Old image Photography

This historical photo really shows the amount of years in the image it is focused on. The amount of rust and wear on these old machines shows a lot of time and history has gone by as it sits in this same spot for years. The red in the image contrasts beautifully with the blue in the building and the white in the machines. There is a lot of detail in this image and it works very well.

Divergence Photo

I really love the idea of this image in the example of divergence. The photography is done very nicely. I would've done without the black border because it crops the car in a weird way, but I really like how the green car pops out from the old tan building. The reason this image is so different and divergent is because the green pops and is out of place and the man is on top of his car dancing in this very old area. I believes this is a very good example for divergent.

Divergent Photography

So we need to find a photo on divergence and I feel like this is a really easy example on what our teacher is talking about. the one pencil stands out and above the other pencils and if standing out in society compared to its peers. I need to find a photo of something being divergent and capture it in a creative, intriguing way.d

Photography on Technology

This image for the iPhone five is don't very nicely. I don't think it is a true ad for the phone but it could work. The image must of been taken before, then edited in photoshop, and placed on the iPhone's screen. The colors are popping with life and the is so much depth and beauty in the photograph. It would work very well as an advertisement because it shows that the phone takes pictures as close to true color as possible.

Vintage clock on Life or Technology

This image by Eline is absolutely beautiful and vintage looking. The soft colors remind me of the past. I love how the lights in the background come forward with their color but are still very blurred out. I love the amount of detail in the watch as well. It pops out from the background with all its detail. The colors are very warm and this picture really gives the viewer a specific feelings.

Life Photography

I love the colors they based this image off of. It really brings in that full of life feeling in photography. It is very fun feeling and has almost a fantasy feeling to it as well. This picture just makes a person feel good because it brings back the past of when we were children and how important going to the fair was to us.

Striped Portrait

This is such an interesting photograph. I love how they played with the lines coming through the shades or whatever it is. It gives the image such a distinct feel to it. Her hair is so dark but it all contrast so wonderfully with her light body. It has a good line of sight as the image is dark and flows down to the bottom right corner. The lighter space has its own shadows with them also that continue to make this image so nice. I was unable to see who took this photo.

Black and White Umbrella

This is an absolutely beautiful photograph. The different line of sights in this image are so visually interesting. The light reflecting off the metal rods really contrast well against the umbrella in the background. It is very interesting also with how the shadows reflect with the metal rods. I found this image on HDancer's Photos Blog. I love how this image is a closeup and taken at a certain angle that follows the rule of thirds rather than taking the normal ordinary photo of an umbrella.

Cityscape

This is an interesting photo. They photographer took the image at a different angle than we normally see to get a more dynamic view of the city. The image is a little dark so it is hard to see everything, but it is also very interesting. There is no breathing room but it works because it is an art piece in and of itself. There is so much going on with all the different shadows and lights. There is much contrast going on here. I was unable to see who took this image but it is nice.

Cityscape BW

LOVE the reflection of the buildings on the water. The lights of the city are so vibrant and beautiful. The clouds add a beautiful touch to the image as well. I love how dark the image is but how it lights up from the city lights.

BW portrait

This is the kind of portrait I want to take in a way. I love the dark contrast in the image. There is so much detail in the face with the freckles and the eyes. I was thinking of using my boyfriends because he has very blue eyes and a lot of facial hair and I feel like it will shows up very good and the amount of detail on his face with the black and white.

BW anachronism

This is a silly post but it helps give you an idea of what an anachronism is Something of a certain time period placed in a different time period. These two obviously dont go together, because it is a woman from the old times, using modern port-a-potties. The quality of the image is the best. The black and white has no strong contrast and the woman kind of just blends in with the potties. Although it shows a good sense of anachronism, I dont think it is the best photo.

BW city scape

The lighting is wonderful. I love the contrast with the city and the sky. The city is almost a silhouette, against the bottom of the sky. The city is dark but yet you are still able to see the building in a little detail. Also, the way the clouds reflect on the water helps bring out the city and bride as well. There is a big difference between the light and dark and it is shown wonderfully here.

BW Indian

This image is very powerful. The black and white shows all the depth in the wrinkles. This image shows how hardworking this person was and the amount of life they have on their hands. It gives you a certain feeling of beauty. It makes the aging effect on our bodies look beautiful. The way the hand is covering the right eye adds unbalance to the image which in my opinion makes it much more powerful.

BW Light Bulb

 This image is beautiful. The lighting placed on the lightbulb gives a very dark feel, but  a sense of hope. I love how the lightbulb is off centered and the light coming from the bottom right corner leads your eye up to the bulb and out to the corner of the left side where it is dark. There is movement in this piece and a certain mood as well.
