So I've been working with my new lens and it has come in handy. I'm also going to rent the pinhole thing from the cage. I have also become more engaged with my environments such as moving things around, changing the lighting and sometimes even blind shooting. My house is getting a little boring so I'm off to new locations! Shallow depths of field really help with the scale sometimes. I'm not going to introduce small recognizable objects into the scene. It would be too plain and obvious. I also plan on going to the Great Frame up in Milford to see what kind of options they have for framing. And let's hope this time FedEx doesn't print out ugly photos.
I think the new lens is really wonderful for those really close shots and capturing all the detail!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving this new lens for you. Before I had been able to kind of identify all of the areas you had been photographing, but now, it takes me a while to figure it out; and I like that. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThis second image, i think it is most successful so far. I think i am so drawn to it because it leaves a little room for my imagination to work. I agree with your decision to leave out small recognizable elements and i think this second image perfectly illustrates why not to. I love looking at it and letting my eye explore the space. I feel like it is almost transformed into a boxing ring or something similar but at the same time i know its not and i love the push and pull that i get from that. I think you are using your depth of field really well and i am excited to see what else you produce!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree that the second picture is really strong. I can not figure out what the image is of though. (I am okay with that.)
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, I can not believe I have not seen any pinhole pictures yet! The lense you are using is making some progress, but to have a concept like your and not experiment with a pinhole is a shame. I know you are planning on using the pinhole at some point but I just want to really encourage you to use it. I always had a lot of fun shooting with the pinhole and have been pleased with the results.
