OCA - TAoP - Assignment 2.

SINGLE POINT DOMINATING THE COMPOSITION

On the right side a woman is going up the stairs. The black dress is contrary to a white backround. The image is static, only the dominant point is in moving.

TWO POINTS

The bird and the buoy are on the opposite side of the picture. The two dominant points are located along the diagonal. The swirling water broke the static background.

SEVERAL POINTS IN A DELIBERATE SHAPE

I find this simple rectangle on a jungle gym. I was looking for a long time for a clean shape. But all shapes were complicated or backgrounds were confusing. This theme is simple - and I like clear pictures.

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL LINES

This picture is symmetric - might not be correct. But the tube and the shadow shifts the center of the picture. The horizontal elements are changing the shadow of the pipe.


DIAGONALS

The lamp is hanging in the middle of the intersection. The picture contains the corners of houses, but it's clear what we see.

CURVES

The curved rails form a nice contrast to the snow.

DISTINCT SHAPES

The triangle of the road sign, the shadow, the barrier and the background rectangles are composing an interesting picture.

 

IMPLIED TRIANGLES

I love the shadows and the backlights - highlight and definite outline of the theme. The waiting man, the walking girl, the shadows of the pylons and the buildings draws many triangles.

RYTHM

The sunshine is reflected from the opposite windows. It's give nice bright patches to the rhytm elements.

PATTERN

The old gate bolts to form a pattern. The surface of the material is worn but consistent. The keyhole add a playful element for the monotone pattern.

Canon FD lens on EOS body

I have some old FD lenses and I'd like to use these lenses on my Canon EOS 60D.
Few days ago I bought an FD/EF adapter, and I take some photos with a Canon FD 28mm/2.8 and a Canon EF 17-85mm lens.
The adapter contain a small correction lens. It magnifying the picture - unfortunately the quality is poor.
Lets see the quality! I take all photos in RAW, cut the center and upper left part and pasted the pictures in one image.
You can see on the left side the FD lens resolution in aperture 5.6 and 16, and the EF lens on the right side.
The adapter has a large distortion away from the center.

OCA - Assignment 1 / I.

The first assignment is the contrast. I used B/W images to clean content.

STILL

In my mind the still is motionless, stable or old. But when I saw this fish - I thought - this is really still.

MOVING

I took this picture in an elevator. I used long time shutter - it was simple, because the light was low.

Cold morning

A short film with my new Canon 60D camera.

Half Moon again

Last night my daughter was watching a TV Show. I went out into the garden to photograph the Moon. I made a small ring of the telescope - I could take pictures without chromatic aberration.
