Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
1) Pick the photo that stands out to you as the strongest composition. Explain why you think it's stronger than the rest?
2) What are the two most important compositional considerations should you take into account when you're working with still life subjects?
3) How could you set up a similar situation and get similar results here in class or at home?
I think the strongest composition is option 1, because of the way the lighting is. I think that the most important compositional subjects are contrast and form. To get similar results to this photo, I would shine a spot light down onto an object. -Moon, K
ReplyDeleteI think option 2 because its hard to tell what it is and it makes you have to think hard about what it could be. The two most important compositional considerations are lighting and form. To get similar results you could set up the lighting to look the same and have a similar negative space.
ReplyDeleteShaw, T
In my opinion i think that option #3 is the strongest, I think it's the colors that are really standing out to me. I think that contrast and form are the most important when dealing with still life. To set this up at home you need to grab a lamp for some of them and light up some of the points of the photo.-Murphy,c
ReplyDeleteThe photo that stands out to me as the strongest is option 3 because of the selective choice of the lighting. I think the two most important things to take into account are angle and distance away from the object. You could set up a similar situation here or at home with an object on a table or floor and a spotlight which you can adjust to change the mood of the picture.
ReplyDeleteWebb.R
option two, because it is up front and center, very focused the light is casted on it rather then just there. camera angle, and contrast. I could turn out the lights in a room and use a lamp to light up the object.
ReplyDelete-Nelson, G
Option 2, I like the abstract point of view and the lighting really brings all the little details. Lighting and angle are probably two of the most important things to make sure you have perfect; this photographer was able to make something that is not super interesting and make it into a cool photo. use a spotlight, different shots/angles.
ReplyDeleteAgee-V
I like Option 2. I like this photo because it provides a lot of contrast with the background and the actual object/subject in the photo. The photographer has also made this photo abstract because it is hard to tell what the photo is. And this photo also has a close camera angle. When taking still life photos it is important to consider camera angle and lighting in the photo. And also how close or far you are from the photo. When taking still life photos the photographer has complete control of the image. To set up a similar situation, I would go into a darker room, but have a lamp to add emphasis on the subjects of my photos. This photographer used tools of different kinds, but a variety of objects could be used.
ReplyDelete-Brianna Higashihara
I think the 2nd photo has the strongest composition. It is different that the other 3 because it isn't of the whole object, but it is zoomed in really close. The two most important compositional techniques in still life photos are camera angle and lighting. You could set up a similar situation by getting this tool and going in a dark room, but create emphasis on the tool with a lamp.
ReplyDeleteHolli Cook
I choose option 3 because I like the selective focus and how you have to look at it for a minute to realize exactly what it is. The two things you should consider when working with still life objects are camera angle and lighting. Without these these things being interesting, the entire picture could be uninteresting. To do this at class or at home, you could go out into the wood shop or in your garage and place some sort of tool on a clear table top, then take pictures of it at different camera angles and with different lighting.
ReplyDelete-Anna Z
1) The photo that stands out to me with the strongest composition is Option 3. I think that Option 3 is stronger than the rest because, in my mind, it's more intense than the other photos.
ReplyDelete2) I think that the two most important compositional considerations that should be taken into account when working with still life objects is contrast, unity, and movement.
3) I think that you could set up a similar situation and get similar results here in class or at home by using a light and a kitchen utensil or object. -N. Hugo
Option 2 stands out the most to me because it's so bright and so clothes I can't really tell what it is and that really interests me. You should think about the lighting and and the balance to make sure there isn't to much going on that people don't know what they are supposed to be looking at. I could take a object I find cool and set it in a place with lots of light or create my own light and zoom in on/get closer to the object and take a picture and have people guessing what it is.
ReplyDelete-G Hays
Close up picture stands out the most. It shows you in detail how this object is made. The focus of the object, its important to have a good crisp picture also with good lighting it can range from low key lighting to high key lighting. In order to get a similar picture in class you will need to set up the lighting in the proper angle. -Francisco Ferreyra
ReplyDeleteI think option 3 has the strongest composition because it stands out to me and if I didn't have the other pictures I wouldn't really know what it is. I think the two most important compositional considerations you should take into account when your working with still life is texture and where you place your object.You could set up a similar situation by putting a background and having a medal pice and taking a picture of it close up.
