1) I mean, here's an example of deep space, as in: the opposite of the flat space that we talked about this week. But I felt like the converging line and the height of these tubes(?) was doing a couple of the more interesting things from our deep space discussion.
2) I think this picture is doing the thing that Jeff talked about where the sky can flatten rather than deepen a space by blanking out any real depth cues. Even the clouds don't really help to give the image more range.
3) This image is flat-ish because the warm colors of the flowers and the sunset in the painting sort of place a thing that is in the foreground (flowers) on the same visual plane as a thing that is in the background (painting).
4) This photo is flat because (a) it doesn't have any variation in "normal" size for comparison and (b) though there is sort of textural diffusion, the various textures don't really refer to one another or compete.
5) This photo turned out a lot deeper than what I was going for. I thought that the large swath of sky and smoggy haze would equal a flat space, but instead the line of street lights that gradually get smaller on the horizon -- and the cars doing the same thing -- creates a feeling of distance and width.

Your second photo is super pretty. I love the red and pink colors on the mountain and clouds, and I love how textured and layered the mountain feels. Photos 1 and 4 venture into ambiguous space, which is cool to see.

ReplyDeleteI took a similar picture this week to your second photo! It’s cool how we can have the same subject but end up with such different pictures. I loved that you chose to have the mountains take up half the frame.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is really fun to look at. Having a landscape photo within your photo certainly gives a false sense of depth, and it helps add to a feeling of claustrophobia.
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo. I love your honesty with it and how you were trying for this but got this. That's how we learn right? I like the leading lines of the lights and cars. I like the smog effect that you captured. The colors compliment each other well. I like the deep space that you were able to have with the sky in frame.
