This is a shot of the big tree mural in downtown Olympia. I liked the vibrant colors, but next time i may try to reduce the glare on the plates. I chose ISO-800 because i thought it was a middle-range number, as the light wasn't very extreme, F-stop f/8 because i wanted the main objects to be in focus without great detail on the bricks. I am getting this info from a computer w/o a histogram, but I assume it is balanced.
I spent an afternoon shooting at Percival Landing, and as I was driving home, I caught this mural in my eye and wanted to stop...but didn't. I loved the vibrant colors, too. I like the inclusion of the window in this picture. It would have been easy to not include it. By doing so, you have given the picture "context" -- i.e., "Oh, so these are on an outside wall with windows. These are huge plates!" :) My "Rule of Thirds" eye was looking for a point of focus that my eye was drawn to. My eye was drawn to the yellow plate. I might have included it in full at the top right "dot" in the rule of thirds model ot focus the eye. I love this picture. It makes me want to go take pictures of it! The color really shows up well.
ReplyDeleteI really like the composition of this photo, and think the exposure on it is great! The cropping of the photo leaves just enough to wonder what else is out there, while telling a great deal of the story with what is included.
ReplyDeleteThe use of shadows makes for a multi-dimensional effect, which is a result of perfect timing and a great use of the light.
Good job!