ReplyDeleteVan Voorhis.K
I think Option 2 stands out the most to me, and it is stronger than the rest because of the selective focus, and the abstraction of the photo. Two most important compositional techniques are camera angle and the lighting of the photo. I could set the object on a table in a room that is dark and only have a lamp on it to create the lighting in the photos.
ReplyDeleteI think option 2 has the strongest composition because it stands put to me the most from all 4 options, and if you didn't have the other options you probably couldn't tell what the object is.The most important composition considerations are texture and placement. To get similar results is to just have a good background and take it close up.
ReplyDeleteI like option 2. I like how it's abstract in a way and the light and dark values just make everything really pop. The two most important things are lighting and the way you set up things. You could pick something like a lantern and take pictures from different angle's and close up and far away.
ReplyDeleteWille, Mackenzie
I believe the second photo has the strongest composition.They positioned the photo to appear closer made it stand out, along with the brightness. Lighting and camera angle.
ReplyDeleteYou may put a spot light on the subject.
Miller, S.
1. I like option three because it shows a goood leading line to the object the picture is of.
ReplyDelete2. Light and the placement of the object.
3. All these photos can really be done with any other object.
Tanner Leitner
period 1
1: I choose option one it stands out more to me and its more stroger then the other photos.
ReplyDelete2: light and the object
3: get your own spot light at home or use the ones here at school.
Aplanalp T
I think the second photo is stronger then the rest. Mainly because you can't tell what the object is at a first glance and the lightness really stands out. I believe the most important compositional techniques when creating still life photos is the brightness and the camera angle. To set up a similar situation I would set a black cloth over a table and have a nearby light source set up aswel.
ReplyDelete(Stroh, H)
Picture stands out to me the most because it is the most abstract and detailed. When working with still life subjects, you should definitely consider camera angle and camera distance. These techniques give you a more unique and interesting point of view on the still life subject. Using a spotlight and making a setup of a still life subject or subjects is a way to create a similar situation at home or school.
ReplyDelete-Allison Kirk
I feel like option 1 is the strongest because the lighting and framing is great. Two most important compositional considerations would be the lighting and the setting of where you place the subject. You could set up a light and a backdrop to make the same results. Smalley,C
ReplyDelete1) I like option 1 of the meat grinder the best. I like the angle of it and how crisp the picture looks.
ReplyDelete2) The two to take into consideration would be lighting and angle.
3) I would take an object and position it in different angles and take pictures of that angle with a bunch of different lighting options and see how they turned out.
1.) I think option two stands out to me as an abstract image, if there weren't images showing you it's a grinder for meat, you would have no idea what option two would be of.
ReplyDelete2.) Lighting, and Angle
3.) With black paper or cardboard, and a lamp preferably that you can adjust easily.
(Shearer, M)
I like option # 3 because you can pretty much tell what it is with light shining in some places while casting shadows in others.
ReplyDeleteTwo important compositional techniques you should be aware of are lighting and angle while taking still life pictures.
Turn off all lights and set up a lamp from the side and get a high angle shot of an old timey item.
Stiff, G
I think Option 3 has the strongest composition with the selective focus. I think the two most important compositional considerations are the angle it's shot at and the focus. I like how he made a simple meat grinder so intriguing, it doesn't even look like a meat grinder in Option 2. Who knew a meat grinder could be so artistic? I think I could set up ordinary objects but with certain lighting, angle and focus I could make it look more complex and intriguing. (Stewart, S)
ReplyDeleteoption 3 stands out the most to me, it is very strong. it is also abstract, like it might be a sharpener but i dont know.
ReplyDeletelighting is a huge one, you need good lighting. and angle of the photo is going to be HUGE
i could move the objects around, if i wanted to get the same photos i would move my lighting around.
schumacher, michael
1. I like the option 2 because you can't really tell what it is. I think it looks cool.
ReplyDelete2. You should take into account the lighting you take the picture in and the angle of the camera .
3.you could get the same effect if you can get the right lighting and i would say if you use a tripod when taking the picture too.
