My Photos
- What is the main subject? The main subject of this photo is the NU scene shop, off the side of the theatre. It's where all the paint, wood, tools, and other supplies are kept.
· What is the main subject? The main subject of the photo is a pink flower in the garden outside the NU science rooms. The flower is perfectly in focus; however, there are additionally subjects in the background that are out of focus. A boy and a girl are sitting on a bench, and you are unable to identify their expressions due to the out of focus background.
· Why did I take this picture? What does it mean to me? I've been looking for emotions around me for a long time, and one day I saw the perfect oppurtunity. I wanted a photo of people intereacting, but I wanted it to not be of people at the same time. With this photo, I had a pink flower, which I interpreted to represent innocent love; and the "couple" in the background to reinforce my interpretation of love.
· How does the photo focus attention on the main subject? The photo focuses attention on the flower by keeping only the plant in the foreground in focus, while blurrying out the background and additional subjects.
· What are the elements of design that make the picture "work?" This is another example of utilizing the rule of thirds for more interesting photos. Additionally, the focus and out of focus variety in it really makes the message "work" and the interpretation of young love come through.
· How could this photo be improved? This photo could be improved by maybe making the background in focus as well - I tried taking some photos where both the foreground and background were in focus, but the scene didn't seem to flow as well. It also might have been improved by just having the flower and people in the photo and cropping out the grass - it somewhat distracts from the message.
