I was shopping at Lolo's and decided to get a picture of the aisle. What fascinated me about this picture wasn't so much the color or layout or anything, but rather what I found in this aisle: candy and alcohol. Right across from each other. I found it hilarious that the majority of our modern vices were found so conveniently located together, so I had to get a picture of it.

I shot this one through a glass door at the McKay building on Sunday after church, which was particularly foggy. I shot another one that didn't have the letters in it, but I like the look of these backwards letters floating over the landscape. I do recognize that the letters kind of obscure some of the depth cues (like the horizon and the pathway) which would help with the deep space that I'm going for, but I also like how it establishes a frontal plane that contrasts with the foggy background.

I really wish this one had turned out better. The aerial diffusion caused by the fog could have really helped add to the illusion of depth, although there may have been too much fog to achieve that effect. I wish I had shot more of the street in this one. The angle is too high, so you mostly only see the fog. Oh well.

I like how this one turned out. I took it under the same foggy conditions as the last one, but because of the bright red stop sign in the foreground, the deep space works a lot better in this one. And the aerial diffusion seems to add more to this one, whereas in the last one it did not. I wish I had framed the stop sigh a little better and shown a little more of the road so as to add more depth cues, but I really do like the color contrast in this photo.
I really enjoyed your pictures this week, particularly the first and last.
ReplyDeletePhoto 1: I had never heard of Lolo’s before have never noticed a store who has an isle right in front of the door with candy and alcohol. I love the emptiness, it almost seems a bit spooky. I also love seeing the seemingly random items in your cart (I think it says a lot about someone).
Photo 4: I love the muted colors and pop of red in the stop sign. I like how the stop sign edge follows the slop of the ruff. Nothing is crisp in the photo but I think it works here with it being foggy out
Hey Hey! Photo one is really cool. Not only do you have vanishing lines on the two sides with the aisles, but the green kart (bright colors) contrast with the grey of the door at the end to create deep space. Cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the grocery cart in the store. I think the framing is interesting and it leads my eyes down the aisle. I like the colors in it as well. I think you created some great deep space.
