Project 30 – Colour Control
Find a strong, definite colour and fill the frame with the colour. Find the average exposure setting, the one your camera’s meter recommends. Take a sequence of 5 photos from one stop over this average exposure to one stop under, in increments of half a stop. I photographed a bright red jumper. The light was … Continue reading
Project 29 – Incorporating what you have learned so far
The idea behind this project is to incorporate what we have learned so far into a set of 10 or more photographs directed towards one type of subject. Produce at least 10 photographs, all of a similar subject, which between them will show the following effects: 1. single point dominating the composition 2. 2 points … Continue reading
Project 28 – Rhythm and pattern
Produce at least 2 photographs with 1 showing rhythm and one showing pattern. I really liked the collection of the shellfish and the pattern that they made. I tried to crop on so that the edges of the subject pattern weren’t seen but I think it would have been more striking had I taken the … Continue reading
Project 27 – Real and implied circles
Produce 4 photographs organised around circles. You can include real circles but try to include at least 2 circular arrangements that are implied. I began with looking for real circles which are relatively easy to find, although it’s harder to find ones that will translate into interesting images. Then I began to look for implied … Continue reading
Project 26 – Real and Implied Triangles
Produce two sets of triangular compositions in photographs – one using ‘real’ triangles the other making ‘implied’ triangles Part 1 – Real 1. A triangular subject 2. Make a triangle by perspective, converging towards the top of the frame 3. Make an inverted triangle by perspective converging towards the bottom of the frame Part 2 … Continue reading
Project 25 – Rectangles
Produce 3 photographs of different subjects that contain prominent rectangles – making sure they stay rectangular in shape through the viewfinder. Keeping things as rectangles requires being directly in front of the subject otherwise it becomes skewed. Windows make a good rectangular subject and I thought this was particularly interesting as the shaped is stressed … Continue reading
Project 23 – Implied Lines
Part 1 – Use project images and sketch implied lines in each. Finally take 3 of your own photographs and perform the same analysis. Part 2 – Take 2 photographs that use the following kinds of implied lines to lead the eye: 1. An eye line 2. The extension of a line or lines that … Continue reading
