This pciture is the first of two pictures i came across by Andreas Heuman which linkjed to relfections. I
think this picture is effective because the buildings are so clear and you can
practically see every detail like you were looking at them, rather that the
reflection because the puddle of water is so still and calm. As the image is in
black and white, you are able to see a lot more detail as there aren’t any
bright colours that draw you to a certain point in the picture. The only part
that may catch your eyes is the person’s legs and feet as they are black and
white and the rest of the picture is made up of different shades of grey,
therefore, the person stands out more.by looking at the picture in more depth
you are able to notice all of the shapes in the picture which you may not be
able to see normally if the picture was in colour. If you look carefully you
will be able to see that the picture is made up of rectangles and triangles but
the use of lines in the picture is the most distinctive feature in my opinion.
This also makes the person stand out as their legs and feet are made up of
curved lines as opposed to being made up of straight lines.
I
also think this picture he has taken is very effective because of how the trees
are so calm around the edge and you can see every detail but then in the middle
where the water ripples the reflection is distorted and I think it gives a
really good effect in my opinion. This picture is mostly in black and white but
there are some bursts of blue and yellow in opposite corners. These suggest
that the picture was taken at sunset as the yellow reflection may portray the
sun setting in the sky. However, it could also be portrayed as dawn because of
how calm and still the water is. Where the burst of blue is there are also
clouds which may depict what the weather is like (cloudy day with some
sunshine). Also the trees have no leaves on them which gives you an idea of
what time of the year it is (autumn, winter or even early spring).
For my project on ‘A Point of View’ I will be focusing on
Mirrors and Reflection. Whether I’m using mirrors or the reflection on water, I
will try to portray reflections in my work as much as possible and also link it
with some Photographers. When I start to make my response to my findings I plan
to show different effects using my Nikon Coolpix L120 and editing them with
software such as Adobe Photoshop CS5.1. I will try and make sure I am carrying my camera at all times so
if the opportunity comes along and I discover something, I can take a picture
and maybe they could then link to my project. I will hopefully keep up the standard of my
work to make sure that it is consistent so I can achieve a high overall good
grade overall.
