This was yet another foggy day on Campus. I like the tonal contrast between the sky and the right building, but overall, there is a lot of tonal affinity. I just really like what fog does to landscapes (although I hate driving in it).

This is the wall on the East side of the library. I wanted there to be more of a contrast between the dark rock and the light emanating from inside, but I don't think I quite captured that here. I do like the labyrinth design of the wall, though.

This is a close-up of the library wall. Someone decided to put a rock in this little cubbyhole here, and it intrigued me. It's not as bright or as tonally interesting as I wanted it to be, but I just really liked the strange juxtaposition of this rock. It seems like it doesn't belong and shouldn't be there, event though it is sitting on a wall that is itself made out of rock. It's like the rock is looking into a world that it will never truly be a part of. That's just my weird, tangent thought on the subject.

This one was my favorite photo that I took last week. I was originally intrigued by the shadow that this lamppost was making, but I couldn't make any pictures of it look cool. Then I decided to take pictures of the post itself, messing around with the aperture and brightness settings. This was the coolest one out of the series of photos that I took. I love the tonal contrast between the bright light and the tree.

I took this one while I was at work at a women's basketball game. I love how the darker tones of the camera and stands contrast with the super bright basketball court, and it kind of draws your eye downward to the players and the giant Y on the court. I wish I could've gone wider and gotten even more of the stadium, but I like this perspective.
I gravitated towards your first photo this week. I know exactly where you are but it’s different then I am used to seeing it. I love the lone person walking into the fog. It feels like an establishing shot of a thriller.
ReplyDeleteThe practice of taking photos each week really lends an eye to a new perspective of campus. Your first three photos are of things I see every day, but the perspective is new. I really like your fourth photo. It is so ambiguous that I thought I was looking out of a tunnel, rather than at a lamp post.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo with the lamp post. I like the overlap from the branches on the light. It creates nice contrast. I also like to see tonally how different you have on the spectrum from heavy to light.
ReplyDeleteYour second photo looks like a set from some kind of futuristic space movie because of the the angle and the geometry of the cut-outs, paired with the yellow light against the darker sky. Spooky and cool.