Beebe M.
I think that option three is the strongest. It shows a completely different view of the meat grinder compared to all the other photos.It shows the entire meat grinder but in a different perspective then all the other pictures. The two most important compositional considerations are balance and form. To get similar situations you should focus on light and focus for each picture. Each photo should also be a different perspective of the item.
ReplyDeleteFord,J
1. I think option three has the strongest composition because of the angle it was taken at, the lighting, and the focus of the photo.
ReplyDelete2. The two most important compositional considerations you should take when working with still life subjects is the backdrop and the lighting.
3. You could set up a similar situation by having a dark backdrop and a light set up to you can adjust where the subject is being lit.
Thomas, S.
1. Option 2 stands out to me the most to me. I like the texture and how i don't exactly know what the picture is of.
ReplyDelete2. Unity and shape
3. I could get up close to something shiny and metallic and then take a picture of it with a spotlight.
H. Botts
The option 2 photo is the strongest, because you can't quite tell what it is. The abstract pattern is very eye-catching. The most important compositional considerations for a still life photo is contrast and pattern, in my opinion. To set up a similar situation at home, find tools to take photos of. Use a dark background.
ReplyDeleteVitek,M.
1. The photo that stands out the most to me is the third picture. I think it's the strongest because the lighting is good and I like the big handle right in the front with the selective focus on other thing in the back.
ReplyDelete2. The two most important compositional techniques when working with still life is lighting and the angle of the camera.
3. You could set up a similar situation by putting an object under a lighting with selective focus. You put something under a lamp and selective focus a certain part of the object.
Walker, C
1. I think the second photo stands out the most because of the black backdrop and the contrast of the gold and the lighting. It also is the only picture that is close up and you can't exactly tell what it is, which makes it even more interesting.
ReplyDelete2. The two most important compositional techniques are probably contrast, and lighting as well as camera angle.
3. You could take a still life photo by taking an object and placing it on a background with good lighting that can be adjusted.
george, serena
1. The strongest composition picture is option 3 because it has a leading line and a selective focus spot.
ReplyDelete2. The two most important compsitional techniques in still life subjects are leading lines and selective focus because it really focuses on the object and can get close shots and far shots.
3.You can sit a object up and get a lamp and change lighting and position object or camera different ways.
Lyon.M
1. I think the first one is the strongest because you can actually see the entire object and can tell what it is.
ReplyDelete2. Probably camera angle and camera distance to subject.
3. You could just grab a random object and set it in the right lighting and take pictures of it.
Allen, C.
Option number two was the the photos that stood out to me as the strongest composition. I think that it is the strongest because of the warm colors and the focus of the camera. There is a large object close to the camera but it is focused out which pulls my eyes to the rest of the object. I think that the two most important compositional consideration are camera focus and angle. Because with out those two two there would be no affect to the photos being taken.
ReplyDelete1. Option 3, because it's not the whole tool, but you can get a good idea of what it looks like as a whole tool, and the way the light hits it with the background looks great.
ReplyDelete2. I think the 2 most important compositional factors are lighting and angle when working with still life.
3. Put an object up on a surface, and find the best angle that supports the lighting, and looks good, then take a picture.
Barker, A
1. Option number 3 stands out to me the most because the lighting is bright and clear and I like how there is a main focus and is a crisp and clear photo. I also really like the angle.
ReplyDelete2. The two most important compositional techniques would maybe be the lighting in the image and the angle and the way you shoot the image.
3. Make sure the lighting is set right on the image for capturing the image and make sure the surface is clear and to have main focus point.
Maguire, K
1) I feel like option number 3 has the most compositions. I see a leading line, close proximity, a little bit of soft focus but more selective focus, rule of thirds and the last composition I recognize is straight on.
ReplyDelete2)You should consider the lighting and framing. Also how close you are to the object.
3)You could turn off the lights and have a spot light on the object you're trying to take a picture of and try focusing on the object.
Samimifar, T
I think option 3 stands out the most to me compositionally. It has movement and leading lines with the handle and the shadows. It looks like it has some selective focus and follows the rule of thirds. I think you should keep lighting and framing in mind when you are taking still life pictures. At home, I could play with lighting and use a lamp to manipulate the lighting to make the picture better compositionally.
