Term 2 - Week 1 - Portfolio - Reflection Self Directed

Reflections in Remuera

F11 1/20 ISO 400. Original. 

I see water, reflection of trees in the pool. I like the colour of the pool. I've used my Canon 700D camera. I've used contrast, cropping, shape, repetition. This image makes me feel happy because I like the composition.
In camera raw I've put the exposure up a little bit because the photo was a bit dark. I've wanted to have it moody.

I've changed this photo in camera raw and made it a bit more brighter than the other one.



I've changed exposure, vibrance, white, blacks, clarity, contrast, highlights and sharpening. 

F11 1/10 ISO 400 Original. 

I see water. Reflection of the trees. I also like the colours of the fish. I see branches which are the same so that means it's repetition. This image makes me happy because I like the contrast. The water is moving because I see movement.

In camera raw I've put the exposure up and the highlights down.

I've changed this photo on camera raw and made it a bit more brighter than the other one.  The lighting looks different and I can see a bit more detail.



In camera raw I've changed the exposure, contrast, vibrance, amounts and sharpening.

I see reflection of one little building and some negative space around this great big building. I've used leading lines, cropping, repetition, shape. I've zoomed right in on the building and took a good close up. This image makes me feel happy because I really like the contrast between the light and dark.


Reflections on Buildings in Greenlane

I've taken this photo of the reflection through this building in Greenlane. I see a bit of sky but not much. I see leading lines, repetition and cropping and shape. Contrast between light and dark. This photo has been shot at 1/60th of a second. The building looks slightly out of focus which was caused by the clouds which are hanging around the building.  The ISO was 400.

Evaluation

I'm working on a theme which is to do with reflection through the buildings and water. I've taken these photos down town before hopping in the boat to go to Waiheke Island. I've taken this building photo on a straight on angle because I've had my camera straight and also held it nice and still.

I think my reflection photo are looking very good. I could improve by figuring out new ways to take photos of reflection and doing something different.

I've not done a lot of experimentation this week when I'm taking my photos. Next week I can use an artist model to help me find different ways to experiment when I'm taking some photos.
