On the next discussion, we the deskpub2220, would compare two pictures that are categorize in three (3) subjects pertaining to: Lines, Texture, and Color. We use the NIKON D80 in an Auto-mode. And, took the pictures in our school, Holy Angel University, Philippines. We are more on taking shoots very often on the subjects that are categorize in Color and we had difficulties on searching subjects that are categorize in Lines. Now let us move on with the results of our pictures.
Lines
- Pic1. Focal Length – 26mm ; F-Number – f/8 ; Exposure Time – 1/25
- Pic2. Focal Length – 26mm ; F-Number – f/4 ; Exposure Time – 1/60
•The pic 1, has a 2-point perspective and the pic 2, has a 1-point perspective.•
What good / went wrong on the picture?
The pic 1 follows a 2-point perspective, which expected to be, but on the other hand, the subject, which is the building, seems to be hanging. The shoot does not cover the building’s name, that why we stated that is a hanging picture.
We have plan that taking a shoot on the pic 2 must have a vanishing point of 1 but the result as you can see, is not what we expected to be. Yap, it has a vanishing point but it is not a 1-point perspective. And the SLR uses a flash that’s why the picture has a shadow at the bottom left.
What may be the solution?
Pic1′s exposure is not quite good, it should have increase the aperture so that more light would enter the picture. It should be more on adding the building’s name or up to the first floor of the building if the subject is the building itself and learning more on exposure so that the subject will be more brighter and more attractive.
On the picture2 it should be making the top edge of the stairs be on the middle part of the picture or taking a picture from a far will enhance the 1-point perspective of the subject.
Color
- Pic3. Focal Length – 95mm ; F-Number – f/5.6 ; Exposure Time – 1/125 sec.
- Pic4. Focal Length – 90mm ; F-Number – f/5.6 ; Exposure Time – 1/80 ec.
Lets take a look at these two pictures we have here, the first picture shows a subject at the right side of the picture. While on the second picture the subject is centered on the picture.
What went good / wrong on the picture?
Pic4 did not follow the concept of the rule of thirds that the images must be placed at the left, right, upper, lower portion of the picture and not on its center. But on the other hand, pic3 follows the concept of the rule of third. Pic3′s subject was shoot in an angle of roughly 45°.
What may be the solution?
On pic3 it would be a better shoot if the subject’s angle would be 0° or up to 10°, so that the subject will be more attractive. On taking pictures follow the different rules of photography to achieve better image for your picture.
Texture
Texture helps to emphasize the features and details in a photograph. By capturing texture of objects being photographed, you can create form.
When people observe a soft, furry object or a smooth, shining surface, they have a strong urge to touch it. You can provide much of the pleasure people get from the feel of touching such objects by rendering texture in your pictures. Texture can be used to give realism and character to a picture and may in itself be the subject of a photograph. When texture is used as a subordinate element within the picture, it lends strength to the main idea in the photograph. It usually takes just a little different lighting or a slight change in camera position to improve the rendering of texture in a picture. When an area in a photograph shows rich texture, the textured area usually creates a form or shape; therefore, it should be considered in planning the photograph
Pic4. Focal Length - 48mm ; F-Number - f/4.8 ; Exposure Time - 1/30 ec.
Pic5. Focal Length - 66mm ; F-Number - f/5.3 ; Exposure Time - 1/200 ec.
What good / went wrong on the picture?
This 2 pictures are taken up inside our campus. The image one is a mixed up stylish type of image between color and textured type of image. As u can see, the image has a refreshing color of green and yellow green which is have a relaxing image for our eyes.
The picture 5 is a black and grey textured picture. This image is taken up by using birds-eye-view. This picture is like a stairs but its not. It’s a lined textured flooring in the kapampangan center park.
What may be the solution?
The wrong side of the image one is we show the wood of the trey. Take a look at this picture down here
The image 2 is like a railroad or a pedestrian lane but don’t have a yellow lines. Messed up.
