South Congress

This photo gives a since of visual space. photography information: date: 09/17/14 IOS: 80 6.1 mm 0 EV aperture: f/4 shutter speed: 1/250
This photo gives a sense of visual space, and the use of containment. The idea of unity and variety also shines out to me in this picture because at first, the audiences’ eyes are drawn to the Bel Air sign, but when you look past the sign, the old building and Pepsi machine create a sense of variety and shows proximity. The old, warn down feeling of the back ground objects contrasts the shininess of the sign. Lastly, the use of colors (both yellow curbs, the red in the sign and buildings trim, and the green in the sign and the trees tie this photo together. I grouped this through location, orientation, shape, and color.

The colors and lines illustrate Gestalt concept. photography information: date: 09/17/14 ISO: 80 aperture: f/4 shutter speed: 1/320
The containment in this, my favorite of the sign’s shot, is to add context to the visual weight if the previous post. This photo illustrates the Gestalt concept of repetition, proximity (because i tried to make the sign fit  the whole visual space.

An interesting perspective on the South Congress street sign. expresses Gestalt concept through lines, shapes, color, depth. Also shows aperture priority through depth of field. photography information: date: 09/17/14 ISO: 100 aperture: f/8 shutter speed: 1/500 flash
An interesting perspective on the South Congress street sign.
This expresses the Gestalt concept through the repetition of lines through the electricity wires. The proximity of the sign (being closer to the camera contrasts the distance between it) and the electricity lines, as well as Gestalt’s concept of continuity through the electricity wires are expressed in this photo. 
Also shows aperture priority through depth of field.

This funny sign caught my eye. Tried to express depth of field. photography information: date: 09/17/14 ISO: 100 aperture: f/4 shutter speed: 1/500
This funny sign caught my eye.
I tried to express depth of field, though I was still learning and teaching myself how to use it. The pattern of wheels on the fence creates a sense of Gestalt’s repetition. Proximity is also important in this piece because I tried to make the center focus of the piece the sign, while allowing the side walk and street to have a sense of endless lines/

This bright photo shows a creatively constructed fence of wheels; this expresses some of Gestalt's concepts using shape, form, space, and color. photography information: date: 09/17/14 ISO: 100 aperture: f/4 shutter speed: 1/160
This bright photo shows a creatively constructed fence of wheels; this expresses some of Gestalt’s concepts using grouping (visual units by shape and color) , containment (space) by the brown fence posts on either side of the fence, and repetition of design in the wheels. the bright greens, browns, and oranges made this one of my favorite shots for that day.

The shape and color of this fence stood out to me, and I felt it had a lot of important design elements, including shape, form, space, color, temperature. photography information: date: 09/17/14 ISO: 1600 aperture: f/8 shutter speed: 1/2,500
The shape and color of this fence stood out to me, and I felt it had a lot of important design elements, including shape, form, space, color, temperature. This photo expresses the concept of repetition and grouping through the unity of the bubble fence. I took many of these with the idea of making a collage of them. Continuity also is important in this photo because the fence just seems to go on and on, as well as the side walk. I grouped this through visual orientation, shape and color.

This sign seemed powerful and bold at a certain angle and I was determined to capture that. The use of line and shape also really stuck out to me and reminded me of Gestalt. photography information: date: 09/17/14 ISO: 80 aperture: f/4 shutter speed: 1/1,000
This sign seemed powerful and bold at a certain angle and I was determined to capture that. This image applies visual weight because on the left side it seems heavy.  Continuity is expressed in this photo with the clouds. The use of line and shape also really stuck out to me and reminded me of the Gestalt concept orientation.

This sign stood out to me as bright and happy. I chose to use the AV setting on my camera to create more aperture priority and show depth of field. photography information: date: 09/23/14 ISO: 800 aperture: f/3.5 shutter speed: 1/15
This sign stood out to me as bright and happy. I chose to use the AV setting on my camera to create more aperture priority and show depth of field. This photo shows the proximity between this sign and the different depths of each car. it expresses closure because the colors and shapes all come together, and with the use of depth of field and space, the piece seems complete

this photo was another example of aperture prioity. Again, I used the AV setting. photography information: date: 09/17/14 ISO: 1600 aperture: f/8 shutter speed: 1/3,200
this photo was another example of aperture prioity. As one can see, I focused of the poster below the previous one, this time getting a whole new angle. This photo shows how i was able to make the cars out of focus, and continue to become more out of focus. Again, I used the AV setting.

I took a photo of this sign trying to use a new creative way to show depth of field. I used the AV setting. photography information: date: 09/23/14 ISO: 800 aperture: f/4 shutter speed: 1/200
I took a photo of this sign trying to use a new creative way to show depth of field. The sky in the upper corner contrasts with the rest of this piece by creating a a fluid, calming feeling among its transitional parts. This photo expresses repetition with the yellow windows. The sky shows different colors and lines which show continuity. The proximity between the YARD DOG sign and the building shows Gestalt’s concept. This image shows visual weight because the left side seems heavier. 
I used the AV setting.

This and the next six photos are more unique than my failed attempts to shutter speed. When I asked them nicely for a photo, I got no response. Well, they didn't think I would be talking to them, I guessed. So again I asked them "hey! Would you guys mind if I took a few photos of you for class?" still no response. how rude, I thought, at least acknowledge the fact someone is speaking to you. the third time I asked, the boy in the white shirt looked up, and pointed to his ear. Ah! these young men cannot hear anything I am asking! I realized this with joy, knowing their small chapter in my life would be shown. setting used: TV photography information: date: 09/23/14 ISO: 800 aperture: 3.5 shutter speed: 1/40

The close group they held together and the space in between them expressed both proximity and containment.

These bikes stood out to me as a wonderful design feature on So. Co.. They incorporated Gestalt's use of line. shape, repetition and color. photography information: date: 09/23/14 ISO: 800 aperture: f/3.5 shutter speed: 1/6

As soon as I laid eyes on it, I was inspired to use it for this project. I used the AV setting, and messed around with my camera and the angle come more to try to show the lines, and light and how they complete this photo. The street light behind the sign shows proximity.

Just some guy playing a guitar to someone but to me, Elijah from Ohio was a creative inspiration who deserved to have his photo taken. Though it is a little on the blurry side, I really thought it captured the guy’s mood. the colors all popped out well, framing the subject of the photo. This photo should positive and negative space through containment.
