Assignment 1 - lines, shapes, textures and the whole works

Our first assignment took us out on an adventure of capturing the basic subject elements of photography. Of course, within the school compound.

Here are some of my shots..

Of Lines:

Shadowy lines that intersect at interesting angles along AS6

Silhouette of a tree set against the grim looking sky

For Color:

Slippers!

R.G.B

too much white space tho.. could have been better if its a tighter crop on the 3 markers..

For Textures:

Egg trays.

This was shot on 50mm 1.8. Made use of the widest aperture cuz of the bad lighting available.

Looked ok on the screen but when i uploaded on the computer screen i realised tat the depth of field was way too shallow. Did not capture much of the texture as i want it to be.

should've used a smaller aperture to achieve a deeper DOF with the help of some external flash...

but i guess the egg trays are now lying somewhere in Seneko incineration plant.. oh well.. :(

Tree bark

Very normal shot i feel.. could've been better if a macro lens is used..

For Shapes:

the Fire hose.

the Door.

lastly.. for Form!

the "Worm"!

the Masking Tape.

yup. tats abt all for the first assignment.

i think the greatest takeaway for me is that the assignment really makes me look at very mundane objects in a different way.

i think having this quality of turning seemingly mundane objects into interesting subjects of photography will really make u stand out among so many photographers nowadays..
