Work Diary - Form

In todays lessons we were tasked with photographing form. I found this hard as I didn't really understand what I was supposed to be photographing however when I went out and began photographing, it became slightly easier as time went on, however this is still the hardest topic we have had so far, I think that this maybe one of the hardest topics during this unit as I struggled to understand exactly what form is. 

Below is one of the photographs from the shot that I like. 

Camera Setting - 1/200 sec f/7.1 ISO 100

I like this photograph because it is a very natural photograph and I like the photos where people aren't looking directly at the camera. I also like this photo because it shows lots of different forms such as the form of the man, the guitar and the wall. I also like this photo because I think that it shows many different colours that also helps add to the showing of the form in the photographs.

Below is a photo that I don't like from the shoot 

I don't like this photo because I don't think it shows form well and I don't like watch the photo is off. The angle of the photograph isn't how I would like it to be I would like it to be closer and from a more diagonal angle to show of the true form of both the bird on top of the lamp post but also of the lamp post itself. I would also edit the photo and make it black and white to really show of the form featured in the photo.

Progression

If I were to shoot form again I would focus more on getting the photos from good angles and  making sure I was close enough to the subject of the photograph to really show off the form of the subject.  I would also attempt to take photos that would show form well in colour as I don't feel I took many photos this week that looked good in colour.

I like this photo because it clearly shows form and shows the form of the pen from the nib all the way to the top of the photo. I like how the nib of the pen is in focus but the rest of the photo is blurred. I like this photo because it clearly shows form. I think that the use of black and white really helps show off the form in the photo and really helps to make the form within the photographs helps show off the form, and the fact that you can see a shadow with in the photo helps to show the form  and adds to the depth of the photograph and shows form well. 

I chose this photo to be in my image bank because I really feel that the it shows form very clearly. You can clearly see the shape of the chess pieces showing off their form very well. Another reason I like this photo is because even though the pieces in the background are blurred you can still clearly see their form allowing you to appreciate them as well. I think this photo looks good in black and white and means that the different tones within the photo can also be well seen.   

I really like this photograph because I like how you can see the form of the human being through the shadow while not having the actual human being in the photograph, this is a really good photo for showing the main parts of the human body. I like this photo and this is an editing technique that I would like to learn how to do as I think this is a very clever photo. 

I like this photo because it clearly shows the form of fingers and the detail of the fingers. I also like the different shading and how it really shows the different features of the of the fingers. The use of black and white on this photos shows the real detail in the fingers and allows the real detail of each finger, and the black on the white highlights this. 

I like this photo because of the form is repeated and shows clear shape and clear tone. I think this photo is extremely clever and the form is clear. This photo show both the form of the human and the form of the skateboard. The use of the shadow shows of the form very well and in this photo the use of colour adds to the photo and really helps to show the form off well. 

I like this photo because there is a clear and precise form. The form stands and shows depth and give the photo a 3D effect. The 3D effect really shows off the form and of the shell and so do the lines on the shell all these features help show off the form of the photo and really allows the viewer to see the detail and true shape of the shell.

Natural light and colour - the natural light in this photo helps its form to be clearly seen and the lack of colour, black and white, also helps to show the form of the photo. 

The use of  light and shadows has helped to show the form of the photo, if light that was too strong was used in the photo then all of the toes would not be seen and the form wouldn't be seen. 

The use of colour in the background has  been well used as it helps to show off the form and gives the photo depth and the different tones of the colour help to show of the form well.

Having the main focus point in the middle of the photo helps show form because to viewers eyes are instantly drawn to shape of the photo and how the form has been photographed

Personal Defintion - how an object is seen as 3D due to the shadows and different lighting.
