Capturing Motion!!

Describe: Jake and paul moving in opposite directions that are blurred so are moving quickly in front of some trees at school. paul is doing a cartwheel, and jake is doing a somersault 

Analyze: it is a straight angle and used a low shutter speed to make the males blurred. the background is still in focus and there is a contrast between paul and jake, the boys and the trees, and the trees and the background. 

Interpret:  the moving together as one signifies togetherness, and the contrast in their clothes could stand as yin and yang?? i just thought the shot would be cool

Judge: It is a great shot, it was caught in the climax of both rolls. it is accomplished in being unified.

depth of field

Describe: A girl laying down in front of a truck on the side of the road. looks as ifs she's unconscious, but cant really tell because she's blurred.

Analyze:it's a flat angle, it seems that it wasn't printed correctly because the whole photo is blurred out and it seems as if the truck was only supposed o be in focus.

Interpret: she could have just been hit by this truck and has passed out. or has given up on life and just layed down to get it all over with.

Judge:If the whole picture wasn't blurred, and just the truck, or just the girl, then it might be a good photo. since it's not, its a fairly bad photo. also next time to get a bit more light on the girl for more contrast

away from society

Describe: a girl squatting on a hill in front of some buildings. she seems to be just thinking about things. 

Analyze: The picture seems to be taken from a higher angle. there isn't much of a contrast in colors. the scratches and dust marks make it seem like it's an older photo. 

Interpret: she seems to be a taking a break. just sitting there with her eyes closed just listening to the world. she's away from the buildings and on the dirt so maybe wants to get back to nature.

Judge: a little bit contrast, along with more plants, may have brought the idea of getting away from society out a bit more. so the work was not all that successful. 

hidden

ok, first off, sorry about the sideways photo, forgot to rotate it. 

describe: ok, so in this pic, my lovely model is hidden behind the tree. her body is somewhat blocked by leaves, and there are many shadows. 

Analyze:The girl is in focus, while some of the leaves are not. the background behind her seems a bit fuzzed. there is a slight discoloration under/on the model. it has a somewhat mischievous tone to her because she's hidden behind the tree.

Interpret: the girl could symbolize goals in life and the leaves could represent the obstacles between us and the goal. or it could be of someone hiding their true feelings, and the leaves are what are blocking our feelings in.

Judge: the photo was a success. the contrast in the leaves gives the picture a sense of difference and hides the girl a bit more as if she was hiding herself. It has a blur on the girl to lighten her up, and the blur brings a bit of a sense of coming into focus with the world.
