Motion_Depth_ Perceptions on New York- Crit 2

1. Nocturnal Life- Situated next to a frequented bus stop in New York, I believe in Manhattan; the idea was to
capture street life being pedestrian friendly at all hours; F16 with 2 seconds was used. The Camera was placed on a
Bus sill and left on self timer, a Cannon AE-Program was the model used.

Attempts on Postmodernism as theory/practice*

2. Nuage Gris*- A Mute Hyper Modern tribute to Stephane Mallamre's poem "The Faun"; the place is a Episcopalian church in
Houston's Downtown area. A ceremony was taking place during a certain holiday that will go unnamed. However, a normal day was skewed into a noted reality, as one of Mallarme's Poem, Mallarme focused on Greek themes of nymphs flying in between his desires and thoughts, a sort of duality of metaphysical and physical actions being simultaneously from thought to execution; in a way this photo was an execution towards a Mallarmerian attempt from poem to photo. f11 1/60 shutter speed.

3. Tribute to Gursky*- Gursky famously shot the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York, his autonomous method was however denied in my attempt to capture pathways as object. The museum contains a fluid ramp system that raps a courtyard open space within the museum. Instead of capturing the ramp at its entirety, two parts of the museum was captured as form, like the back of a women's back, this seperation from autonomy to subjective normalism was opted; towards a tribute to Gursky. f1.4 1/60second

4. Bleach Water Space- The place is Coney Island, afters it fame dwindled it became a dead space; Coney Island is in its revitalization proccess, during that proceess things are laid bare and with out "flare" An iconic place is now seen as a decaying
pop image. The idea was to capture the icon ats it eroded state. f/22 1/120 second

critique #2

1) The first photo was taken on the last floor of a parking garage. In the center of the image is a cup, filled with tapioca balls, which was left there by some inconsiderate person. This photo is a part of the shots needed to be taken for the varied aperature. The Shutter speed sued was 1/250, and the aperature BT 5.6-8.

2) Outside of Freebirds World Burrito, this photo was taken. The shuttter spees is 1/250 and the aperature was set to 16.

3) Working with motions, this photograph was taken in a parking garage. Cars passing by were the ideal objects to work with. In the center of this image is a van. The shutter speed 2 and my aperature was 32.

4)This last photograph was taken inside the HCC Central Main buildings, aperature being 1/250 and the aperature 16.

Photo Critique #2

Critique Assignment #2

Photograph #1: I chose to take a picture of three posts for my depth in field shot. I felt that the simplicity of the three posts gave a clear perception of the depth by my focusing on the first pole and still capturing the poles behind the first. I took the picture at an angle to make sure that the other poles were visible. The position of the poles away from any other attention grabbing objects I felt would help in identifying the depth perception.

Photograph #2: For this depth in field photograph I chose to take a picture of three trees that were in line. Again I focused on the first tree closest to me so that again I could capture the depth in field. I chose these trees from my neighborhood park that my daughter and I like to walk to. I used different apertures to show how it made a difference on what you meant to draw attention to. There is more clarity in what I focused in on with the different apertures.

Photograph #3: I took this picture of moving cars while sitting in one position while the car passed by the park. I chose to take this picture to capture an everyday motion that we see each day. We spend hours in our cars and thought this would be a perfect example of motion. I used different shutter speeds to try and capture the motion.

Photograph #4: My second photo is a picture of my daughter running on the track. We enjoy walking and running while at the park and decided this was the perfect opportunity of capturing motion with the camera. I think the best setting for this photo will be F8 @ 1/250. I also attempted panning to see if I could pick up some streaks with the motion.

DEVI!

I have your camera. Do not fret. I can give it to you Saturday, or we can coordinate a time between now and then. E-mail me.

Critique # 1 – Photogram 1
Flying Beauty


My objects in this photogram were leaves and statue of a glass butterfly.

In this image selected to do F11 6sec it made my glassed butterfly more detailed by giving it some inner life in the middle.

What I like about this photogram is how the middle of glassed butterfly gives a expression of a life form. Critique #1 – Photogram 2

Madness of Circles

In Madness of Circles, I selected necklace of different sizes of pearls, pearl bracelet and silver bracelet with a letter k attached to it.
In this image I selected to do F11 6 seconds, I like how the light hit the pearls making the some the pearls look darker and lighter
Critique #1 – Photogram 3

Structural Lines

Photogram 3 I selected to do art pencils in which some pencils has designs on the outside of the pencils.

In this image I selected to do F11 6 sec it gives more detail on my design pencils than going to 3 seconds or going darker. I arrange my pencils horizontal and vertical.

On this photogram I like how the light hit the pencils giving it a negative effect on more than others.