ReplyDeleteS, Moore
1) The photo that stands out to me is the option 2 because the photo has Close-Proximity and and is has lot of different parts are focus and some are not focus. It has lines and leading you to something.
ReplyDelete2) You should considers the object that are meaningful to u and mick the lighting go with it.
3) turn off the lights and put an spot light on the object you are using.
Cruz.L
1. I think Option 3 is the most powerful than the others. Just angle that it's at and the way it is shown, I just like that.
ReplyDelete2. Soft and Sharp Focus
3. The way that you set it up and have the light on the object is what matter.
Campbell, T
1) Option three, to me, has a stronger composition than the rest. The selective focus, angle, and details of the back of the grinder carry an impact.
ReplyDelete2) Lighting, subject matter, location, and angle. I feel that those are some of the biggest factors in a still life.
3) Using a fairly blank background, a form of foreground to place objects on, and contained an controllable light source, such as a lamp, in order to draw focus to certain objects in the still life is a good place to start. Beyond that, composition really falls prey to the subject matter and positioning of objects in relation to each other.
-J, Brown
1. Option 3, selective focus
ReplyDelete2. Camera angle and lighting.
3. Turn off the lights or use a black/white curtain as a backdrop. Use a spotlight directly on the object.
Steele, J.
1. Number 3 has the strongest composition. It has different techniques like rule of thirds, leading lines, and stronger photo because of the dramatic shadows.
ReplyDelete2. The two most important are angle, and low light/high light
3. Using the same equipment and lighting.
K.C. Lopez
Definitely the first photo, not only because of the most obvious angle, but also because without this photo, you would not know what the other photos are without this photo.
ReplyDeleteThe two compositional considerations are definitely high/low key, and camera angle.
You could easily achieve the same result by controlling the lighting and the camera angle.
Sparks, L.
Cox, S.
ReplyDelete1) Photograph #2 is the strongest compositional image out of the 4. There is selective focus, theres a little rhythm, and the camera distance is pretty close.
2) Lighting, and camera angle/distance to subject.
3)Put an object on a table, and set it up differently, using the compositional techniques.
1. option number 2 because it has a better color and pops more
ReplyDelete2. sharp focus and rule of thirds
3. use a similar photo or object idea you had in class and stick with it when you go home
Taylor Schwindt
1.) I like option two because it's a detailed photo of the meat grinder. You can't tell what it is.
ReplyDelete2.) I think it's angle and focus.
3.) Change the lighting in your room and also your background.
Devyn Glenn
1.) I like option 2 because the lighting is different than the others and the in=mage is abstract.
ReplyDelete2.) One is angle and focus/lighting
3.) I could change the lighting and background
Goldspink, X
1) Number 2, because it isn't as easily known. It seems strange, mystique.
ReplyDelete2) Clarity, even in chaos. The photo should be clear, even if it is only the texture, not necessarily the subject matter.
3) Sep 1: Purchase a meat grinder....
Nathan Matthews
Photo number 2 stands out to me the most because it is a close up and you can't really tell what it is. So you can make your own meeting to the photo. I think that you should really make sure the photo is in focus and make sure the space behind the object isn't distracting. You could take something from the floor and put it on the table or you could really use anything in the school as a still object.
ReplyDeleteChastain, M.
1.) Option four to me stands out the most because of the dark background and the contrast.
ReplyDelete2.) That they will move and your shutter-speed should be lower and also the angle of the person can be flattering or unflattering while theses photos aren't like that.
3.) Consider the object and what background would most look well on and the contrast that it will have and the effect also.
(Kierra, Campbell)
1. I think option number 2 is the strongest because it's really zoomed in and close up. I think it's the strongest because it shows a lot of texture with how zoomed in it is, and it's really abstract and it's hard to tell what it is.
ReplyDelete2. Camera angle and the lighting seems to play a key roll in still life photography.
