Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

What first caught my eye about Jerry Uelsmann's photography was that he makes really cool illusions with his photos, the fact that he can convert a house into a tree, a ceiling into the sky, and hands into the tree limbs that hold a birds nest, is out of my imagination.

I see . . . in the first photo a tree house , literally, a house with roots growing from it. 

In the second photo i see a roofless room, the cloudy sky above it, in a office like area.

I smell . . . Id smell the fresh air and the reak of the old wooden house broken down.

 in the second photo id smell the fresh air, the last time the fire place was lit, and the flowers in the vase hidden in the back.

I hear . .id here the breeze as it blows against the glass of the broken windows in and out of the empty house.

 in the second photo id hear the strange noises coming from the hollow chimney as the air passes through and the paper on the desk flap because the only thing preventing it to move is a feathered pen. 

I taste . . .id taste the sadness of the empty broken house.

 in the second photo id taste the loneliness of the room once filled with many formative and heavy thinking people

I feel . . . id feel the the dirt pass my feet as the wind blew at a fast pace and the little bit of grass growing along the roots.

in the second photo id feel the air against my face and the expensive carpet i stand on.

 

to show off my photographer id do a power point that shows every famous photo he has and the hidden ones not many people know of.

Academic Shoot reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?  
I faced the challenge of having to capture the photos a lot of people were shy (the baseball boys) and most of the photos were action photos so they were not easy to catch.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. 
focus and the angle, i payed attention more for these because to me they define the photo you cant see a blurry picture and you cant see the focus of the photo if you don't have the right angle, i did this by making sure i waited for the camera to focus itself, and i used diffrent heights like getting on my knees on chairs and going to the corner to get the whole photo like a panoramic.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
I would continue to do the same as i did because i feel i know the rules well its just a matter of timing and finding the rules in school.

4. What things would you do the same?
Just about everything except framing.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
the easiest would be simplicity

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
framing would be the hardest to capture for me

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
balance i think i could use more than just oh they have the same length their balanced i could learn more into detail of the rule.

Acedimic shoot

 

SIMPLICITY

1. I followed the rule pretty well

2. The basketball player dribbling the ball up the court is my subject
3. yes it is clear that the player is my subject because it stands out against the closed bleachers with visual prominence.
4. I wouldn't do anything differently but a different angle with no one in the background.

 

RULE OF THIRDS

1. I followed the rule really well

2. my subject is the boy reading his book in the library 

3. yes its pretty clear, you cant miss that hes reading a book, in a library setting

4. I wouldn't do anything different. 

 

 

 

LINES 

1. I followed the rule very well.
2. The subject is the drill line in dancing

3. yes it is clear that the dancers are in lines dancing
4.I wouldn't change nothing but the girls not in a straight line

 

BALANCE

1. I tryed my best to catch the rule not follow it because i followed it well it was just a matter of capturing it.
2. the subject is the dancers dancing all at the same balance.
3. Yes it is very clear to someone else
4.nothing

 

FRAMING

1. not well

2.the subject is the basketball player laying up the ball.

3. yes it is clear its a basketball player shooting the ball

4.I would have had better framing then using the other players as a frame

 

AVOIDING MERGES 

1. I followed the rule perfect.
2. the subject is the baseball boys working out in the weight room
3. yes its clear because of the weights and the boys using them and the boys shirt slightly says baseball
4.I followed the rule well the boy standing around as the merge of the boy behind him working out ad just in general the merge of what he is supposed to be doing in class, being the only kid not lifting weights.

Academics Shoot Preview

The Story

The story here shows that the students and their teacher are joking around and have a good relationship with each other and also that teachers can be fun too. 

 

Action or Emotion 

The action being took here is welding and the fire from the torch used made a beautiful light that the photographer was able to capture.

 

Fills The Frame

The water from the experiment filled the frame when it burst into the air.

 

I chose this photo because the color catches your attention and it looks extremely cool.Balance and simplicity are evident in this photo.
