draft two

For this series, I was trying to have more variety in the plants and colors I photographed. I went to new locations and found new plants, with vibrant colors, to photograph. Just like before, I used the shutter speed of 1/15, which I've discovered is a wonderful speed to use for my project. For the next series, I will continue trying to find plants I have not yet photographed.

draft one

 

For this first draft, I dove deeper into photographing plants with low shutter speed. I really like how the colors pop out and the shapes and textures created by having a blurry plant. My approach is to turn the camera onto the tv mode, and lower the speed down to 1/15 because I have found that this speed is a very good one for this series. I am going to, for the next drafts, try to get more variety of colors, textures, and plants.

three ideas

Asymmetry: For these photos, I was trying to photograph a scene that is a mirror (both sides of the photo are exactly same), but then has something that makes parts of the photo different than the rest. My approach for these photos was to find a scene that looked almost exactly the same/was almost exactly mirrored on both sides.

Symmetry: For these photos, I was trying to take a picture that is like a mirror, as in both sides of the photo are exactly the same. My approach was to find something, like a set of windows, and if they were mirrored, then I would step back to take the photo.

Motion: For these photos, I originally had the idea that I wanted to take motion pictures, and I randomly took one of a plant and found out that it looked really cool. So for this part of the series, I found cool looking plants with vibrant colors, shook the camera around, and got some cool photos.