3. Take an object and set it somewhere with a dark background and use good lighting to accent the object.
thornhill s
The photo that stands out to me the most is option two because you can't really tell what it is. If you didn't know it was a piece of a meat grinder, you wouldn't guess it. The two most important to me is lighting and camera angle/zoom. You could get the similar picture if you took apart an object, got really close and took a picture.
ReplyDeleteJarmer, A.
1. I would say option #1 stands out to me more because it has the best detail and no blurry areas and it shows the position of how it would maybe work.
ReplyDelete2. The two most important would be the sharp detailed shots and zoomed close shots.
3. I can use something interesting has multiple components to show its usage and how.
-Hegel, A
I like the first picture the best because of the low key lighting and angle of the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe angle of the photo.
By picking a random object and change the lighting.
Devyn McVicker
1.- The first one because you can see a full object.
ReplyDelete2. Contrast, its a close up, guiding lines.
3.-Taking a picture of an object and then taking photos of its different parts.
ciriza, Francisco
1. I think 4, because there is a lot of contrast. Dark shadows and a lot of lines. It just seems like a more powerful photo of this... meatgrinder.
ReplyDelete2. Having strong focus as well as having a clear, detailed photo seem to be two of the biggest techniques I noticed.
3. Make sure the lighting is really strong and also there needs to be strong focus and contrast.
Kameron Bates :~)
1. I pick the 3rd photo because it is very bright and it has selective focus.
ReplyDelete2. High lighting and good focus.
3. Set props up and find the right lighting.
Slack C
I like option 2 the best, I enjoy it because it has a lot of detail. The compositional techniques are close up and camera angle down. I could set up a simillar situation by getting a tool and some black paper.
ReplyDeleteNelson, s.
the fourth one. distance, down angle, rule of thirds, etc. positioning.
ReplyDeletehecker, jacob
1) I pick the third photo because it has very high lighting and selective focus. I think it's stronger than the rest because the handle really pops out at you.
ReplyDelete2) High lighting and make sure the space behind it isn't distracting.
3) Find the right lighting and set up props.
Brandon, Marissa
I think the photo with the strongest composition and that stands out to me the most is option three. I think it has a more dramatic 3-D sensation.
ReplyDeleteThe two most important composititonal consideration should I take into account is placement and lighting.
I could get a similar situation and similar results with a spotlight on an object.
DeMers, Victoria
1. Option 2 stands out to me because it is hard to tell what it is,
ReplyDelete2. Moving the camera around to give you a different sense and view, not just taking photos looking down. (boring)
3. I could get the same results at home by moving the camera around in different composition and having more control with photos.
-Curtis, Andrew
Option 2 stands out to me the most because its more abstract then the other options. Things used are close up and selective focus. You can put a spot light on an object and move the camera in different angles to get different perspectives.
ReplyDeleteWillhite, A
1) The photo that I picked out was option 1 because it's my strongest composition.
ReplyDelete2) framing and making it look good.
3) I would try to find some things that would work for still life around my home.
1. The second picture because it's brighter and the lettering sticks out to me.
ReplyDelete2. The lighting and angle.
3. Use a tripod to help set the angle and the right amount of light
Maughan Sam
1) Pick the photo that stands out to you as the strongest composition. Explain why you think it's stronger than the rest?
ReplyDeleteOption three. I think that this image is stronger than the rest because the way that the lighting is in this photograph makes it look very strong and dominant.
2) What are the two most important compositional considerations should you take into account when you're working with still life subjects?
For me, I feel that both the angle and lighting of a photograph are the most important compositional techniques in still life photography.
3) How could you set up a similar situation and get similar results here in class or at home?
You could use artificial lighting, such as a lamp or something that produce the light that you want, and after, all you need to do is figure out your angle you want it at.
-Montenna Morrison
1) I like option three because it is taken at a strong angle for the piece and has an interesting lighting to make the color stand out.
ReplyDelete2) Lighting and angle in which you take the photo are important in still life.
3) At home you could take one simple item, find a good angle and adjust the lighting as needed to get a similar photo.
(Brown, K)
I think the second photo stands out because I like how the negative space is completely black and it has very strong leading lines and great lighting. Lighting and the angle are very important. You can use a dark room and a lamp and set the lighting and angle for the photo.
