3:Multiple Points








Multiple Points In a photograph. 
A Simple Exercise using Desk top photography. Its Been many yeas from when i last done this sort of work. Now I miss having a studio. Perhaps again one day.


Arraignments of multiple Points.  Quick think. back drop ?!.  Use brown paper roll. Using two cameras . use of 17-40 L lens Stopped down max F16 Bracket exposure. Using Glass mats as a backing to
brighten up the image .


Shells:.
 Choosing and arranging these Items. Was not to much trouble. 
Pattern. Visualizing an image and creating it. 
I done three attempts, showing different Arrangements of the shells.


End result for that after cropping and adjustment .




The first was a blunder. Second attempt to remember the basics. The above was badly lit. Not sharp, Lack of depth. Although the brown paper aided the over all tone. I could have taken it a step further and used white sand. I think it would have made to much of a mess in the home. But would have been a nice touch. And contrast. 
Also the Horizontal format gave to much, for the eye to scan. Just the shells on the glass would have been enough.













This was my second  attempt:
The balance seemed a bit static, and to focused to the centre. Although the large shell is dominant over all. From the arrangement of the shells . The Placement leads the eye into the center through to the bottom right. So a quick re think.


Simplistic is the key. Fewer shells.



Although I had used less, and tried a curved approach to the composition. The end result was still not what I was looking for. I still had the centre focus point. It shows that some Objects are more powerful in cheating the eye to be lead astray. I noticed the cone shells, being long and pointed like arrows. they were over coming the objective. Making dominant lines . Over all I like this one best. 




Take a look at the two pictures here where I have drawn lines to show the line of sight. Although the top larger shell, again is dominant in size. The eye follows through the picture. As the cone shells seen on the right are more leading. The picture comes together By balancing the two dominants,  blocking the direction with the smaller shells. Diverting the eye down the curve of the bottom right shell helps this.
