Okay this is a fairly nice series of a walk in the fields but I asked everyone to work with water this week. It's important to read the syllabus each week to see what's up. I even put a post recently outlining each assignment with a picture of what that looked like.
Here's the assignment as I rooted in the syllabus:
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.
My favorite two images are the top two as they don't include any sky. The bottom one as a macro picture also doesn't have sky and it. The reason I mention no sky is because often times the sky is overexposed and detracts from the picture rather than adding to it which you can see most in the third fourth and fifth pictures down. Do try to take a walk by some water and looked down and get close don't just point your camera out at a body of water that's pretty boring but think rather in terms of composition and filling the frame using reflections, movement of water, etc. etc.
