The horizon line and the pole on the left also match up with the rule of thirds. This image captures dominance of one object drawing more attention than the other and having more presence in the image. This image is capturing offset where there's more to one side of the image than to the other. this image has a centre line where the image can be cut down the middle and be symmetrical.
