For my cyclical nature composition I want to focus on the cycle/habit of man-made mechanisms/buildings and how they overtake nature over time. Instead of taking away Newland and the urban setting/objects I would like to highlight them somehow with the tree, showing how they are overtaking its space. I took most of my shots at night; I like the gold glow that they have from the lights, but I will probably take more at other times of the day as well. I also did some intentional blurred shots. The first few happened on accident, and I was frustrated by the shutter speed I had to use with some shots, so I instead just went with the blurs.
I love your use of lights, and the variety of images in light and dark settings.

I like the way you decided to work with the blurred images rather than push back against them. I think that concept actually couples nicely with the cyclical nature idea, almost like you can't fight the blur like you cant fight things progressing and changing with time.
ReplyDeleteI think that you have a good idea here. I might recommend taking more shots of some manmade/technology things where they don't hit the frame (i.e. power strip) so you can use the whole item in your composition. I do like the gold lighting in your photos as well
ReplyDeleteI agree with Miles, I would also recommend having more images of technology and manmade objects. The use of blurs is very interesting and I am curious to see how you execute them in your image.
ReplyDeleteI like the lighting as well, but I would suggest using a tripod and getting some photos with that lighting that aren't blurred- the combination of the blurred and unblurred could be really interesting I think.
ReplyDeleteNice idea
ReplyDeleteI wonder about photographing some of the industrial revolution era gears and gadgets in the Antique Mall as data. The images seem to have a retro feel to them. Nostalgia is a great hook. Good start.
Matt- are you commenting on your peer's work?
I like your concept and I like the images you chose, they all have the same feel to them and I think that is going to help in making a cohesive piece. I'm also really drawn to the elevator button ones and the exit sign pictures and their glowing red light.
ReplyDeleteHi Matt
ReplyDeleteYou were supposed to have a first stab at an image by yesterday?
Nice idea, always something surreal about night photography. Is there a central image or theme you can see as a focal point for concept and design? What exactly are you trying to say? is it the love/hate relationship with technology? over development in real estate? try to clarify your idea before you start. We need a first stab asap, Gary critiques on Monday.
