This exercise comprises of 4 frames of the same subject shot in different ways: The first photo to be framed should be taken without much thought. the second with the subject tightly fitting in the frame. The third a closeup of part of the subject filling the frame. and finally the last one with the subject in its surroundings. The project is an introduction to different ways of seeing and approaching a subject. The shoots were taken at night under artificial light with the help of a camera popup flash. The sensitivity was set to 100 ISO and the mode was left on aperture priority. the first 3 images were taken with a micro nikkor 105mm, and the last image was shot with a nikkor 14-24mm wideangle zoom lens. The image settings were as follows:
The usual perspective was taken at 1/60sec with the aperture at f/8. -
The frame where the subject fits tightly in the frame was taken at 1/60sec, f/3. -
The closeup frame was set at 1/60, f/4.5. -
The frame placed within the surroundings was taken with the aperture at f/2.8 and shutter set at 1/60sec. -
My favourite photograph of this project is the first one because of the simplicity it conveys. The frame is uncluttered but we can see a small portion of its surroundings. its a clear photograph, perhaps not so artistic or worthy of hanging on the wall but it illustrates the pint of milk well.
Ps - this post was rectified on the 21st of july 2010 for the photography course purposes.
