Optical illusions Project

This Project was definitely a challenge for me. Just coming up with the ideas of what my 2 pictures was really difficult for me because i'm more of a lifestyle photographer. My first picture I came up with looking at certain ideas for pictures of google. I had realized that my wooden table in my dinning room looked like a long flame, then I knew my mom had matches. So I lit the match and put it under the flame looking shape on my table. My second picture is big frame I have posted on my wall in my living room of Downtown San Diego. I looked a the water part of the picture and realized I could put a boat in front of it looking like its sitting on the water! So I used one of my little sisters bath tub boats! When my viewers look at this I want them to feel like my pictures are realistic. I think my most proud picture is the flame and the match. I just think it's super ironic that my table in the dinning room had an exact shape of a flame. I think that the top thing you had to do is be CREATIVE in this project.

This project was definitely a challenge for me because it was out of my comfort zone. I took multiple photos and many of them were deleted because I wasn't happy with all of them. The easiest for me was Stop action because I knew exactly at what moment to take it.My best Stop Action was the picture of the milk splashing up in the air. The hardest for me was panning action because you had to follow the car and then capture the right moment. The first three of my panning action are my worst ones and the last two are my best ones. My very last one is my best with the BMW. Peak action was in between it was easy and hard. With this one you had to get the height just right. Overall I am happy with how all of my pictures turned out because I tried really hard to make every picture just right.

"Vintage Point" Project

Normal Eye View

                                                       
                                                     Worm's Eye View

                                           
                                                       Bird's Eye View

My favorite photograph I took was the "Bird's Eye View" I really liked those pictures cause it really makes me feel like im in the picture. I also really like one of my "Bird's Eye View" picture, the very last picture. I like it because it looks very vintage to me. I feel like it almost tells me a story looking down on the chair. The first picture for "Worms Eye View" gives an illusion that is sitting on a glass table surface and the flowers being reflected off of the table. But really the camera is sitting on the perimeter of a pool. Getting familiar with vintage points is good because you learn to take amazing photographs in different angles and views.

                                                                   4. Leading Lines

                                                              5. Rule Of Thirds

                                                                    6. Fill The Frame

                                                                    7. Leading Lines

                                                                     8. Fill The Frame

I think that my top 3 photos are numbers 3, 1, and 6. I picked number 3 for texture because it's filled of different colors and textures. It's looking down into a vase. I picked number one for "Rule of thirds" because if you look closely the two people on the beach aren't in the middle of the picture. And Number 6, I like fore "Fill The Frame" because the picture is really clear and your attention is on the dog. This project took some time to do, I tried really hard to pick just the right ones for the Rules. I constantly had to go over the compositions to make sure I understood it.

Inspirational Photographer

This Picture is by David Braun. I love this picture because it reminds me of something I would watch in an animated movie. It's very clear and I love the colors in it. Theres lots of textured colors like orange, and yellow, green, and blue. If you look at the top of the water it looks like tree branches reflecting off of the water.
