decisive moments

















I was asked to go and take pictures of decisive moments. in the picture on the left the position that he is in is very percerios, if he doesnt get the trick right he could fall and hert himself so in that second he has to do somthing about it this is what makes it a decisive moment.

In the picture on the right the man is performing a skatebored trick in the air the blurd focues and the sun shining brightly on him suggests movment, and what he does in that second could change his life.

portaiture


at first i thought that this photo would be a decisive moment but scott was asked to perform this action and because of that it is a portrait. that you can not see his face could suggest it is not.

These two pictures have been taken by Robert capa the first one is from the assault on the Normandy Beach's on d-day. In that picture he has taken it from behinde that men that actualy fighting to sujests a charge.

This picture is of a spainish civil war fighter dying. the effect this can have on some people when they see this is terible, it shows you the grim truth of war. in most of robert capa's picture he has tried to encupsulate this.

uban vs nature

i took a picture of the library with the sun shining through a gap in the cloued, you can see the light spectrum as well.
This picture by David Hockney is many photos joined together to create a landscape photo the flow of the picture draws you toward the back of the scene and the golden 3rd is right in the middle of the picture where he was put the brightest bits of it.

notes from lesson

in Thursdays lesson i learnt about the golden 3rd and the rule of thirds, the golden 3rd is the part of the picture (normaly the middle) that has the most informasion in it. also people in westen parts of the world look at pictures in a Z type pattern, this has been proven. people in other part of the world (eg. china) read in a downwards patter. photography itself was invented in the 19th century by a french man called nicephore niepce, but because his photo took so long to develope (8 hours) he sort after a faster way to produce them.
