This first photo is the Asymmetrical Photo. This is at the Wexner Center of the Arts and while the tunnel has a symmetrical feel, the surroundings of the tunnel are clearly different on each side.
The second photo is the Symmetrical Photo. I chose to take a photo of our state flag which has a unique shape but still has symmetrical attributes.
The third photo is the Radial Photo. This photo is the top of a fire hydrant in the North Campus area.
The fourth photo is a person in their surrounding space. I found a student who came from the outside cold and found warmth in the music of the piano.
The fifth photo is the Person up Close photo. This is one of my friends who assisted with this project.
The sixth photo is the From the Point of View of an Ant Photo. It would be scary to be an ant on the basketball courts during the heat of action.
The seventh photo is the From the Point of View of a Bird Photo. On such a cold snowy day, a bird is still able to see the beauty in a dirty urban environment.
The Eighth Photo is the A Stable Image Photo. This photo is taken before a basketball game at the Value City Arena in a portrait orientation.
The Ninth Photo is a Unstable Image. I decided to view the Inauguration Speech in a different view. I think it is cool that I have a high quality camera but it still cannot capture the light from a television.
The Tenth Photo is my Name on Campus. I chose to use the letters in the Buckeye Reading Room in the Thompson Library.
Reflection
I really enjoyed this project using digital photography. I recently got a new phone with a high quality camera and I finally had a chance to use it. The first 10 pictures and the second ten pictures had many similarities and many differences. They were similar in the fact that I intentionally wanted to capture the scene on camera. I was not really sure why I was taking the first ten pictures so I wanted to capture a wide variety of scenes. However, during the first 10 pictures, I did not look for the many different qualities a photograph could take. I just wanted to capture the scene I was viewing.
The second set of photographs were much more intentional. I had to search for the many qualities such as symmetry, point of view, and stability.I had to travel across campus and find multiple opportunities for each photograph. It is much more difficult when there are particular rules to follow, but the images are significantly better.
I enjoyed this part of the project because I had to be creative on how to capture the different categories of photographs. I had to travel to many parts of campus including the library, residence halls, my own home, and even a basketball court. This allowed me to not only explore campus but to explore campus in a different point of view so I could capture excellent photos.
My favorite photo is the basketball hoop from the point of view from an ant. I really enjoy playing basketball at this court, especially at night with the lights on. I was able to capture the hoop from directly underneath while still allowing the artificial light to be present. I also enjoy the image of a student playing the piano while still covered from the cold. While it is indoors, it is clear which season is present outside. An image does not allow the sense of hearing to be used, but this picture clearly shows that music fills the air. These two images are by far my favorite from this project.
