I have to choose a "final photo" for my Digital Photography class. The criteria are as follows.

 

(Please vote for the BEST ONE, not just the "amusement park one")

 

Balance / unbalance

Framing

Light

Color

Communication

Aesthetic power.

 

He weights heavily on the aesthetic power and communication categories. Also, if you have any suggestions in terms of how I can crop a photo to make the frame better etc, they would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

Photo 6

Photo 5

Photo 4

Photo 3

Photo 2

Photo 1

I love Photo 5. I think it has the best balance behind Photo 2.

Photo one...It was meh..Anyone with photoshop could do that. All the rest are better though. I'd say 5 though.

The class is more about capturing the shot, framing it correctly, etc. The only post processing I did was to remove certain colors from some of the shots, everything else is untouched.

I loved photo 3.

Oh, for a minute I thought you just blurred it. Then I took a second look and saw it was the exposure

Picture 3, for sure. You must have a really good camera if you could zoom in that much and still have that level of detail. Or that squirrel is drugged 'cause it let you get that close. Still awesome though. Great job though.

I would like #5, but it isn't as good of quality as the others, IMO. It looks kind of grainy...hard on the eye.

 

I love picture #2. In fact could you send me a larger, HQ version of it through PM? lol

[LcHg5265]

Picture 5 is actually equal quality as the others, the resizing seems to have effected it in a weird way though.

I voted for number three. WHile I love the two sky pictures, I don't exactly think they are framed in any manner, one of the criteria for the assignment. The s&s tower is also framed well.

I voted for #3. It was like you got really close to that squirrel.

 

The sky in picture #4 would make a good background for the S&S Tower (or even the SLC).

183 Views and only 20 votes? Come on people of TPR, I know you are better than that!

I really like the angle you got for #6. #3 is awesome too.

I voted for number two, it is easily the best in all catagorys you listed behind maybe photo one's communication factor.

 

Balance - Definately balanced extremely well, color ranges are solid!

 

Framing - The horizon is straight and there is a good even spread between sky and water (This is part of the balance as well)

 

Light - It has enough light to show off the natural beauty but not too much as to take away from the beauty of the natural light

 

Color - Its pretty, I can just add that here in compliment to the balance comment.

 

Communication - Communicates the point that nature is hard to capture and there are so many wonders that are waiting to be shown to the world through good photography.

 

Aesthetic power - Same as communication and I will add that if this wsa blown up and put into a room it would immediately be helpful in relaxation because of the light colors and the calming tranquility!

 

My order after that would go 1, 6, 3, 5, 4.

 

These are all great photos btw good luck with your grades!

 

EDIT: What kind of camera is this btw? I assume its a DSLR or a high end film camera?

[LcHg5265]

In terms of the camera, it comes down to the picture:

 

Pictures 1 and 3 were taken with a DSLR

 

Photo 2 was taken with my phone

 

Photos 4, 5, and 6 were taken with my Point and Shoot.

[Groteslurf]

I voted for photo 2.

 

Don't know much about balancing etc. I just like that picture the most.

I voted for Photo Six, I'm a sucker for both coasters and color accents. Although, I did like Photo 2, it reminds me of a sample picture on a PC.

[Jcoasters]

I like photo 6, but I don't think most teachers are coaster nerds so they would not find coasters beauti...
