Slideshow that I like

This is a slideshow about Depth of field by Lauren Harper. It gives you a good understanding of what Depth of field is.

Annie Liebowitz

 

 

FACTUAL: These photos are taking by Annie Liebowitz.
TECHNICAL: I think she must have edited all of them on the computer because on two of them, the lighting looks artificial. And I think she enhanced the colours on all of them.
AESTHETIC: I really like the snow white one because the colours are very bright and I like how the sun is shining though the branches.
CONTEXT : These pictures are famous people dressing as fairytale princess.

So far I feel good about how I am doing. I think I have improved in my photography skill. I'm not just taking random pictures I am thinking more about the Depth of field, Lighting and Focal point...etc

DEPTH OF FIELD

I picked this photo (By Perou) for Depth of field because this is a very good example. From the leaves right at the front of the picture to the trees right at the back on the Left hand side is a long Depth of field.

This website helped me when picking a photo for Depth of Field.

LIGHTING

I picked this photo for Lighting (By Annie Liebowitz) because this a perfect example. The lighting in this photo is very dramatic. I think it is natural lighting but a little bit edited on a computer to make it look brighter.

FOCAL POINT

I found this web link helpful when doing focal point, even though its example was a flower, it really helped me understand is better. It is called digital photography school.

I picked this photo (By John Hedgcoe) for Focal point because when I look at the photo my eyes go straight to his hands. For other people they may look at this and go straight to his head. But I think the Focal point in this photo is his hands.

COMPOSITION

I have chosen this photo because I think this is a good example of composition. I like how you can see the castle in the background and the fog. And then you have her running down the stairs like in Cinderella.
