Composition

For our out-of-class assignment, we were given a list of shot types or specific textures. 

For this image, I had to find a pattern in the shape of an 'S' which I had actually seen before so I knew exactly what I was looking for when I set out on my shoot. It was more a matter of getting the quality of the image right.

Next was capturing symmetry and this was the main side of the memorial that was structured evenly on each side, therefore capturing a very nice symmetrical look. 

I thought that a good group of three shot would be to make three structures look line they are in a line through the use of perspective which I believe I did well. What also happened inadvertently was having the structures being in ascending order of height from left to right.  

My instant thought of a natural pattern was water. My biggest problem with that is that I had to keep the quality high as the water is constantly shifting so I had to use a high shutter speed to capture the motion clearly. 

On the way back from the water, it was perfectly timed as the sun was setting which meant that the poles around the area were leaving a great shadow that fit perfectly as a repeating pattern as well as diagonal lines thanks to the angle of the sun. A good combination of lighting and object placement.

Overall, these are some of my favourite photos that I have taken. Arguably some of them are context sensitive as I wouldn't have got such good photos if I wasn't in the right place at the right time (as clearly seen with the last photo) but there is a good variety of colour, texture and location within the image. These are images that I would gladly show people if asked what sort of work I had to do for Digital Photography as I feel they get the point across well with a variety of techniques based on composition.
