Art of Photography by Gary Bridger (c): 2:OCA AOP Relationship Between Points

3 photographs :

As Done perviously But unintentionally for this Exercise.

Taken in the UK on Charmouth beach. My aim was to make a stone look interesting. However, As in the the picture in the course. Two points of focus here. The eye leads back and forth. Trying to make up your mind decide where to rest. In doing so you get the feel from looking at the wash of the sea, that the stone and the sea are going to make a connection. A 50, 50 balance. Despite the opposite tones. The back stone being smaller. The white wash being larger with a mid tone bringing both together. May be you may feel the white wash is more dominant? In which case it is true as it will soon over come the stone.

This Picture took my eye as the colour of the doors and walls impressed me. Then my eye took to the contrast of the red car against the blue. A Nice balance of colour. And the main dominating point being the car. If I had just took the car and placed it in the middle filling the frame It would have been a picture of the car. However By taking the car far to the left as it is pointing to the right. Into the frame. The eyes scans the picture to and from the car to the door. analysing the setting giving a story to the over all photo. And then rests back on the car.

Taken in the setting sun in a Village in Borneo. I took many photos here as the doors windows just begged to be photographed. And inside too, were a setting to be captured. They are for future viewing.

I enclose the finishing photo. cats eyes as Eyes seem to be the theme. A close up cropped photo of cats eyes. Green as ever. The right being the dominant one.

Some other examples . In this case for for ground of the identical subject in the picture become dominant.

Either because its closer to the viewer. Or more in focus.

Close up of eyes:

Looking at the relationship between two points.

Firstly the close up, that was my end challenge. I have already taken the premeditated photos. Here I went out to take the full face . Surprisingly, to ask any one? " may I photograph your eyes? ) Is a total NO NO!

I have taken photos like this before. Not so full on, thinking to get the eyes Equal distant to each side of the frame.

Here In Borneo. People love having their photo taken .

Two Philippine girls shouted "photo one ringet?! HA HA . RM is malaysian Ringet. I smiled they posed. They asked One ringet ser. I said . 3 photos and took the shots "close" ? Hold still. And click! the other one rolled in Laughter trying her best to hold still.

I got my shot. I will include the other photos for fun. I did not have 1 rm, so I gave them 5rm = £1.00

Eyes of innocence? I thin k not .

Even in life subjects . None of us are perfectly balanced . Even here looking at the girls eyes. One tends to be more dominant then the other. For the on looker.

one can have difficulty in letting ones eyes come to rest. when looking at the girls eyes. But I feel, or tend to look mostly to the eye on the right side, now the left.
