This little square house is in the middle of my apartment complex. It is the most bizarre thing in the world, because the architecture and style do not match the rest of the place at all. To capture this feeling, I framed the square house as a flat object with other pieces of the complex with depth.
This has likely been the worst month in the last couple years for allergies for me. I wanted to get a close-up of the seemingly innocent pollen producers that have been hard at work trying to kill me. I love the shallow depth of field and the contrasting lines in every direction.
I am always astounded by the magnificent architecture we never admire here in provo. With this photo, I purposefully included the shadow on the ground to frame the picture's bottom. It also reminds me of I Am Legend.
With this picture, I wanted to capture how strange the light post looked to me and provide a dynamic photo. The Blue and green in this photo strongly separate the two planes, and the buildings on the right provide some nice depth. But what is up with the space under this lamp post?
Perhaps this is my lamest photo of the day. I wanted to see the roots growing into the fire hydrant. It is a strange happening that makes me imagine the roots reaching for life (aka water). My original intention was to provide the hydrant with powerful framing (a low angle), but I wasn't able to see the roots growing into it.
You said your last photo was the lamest but I like it! While the execution might not be perfect (but what is?) I am not sure how I would have taken it any differently. I liked the subject and your idea of the roots "reaching for life". I also like the dead old look and unsaturated contrasting colors
ReplyDeleteI really like the off-kilter high angle on the fire hydrant photograph! The roots may not be the focus of the photo, but you framed the hydrant in a very interesting/pleasing way.
ReplyDeleteWe live in a cool place Dhane, ya sure you want to move?!?! I've walked past all of those things at least every other day and never once stopped to observe them. I am glad you did!
ReplyDeleteI really like your library photo! It seems kind of foreboding, like something bad is about to go down. I also really liked your flower photo (allergies get me too). Lots of blue and green in that photo, which are my favorite colors.
