I read this assignment at the beginning of the week, and had plans for taking pictures of geese flying off, water moving through ice, and several other things. I thought more and more about it without rereading the assignment which warped the assignment in my head into how to demonstrate motion has been there. I also didn’t want to pose photos of motion which are the two points I went sideways on the assignment and should have reread it.
The geese flying overhead should have been zoomed in more and I should have followed them blurring the sky more as I traced their motion.
I think trying to spin along with the fan would have been entertaining though perhaps contributing to dizziness. I was trying to get the blur of motion with more light on the blades without blinding out the brightness of the sky.
I actually really like the pottery wheel image. Though the colors are similar I do feel it has enough brightness and contrast to make it interesting.
The car was an attempt of getting a car going through the roundabout, though it turned up the street. It had been the only car in around five minutes so I didn’t want to wait around in those temperatures to get another car. I should have though as I drove off there were several cars in that round about with me.
I had thought my husband taking that left turn would blur his hands more while keeping his body in that torqued position. It was brighter than it looked.
Contrail was the thinking too deeply about what motion is and how to show it. I think if I was redoing it I would try to get the actual jet going through the sunset.
After class turned out better than I hoped as the family hadn’t been meant to be in the photograph. They walked up as I was trying to get my husband walking across the courtyard. They all have different paces and postures and I absolutely loved that all of their legs are blurred at different spots .
Splish is dumping various dice into double bowls of water. I was trying to get the splash up. I needed a different background to get it clearly.
The cardinal kept hopping around. He’s clearly ready to keep going.
I do really like moving water and lights shining through it. Once again I wish I had set a different background up so that the water and steam would be more apparent and the background was less distracting.
More steam in a noir graphic novel setting. I didn’t set myself up evenly . I would have cropped but it had been said that cropping wasn’t wanted.
Phyllis Taylor has this incredibly lit and paused stop action of a water droplet falling. There are a lot of artists out there that have similar images. It’s a bit of a photography trope. I have spoken with photographers who have done it in the past and it’s usually a process of a contained space and light.
I didn’t try to duplicate it exactly. The lighting and speed would have needed to be much more managed. I did try for the bright colors even if I didn’t try for the flat surface.
