Homework using the 1st PS tutorial...

I used two of my personal pictures. The background is in Rabat, Morocco. The picture of the two people was on the side of a mountain of my friend and a little girl from a small village in Morocco's mountains.

Isolation

Contrast

Movement-Dynamics

I believe this one is Movement-Dynamics because you focus on the ladies face then you see that she is alone.

Placement

I took a picture of my friends foot on the beach. I thought it looked interesting with the bright blue chair in the background.

Movement-Dynamics

This is my dog. I´ve had him since I was 10 years old and picked him out at the pound. I´m now 22, do the math. I took this photo at night on the front porch. He obviously didn´t like the camera flash.

Nonpattern

This is a picture of the back of a chair I took in Wilmington at an Oyster Bar.

Human Reference:
I used this picture of my friends daughter Maya and her dad sitting to the right in the background. It gives an idea of size. She’s a baby but yet she looks bigger than her adult father. They are also focused in the same direction and look as if they are in the same thought.



Context:
I took this picture from the mac screen. It was the reflection of the blinds and my hands in the background.




Internal Object (to picture plane):
I took this photo at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. You cannot tell the size of what is through the open window hole. Which is bigger than what it appears.




Contrast:
I took this picture at the Cliffs of Mohr in Ireland. The upper region contains the most contrast in the picture because the image of the rainbow. Then the clouds color is changed to a lighter grey than the background sky. The closer image of the ground is very vivid and has stronger highlights.

Figure-Ground:
I took a picture of this restaurant entrance in Lille, France. The reason why it is a figure-ground image is because it looks as if there is a glass door with the images painted on it, however it’s a long hallway with paint on the side of the walls.



Axial/bilateral Symmetry:
This image is two red cups that were sitting in a blue wired basket. The bright colors and the lines on the basket make it seem equal as if it were on an axis.





Radial symmetry:
I took this picture in Granada, Spain which was spray painted on a street wall. The image represents radial symmetry because of her hair. The artist used the idea of snails being her hair and making it look like a big curled bun.




Asymmetry:
I took the photo of the bench at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh. It represents asymmetry because although the bench is the same symmetrically on both sides. The way the photo was taken they don’t look equal on both sides.

Part 2 Categories of Imagery

Rhythm:
9. Pattern- repetition of an image
10. Non-pattern- non-repetition of an image
11. Movement/dynamics- Dynamics are about movement, specifically the viewer's eye as it looks at a photograph. When looking at a photograph, your eye naturally moves from one object to another. Hopefully, that movement begins with the most important subject and then to the less important details of the photograph
12. Movement/direction - When the subject is capable of movement, such as an animal or person, it is best to leave space in front of the subject so it appears to be moving into, rather than out of, the photograph.
Emphasis/focal point:
13. Contrast - A light subject will have more impact if placed against a dark background and vice versa. Contrasting colors may be used for emphasis, but can become distracting if not considered carefully.
14. Isolation - It is the way in which you somehow have something, but do not have it, that offers the greatest potential.
15. Placement- the object in the image or subject that is being represented or focused on.
16. Absence - something is missing a since of emptiness

Part 1 Categories of Imagery

Balance:
1. Figure-ground- In visual perception, figure-ground is a type of perceptual organization in vision that involves assignment of edges to regions for purposes of
The differentiation between the foreground and the background of a scene; this refers to all sensory systems, including vision, hearing, touch.

2. Axial/bilateral symmetry
Axial Symmetry- Axial symmetry is symmetry around an axis; an object is axially symmetric if its appearance is unchanged if rotated around some axis in a way.
Bilateral Symmetry- a basic body plan in which the left and right sides of the organism can be divided into approximate mirror images of each other along the midline
3. Radial Symmetry - A form of symmetry, arranged equally in all directions from a central point, thus any plane through the central point will divided into mirror image pieces. Characterizing a body shaped like a pie or barrel, with many equal parts radiating outward like the spokes of a wheel; present in cnidarians and echinoderms.
4. Asymmetry- Want of symmetry, or proportion between the parts of a thing, especially want of bilateral symmetry; Incommensurability; That which causes something to not be symmetrical. not identical on both sides of a central line.
Scale/Proportion:
5. Human Reference – to show scale… the use of a human in a design to show a scale and an object. So the viewer can comprehend the proportion.
6. Context- consists of capturing context when taking a still picture, by sensing physical input in addition to light and representing it visually in real time. With this new concept, we explore alternative potentials of the digital camera as an everyday creative tool. We have developed a context photography application that.. Consists of capturing more than incoming light in an image, i.e. the context. Information about the physical context is gathered from various sensors and visually affects pictures as they are taken. The context camera therefore not only takes pictures of the visual scenery, but also of invisible things in its surroundings - such as sound and movement - in real time. As
Opposed to other projects registering context by augmenting photographs with e.g. audio [1][2], a context camera opens up a new dimension of what can be captured on a photograph by using sensor-based data to directly influence the appearance of the resulting picture. For instance, in a noisy environment, images will get a certain visual effect whereas in a quiet environment the pictures will look different. With the help of real-time image processing and rendering, this new type of pictures is created on the spot as opposed to the usual post-hoc image processing. This means for example that users can take still pictures that give a sense of movement or get a certain tint in a picture by producing sounds, for example by whistling, talking or screaming. The context camera enables you to interact in an untraditional way to take a new kind of pictures.
7. Internal (object to picture plane)- can’t tell the size of it until it is placed into another object. Ex. Pebble inside a river, or a pebble on the moon. By telling the object, you’re depicting its size. Trick the viewer.
Picture plane- two-dimensional picture surface
8. Contrast- is the dissimilarity or difference between things, telling that something is larger or smaller in contrast.
