So it's important to read the syllabus for your week by week roadmap of what to photograph. This week was about water specifically. I asked you to look at Edward Weston's work and see how he used water and rock to create formal compositions.
So your first image is a picture of a tree it's lovely as far as it goes but it's not water. So you have a couple more of the tree it with evening light and that's lovely as far as it goes but it's not the assignment. The last one number six as well as number five and number three are definitely about the first assignment introduction composition. So these can all count towards your final grade but just try to take a field trip to some water and after looking at Edward Weston's point Lobos pictures for inspiration. You can also Google water composition in photography in Google images. Here's what is written in the syllabus… Be sure to check it before going out shooting each week.
Assignment: By the Sea
Look at Weston's work at Point Lobos, California. What kind of light did he photograph under? How did he move in and compose what ever he was looking at? For each photograph, consider the point of view Weston and the camera position.
Weston got down, got close to these rock forms on the beach. I want you to do the same
You are to visit the beach, and look carefully at form, light, composition and line. Examine tidal pools, rock formations and sand patterns with the curiosity and freshness of a young child, say a toddler. Move in close, fill the frame..Submit your best 6-10 images on the blog. (Links in academic expectations below). Post a minimum of 50 in Google Drive. If you live well inland and would prefer to visit a waterfall or brook with moving water, that would work too.
A walk by a stream or pond will work for this assignment will work as well for this assignment. The main idea is to get outside and into nature... look at reflections and movement in the water.
