Blog Post #3

As, you can see, I have uploaded many photos for my Visual Studies 1 class; there are two photos that I wish to specifically discuss though.

The goal of the assignment is to take photographs of south congress that express Gestalt’s concepts. I tried to capture proximity, containment, repetition, visual orientation, shape and color.  I used aperture priority to show visual space and depth of field. A main focus in my photos are capturing the lines, like wires, bushes, clouds, and cement. The series of photos of the boys playing basketball have a brief story behind them, and I tried to capture the basket ball bouncing using slower shutter speed, though it wasn’t fast enough.

  1. What is the strongest aspect of this work? The strongest aspect of the work was my ability to capture a moment in time, a story. I was able to capture the depth of field in many of my pictures, show movement, and focus on colors and lines.
  2. What is the weakest aspect? the weakest aspect of my photos would be the fact I didn’t know they were suppose to work together. I tried my best to take unique photos, each with the purpose of expressing one of gestalt’s concepts.
  3. How can the composition or form be improved? By taking photos that all convey the same concept instead of trying to cover every single concept.
  4. How can the project be strengthened conceptually? By adjusting exposure and taking the photos at sunrise instead of focusing on sunset.
  5. How can the project be strengthened technically? By editing my photos.

  1. I always feel troubles with the Visual Studies classes as I usually have no idea where to become learning, so I decided to ask for help and found the edu birdie review. It is much easier to make the right choice when you check the feedback and detailed instructions. Since that time, I feel I do not lose focus, and it helped to increase the productivity which helps me to stay organized and motivated.
