Line image

Line image

This image is a line image. Lines have man uses in photographs and many of these uses include drawing the eye into certain parts of the composition. I think that the composition could have been better throught through to get a better line image effect, and that I should have made the lines stand more in the middle of the image with railings on either side to add to the effect. I struggled to use the manual focus ring at first because I am used to using automatic focus on cameras where it focuses the image for me. I will improve the skill of using the manual focus by getting used to it being there and getting into the habit of focusing the picture before taking it. This image was in focus and I did not use the zoom as because it was an extreme long shot so I didn't feel the need to. An overall strength of my picture is it is in focus, but weaknesses include the composition, because I just randomly took a picture without thinking about it.

 

Tilt image

I used a tilt image in this picture. Tilt images are often used to make dull images stand out and have prominence. I think the image is well composed because there is not a lot going on and this makes you focus your attention on the clock. I think to improve the image I would have tilted the camera further up for effect and made it more interesting though with more going on in the background. I used the focus ring to make the picture good quality. An overall strength of this image is the high focus it is in, and the lighting. A weakness of the image is that it's composition is quite dull, and could do with more going on around it. 

 

Shot distance - extreme close up

 

This image is an extreme close up of a lock. Extreme close ups are commonly used to draw the viewers attention to a particular detail/details. I think it is well composd as because the lock is on the left hand side of the picture, it catches the viewers attention before the other background elements. My image was fairly in focus though part of the lock is blurry and I didn't use the zoom. An overall strenght of this image is that the colours are powerfull e.g. the blue against the white and the fact that it is in focus. A weakness of the image is that it's composition is quite boring and I think it should have had more going on.
