Greenhouse-
Others interpreted this image as this subject, the greenhouse, being taken into the light. It looks as if it is about to disappear in the brightness. Some people said that it would look better if the image was darker in some places but others said that it looked just fine and the color was perfect. I personally think the photo works well with the lighting and is exactly what I wanted it to look like. The shadowing in the greenhouse makes a really great effect which works well. If I could I would want to try and make the plant in front a little lighter in color. It shows that it is the darkest thing in the image and I don’t really like it. For a larger project I was thinking about doing other subjects that look like they’re being blown out by light. It may be hard because there isn’t always bright lighting but I think it could be nice looking.
Garden-
This image was interpreted as a Japanese Zen garden. It seems very peaceful and relaxing with the water and the bridge going over it. Some thought it looked like a far away land that not many people have discovered because it seems so peaceful. What’s working in this image is the fact that the sky is very white and everything else has a darker color. It definitely shows great contrast and in a photo like this, it is needed. I don’t think much needs to be changed. If I had to do something, I might try to make some of the darkest areas a little lighter. For a larger project I could do something with other gardens. I could try to make a serene looking place and grow off each image. If each photo is extremely different it would make a really good collection of photographs.
Railroad Track-
This photo was everyone’s favorite. They loved how it had great contrast with the dark track and the white sky. They also loved how the track faded into the white sky. I think that is my favorite part too. Having contrast can either make or break an image. I think this definitely makes it. The texture of the wooden track and rocks are great. The viewer can feel like they are right there seeing the track for themselves. This is my favorite photo and I don’t think I could change anything about it to make it better. An extension on this picture could be all about trains. I could find some abandoned trains and train stations and take pictures of those with good contrast and texture.
Bike-
Not much as said about this picture. They thought the lighting was not very good and could have better contrast between grays and lights. If I could I would try to make the contrast different. I don’t like how the sky isn’t white and the gray of the trees don’t stick out enough. I tried to work with it but it never turned out how I wanted. I do like how it does look like someone’s looking through something and spying on something else. Another project I could do going off of this would be something where I find places I can look through looking at specific things. I think that would be a very interesting project. It would be fun to try to find perspectives that are not seen by everyone.
