Week 6 - Landscape & Critique
Here's a tried and true way to think about any art when you want to critique it. Ask and answer these questions:
My intention was to capture a sparkling icy day in New England and capture the brilliant colors I saw. I took into consideration Rule of Thirds and Framing as I composed this image. The horizon bisects the bottom third of the image leaving 2/3s for sky. This gives a sense of airiness to this simple winter day. The bright red barn in the Rule of Thirds bottom right position draws the eye into the photo. The vertical tree trunks draw the eye up into the sky to roll around in the clouds and travel back down to the textured foreground. I think the bright contrast of red and blue, although not totally complementary colors, works to add visual pop to the photo. If I was going to change anything it might be to shoot from a slightly different angle to have the road on more of a diagonal and thus give more movement to this image, although the calm of the horizontal road is not totally displeasing.
- What are the artist's intentions?
- What is the process (were there any "happy" mistakes that changed the intention?)
- What is the most successful element of the piece?
- What would you change if you could?

Week 5 - Framing & Rule of Thirds Slideshow
Some examples of Rule of Thirds and Framing from recent shots. I tried to find a variety of examples: landscape, people, wildlife. Some include both elements, can you tell which ones?

Week 2 - Point of View
-->
The Everglades are home to some pretty strange species of flora and fauna. We
were walking through the Fakahatchee Strand State Park a while ago and came across this
strange specimen. This is two different plants, an Oak tree and a Strangler
Fig. The fig is an invasive plant to FL although other species like the Banyan
tree are related to it. In your comment on this blog this week talk about the composition of
this photo, the point-of-view, and comment on how a different p-o-v might have made a
different type of photo.
