This photo is really cool because the depth comes from the fore and background trees. The trees in front overlap a lot of the trees in back, which creates the illusion of greater depth. It also helps that the trees that are being overlapped are smaller, creating an even greater illusion of depth. I took one photo with the mother and child in it and one without them. I chose this one because I think their presence helps to increase the depth, because it gives the audience better perspective because of their size. color may have flattened the image though, because the brighter colors are in back.
I think the value separation was almost perfect in this one except for the bright fence behind the kids in the background. Having the kids there makes the photo deeper because they seem like tiny people far away. Because the kids are so small in the photo, I think it was worth it to have the white background to separate them. It was bad value separation but good perspective separation which added more depth. The brick pattern going from almost three times the kids' size to almost nothing in the photo also helps add to the illusion of depth.
I think this last one works so well because there are so many reference items in it with the trees, cars, and houses. The repetition of cars on the side of the road really gives it some perspective. And I think it has pretty good tonal and color separation because things become less colorful as they get farther away. The mountains actually take some of the depth away because of how big they are. That, and the diffusion in the air makes them seem like a painting on a wall that is flat, which in turn makes them seem a lot closer than they are.
All three of these photos are great examples of deep space. The first one is the most organic, and because it lacks the lines of the other two, relies most on color and size relativity to portray the depth. I like this photo the most, and think that although there are bright hues in the back, the yellow in the front nicely illustrates utilizing color to illustrate deep space. The last two photos are very similar. Both use a central vanishing point and everyday objects to help us grasp the depth. The alley way picture uses the mortar lines in the brick to create the most dramatic sense of depth. The third picture is a great example of depth of field in every day places. The street feels very deep, although I agree that the mountains flatten out the back a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo, that road goes on FOREVER. I think you could literally get to that mountain just from that road.
