Week 7 - Excursion 2 Darling Harbour

EXCURSION 1 

Darling Harbour

My favourite photos:

1.What is it? 
These photos were taken by me about urban architecture.

2.What style is it?
it is high/low angle and colour/shape.

3.Why is it style you've chosen?
It includes buildings and architecture subjects. It can have very powerful effects. I can use this technique to enhance the details in the sky and clouds, darkening the mood.

4.Why is it your favourite?
Make a habit of looking up and down as I walked around Darling harbour. I found interesting angles, shapes, and patterns when I looked at architecture from different points-of-view. I also shoot in a variety of weather conditions in order to enhance the effects of light and shadow on the atmosphere of each image.

Week 4 - Excursion 1 on campus

Excursion photos

My favourite photo 1 :

1.Where was this taken?

This photo of  Ultimo TAFE is at the library.

2. what style is it? 

It's difficult to see other elements like High angle, contrast, black & white and shape.

3.Why is it your favourite?

I have tried to capture a level of this detail that is absolutely stunning. Light and the relationship with this subject (and the shadows that form) as well as other complementary elements (like lined pattern of this table) become the focus rather than the color of elements in the frame.

My favourite photo 2:

1. Where was this taken?

This photo of Ultimo TAFE  is everywhere.

2.What style is it?

It is close-up, highlighting colour, shape, form and intricate detail.

3. Why is it your favourite?

Because I prefer to capture fall colour in wide-angle landscapes, colourful leaf is hugely photogenic in close-up.

My favourite photo 3: 

1. Where was this taken?

This photo of Ultimo TAFE is at the Muse from the wall.

2. What style is it?

It is shape, contrast, form and line.

3. why is it your favourite?

Because I like cropping to the square format emphasizes the shapes of this wall.
