Week 5: ah-ha's on readings
I loved the examples the readings shared. One thing that I learned from this week was the dynamic symmetry. I knew it existed but did not know exactly what it was.. This helps put emphasis on THE focal point and focus of the photo by drawing attention to these point by drawing a "diagonal line from one corner to an opposite corner then drawing a second line perpendicular to the first from a third corner." The intersections where they meet are the points of interests. I have started taking photos for this weeks assignment, I found the grid function (which shows a basic rule of thirds grid on the camera screen when shooting) to be quite helpful.

I think I like the idea of dynamic symmetry, but not sure that I fully understand it... I think I need to see some real examples of what it really looks like. I do have the rule of thirds down, and my viewfinder is very helpful as well.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed learning about this aspect of photography who new there was ever this much to taking photos I have a whole new array of methids to photography now thanks for sharing your interests.
ReplyDeleteJessica, I really found the grid helpful as well, I think that it allowed me to go a little more out of my comfort zone.
