Evaluation

The main focus of my photo is a white flower to the top of the image. i took this photo for my project the cocept of this photo is exabition flowers. i think this image fit well with my concept. i think the white flowers stand out against the green leaves in the background. Also the leaves in the background create good patterns. i think the white flowers create good lines because the petals create lines. i think the big green leaves create a nice texture for the photo. all these elements make the photo more interesting to look at. i think this photo could be improved by cropping in on photoshop to make the main image more to the center. i have asked other people what the think of my photo and the have said they like that the white flowers contrast against the dark background making them stand out more.

I got this professional photo for internet. compared to my image this photos main focus im clearer than mine. like my photo this image has good lines and darkerleves in the background.

Evaluation

the main subject of my photo is the big white flower facing the camera. i took this photo because i like close ups. I find them interesting to look at. i think the focus on the main image is really clear because the branches n the background are blurred making the flowers in the front stand out.i think this picture has good lines because of the branches in the background.the dark twigs make the flowers stand out and draw focus to them. they create a good effect.this photo also has the rule of thirds because the white flower which is the main subject of the image is to the left, this make the photo look more interesting. Also the branches in the background of the image make good patterns. i also think the use of lights in the background coming through the branches create a good effect. my concept for this photo was exhibition flowers, i think it fits my concept well. i think this is a good photo however it could be improved by more focus on the photo and a clearer shot of the main image. i have asked people what they think of my photo they said it is good because the blurred out background make the flowers stand out so you can clearly see the focus of the image, however they also said that the colour tones of the picture are very similar so it is hard to see some of the smaller flowers. i think i could resolve this problem by changing the colour of the picture to black and white and the making changing the contrast so the background it darker and the flowers stick out.

this is a professional photograph i found on the internet. compared to my photo i think is picture has brighter clearer colours so you can see everything in the image clearly. Like my photo it has a blurred out background to make the focus of the image stand out.

 Before
 i took this photo for my project and i the catagorey it was under was exhibition flowers. then i edited to make it black and white.i used photo shop to edit this photo i think the effect make the photo more interesting to look at it also makes the background stand out.

 After

 before
i edited this photo on photoshop by adjusting the contrast and the brightness. i think this makes the photo look more professinol and by making the flowers brighter it has made the branches darker so they stand out more.

 Before

After
I thought that the focus for this photo was to much in the middle. so i used the rule of thirds and cropped the photo on photo shop and cropped it. now the focus is more to the left. now i think it looks better.

project photos- client photos

these photos are for a client, they are showing damage of the school

Project photos- flowers

  

for my project i had to take photos with a concept. my first concept was a picture of a dog.

 i think this is a good picture because

 i think this is a good picture because i have ued the rule of thirds which make the image more interesting.i think the grass in the background adds texture and creates good lines.

for this project we have been told to take photos. we must choose three different themes.

first theme
i will take photos of animals

Rule of thirds

This is a good example of the rule of thirds. you are draw to look at the boy on the left of the picture which make the focuse more interesting. you are not looking at the middle of the photo only on the left which shows it is a good exsample of the rule of thirds.

this picture is to focused in the middle and it dose not look right. if i use the rule of thirds i can change the focus of this picture and make it look better.

this is the same photo above but cropped. you can see that the focus has changed, so now the focus is the right of the photo. i have use the rule of thirds to change the focus of this photo.

We were asked to go out and take some photos that had good examples of colour, lines, patterns and texture. these are the pictures which i think show these elements well.

 

 

 lines- i think that this picture shows lines well. the wall in the back ground shows the element of lines and makes the photo look more interesting.

 Pattern- i think this photo of a pole covered in water shows patterns well. i think the light on the rain drops adds to the pattern and makes it stand out more which makes this a good photo.

colour- we took this picture because we thought the different colours on the coats would show the element of colour well. i think the different colours are interesting and look good.

texture- i think all the branches on the tree create good texture.

How to take a good photo

This is the badly framed picture which i have made better. i have done this by cropping the space around it using photo shop.this has made it less busy and you can see the image better.I improved my picture by using the cropping tool on Photoshop.

Can you take a good photo?

This is a bad photo because there is to much space around the main image. It is badly framed and the background is to busy.

Can you take a good photograph?

This is a good photo because it is framed well and you can clearly see the main focus of the picture.

What makes a good photo

What makes a good photo

This photo is from 2001. i choose this photo because i think it is very interesting. it is an amazing close up which allows you to See the rainbow trout from the gullet if the northern pike. i think it is quite humorous and extremely entertaining to look at.
