3) Complete!
4) My Transformative Photo: "Momo (original)"
This is the first close-up picture I took of one of my bunnies. Although there isn't anything too special about the photo itself from an objective viewpoint, it represents the point in time during this school year when I actually started to enjoy taking pictures for this class. Not only did it influence my photography, it also helped my appreciate the existence of these two lovely ladies more than before. Prior to this event, I did not see any point in trying to take good pictures given my level of skill.
5) Shape involves, as the name implies, geometric or other "shapes" created by the edges of something and the 2-D area within. Form, on the other hand, is 3 dimensional, which means it includes width, length, and height/depth occupied by the components of a photograph. Basically, from is 2-D (area) whereas Form is 3-D (volume).
6) Both rules of composition are intended to create some sort of rhythm and sense of harmony to a picture. Repetition is simply repeating shapes, lines, or colors that create some form of visual unity but not quite enough to be considered "rhythm" or "pattern." However, "Patterns" refers to the repeated use specific elements (lines, shapes, etc.) to thoroughly unify the picture as a whole, or to create a point of interest where part of the photo differs from its symmetrical surroundings.
7) Movement involves the apparent motion of an object/being in regards to the space surrounding it within a photograph. This can be shown by directional blurs, the effects of wind or other forms of resistance, or if the subject of the photo appears to defy gravity.
As you can see in this photo, due to the unnatural position of her hair as well as the positioning of her body, it is clear that Chandini was turning while I took this photo.
8) Definitely the very last one we had
As you could see, I actually cared enough about doing my project about "a day in the life of my bunnies" to go through the trouble of convincing you approve it, which was not very easy. Also, I would like to mention that what makes my photos different this time was that I did not plan them at all, I saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. I originally would have just posted 5 cute, peaceful pictures of the bunnies lying around idly, but I suddenly felt like recording my struggles while trying (I repeat, TRYING) to somehow capture them. This was more out of irritation at the bunnies for wasting nearly an hour of my life than a desire to make the perfect project. And yet, this way of taking pictures was far more enjoyable for me, and it helped to actually tell a story, which is very different from my other works. Now, instead of intentionally spending time looking for "great picture material," I will occasionally feel inspired to capture an image upon seeing it (although I often have no available camera).
