Good, Bad and Ugly
In this homework task we were told to take pictures that represent good, bad and ugly.
Good
I put this picture under the good category because it contains bright and pretty colours.
|
Bad
I chose to take a picture of this old mannequin which has been left outside for a few weeks and is dirty and worn away in certain places.
|
Ugly
This is a picture of mud and moss at the bottom of a pole which is very dull and unpleasant as there are no bright colours.

The Rule Of Thirds
In class today we were given the task of applying the rule of thirds to our work. To make this successful I had to align my subjects with the guidelines and intersection points and use the horizontal lines to split the picture into three sections that flow together. Then when I go back to class I used photoshop to draw guidelines onto the final image.
Over all I think this first attempt of using the rule of thirds went well because the image flowed from section to section and the placement of my classmates in the picture are both on the vertical guidelines although if I were to re-attempt this task I would make sure I don't move inbetween each picture as shown in the second picture I have moved forward slightly.
Framing The Environment
Today in class we were given a picture frame and were told to use the frame to capture an interesting detail in each picture. I think the first image is interesting because the huge tree looks out of place next to its surroundings which on the left is a brick wall and on the right there is a shadow so you are unable to see whats there. For the second image I found a traffic cone in front of plant covered wall which looks strange as the picture frame blocks out the building to the left so the cone looks misplaced and it's confusing why it' where it is. I found the last image fascinating as there is simply a fence going through a plant and with the frame blocking out the whole image it makes the fence looks useless.
Formal Elements
For this task we were told take photos which resemble different elements. We took these photos in the north wing car park and and behind the DT block, because of this some of the elements were much harder to find such as texture and the and contrast.
Colin Winterbottom
Winterbottom grew up in the suburbs of Washington and has lived in the city for over 20 years now. The photographer is well known for his close up abstract pictures which show the vivid textures of materials from a different up close perspective. In the pictures below Winterbottom has zoomed in on rust which from up close looks much more interesting than from far away as the picture captures the bright colours and all the little details such as small cracks and bits of metal peeling off.

My Response
Here I tried to recreate Winterbottoms work by going into an old art room and found some interesting textures and patterns that looked much more interesting from up close.
