This is a photo of me shaking a white pom-pom against my wall. I found this to be really interesting because of all the lines that the pom-pom makes while it is in movement. It is a chaotic movement that does not really have any kind of rhythm to it. I really like the contrast of the tones. There are only varying tones of white and black here. The one thing I do not really like in this picture is how grainy it is. I think all the movement and lighting caused that.
This photo was fascinating to capture. While taking this photo, I moved my camera quickly from left to right. This resulted in the light posts, poles, and trees appearing to be slanted even though they are all perpendicular to the ground in reality. Movement can alter and twist reality: an interesting concept.
This photo is a tribute to autumn. The red leaves on the right of the frame were falling through the wind when this picture was taken. I love how the photo is clear except for the leaves, which are blurred by their movement. I wish I had been able to capture more leaves across the whole frame!
I think you captured movement quite well in these still photos.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is actually probably my favorite. The space, setting, and details are all ambiguous, so all that I get out of it is purely based on the other visual components (color, shape, and movement) and my emotional reaction to those components. Even though this is ambiguous, because of certain elements (the stringy and complexly curvy shape of the pompom) it still definitely captures movement. I like the effect of this one--and in my opinion that effect is enhanced by the grain and blur.
This photo captures movement because it creates the same feeling as a photo taken from a vehicle moving very quickly. Even though everything in the photo is still, because the camera is moving, there is movement in the photo. I like how well this illustrates that principle.
Interestingly, even though I know the leaves are moving in your third photo, the photo makes them feel very still to me. The motion blur isn't that dramatic, and I'm able to read their shape well, so they feel still. However, capturing something that is moving and making it feel like it's not is definitely still a way to capture movement, and I think it's very interesting and pleasant in this photo--sort of like a freezing of time.
I love the second photo, very cool
