Picture+of+a+Place-+Schaefer




 * 1) The first image represents a somewhat abandoned city and building structure. The buildings are decaying and everything around it gives the idea that it is abandoned and not taken care of. The second image is portraying more of a landscape with many trees that surround the people in it. The last image is a building structure that looks abandoned and old.
 * 2) In the first image, the lighting makes brightens the image which gives it a real look and something that you could see down an alley in a city. The lighting in the second image gives in a warm feeling by the way that the sun shows through the trees and portrays a shadow on the ground and people as your eye follows the path. In the final image, the building darkens the mood because it is old and abandoned, however, the bright sky almost cancels out the gloomy feel.
 * 3) The main compositional technique in the first image is leading lines that is shown by the fence and buildings that guide your eyes all around the picture. The rule of thirds is also used by how the picture is split from the three buildings. Fill the frame is the main technique used in the second image. There is little to none sky shown in the background because the trees take up the whole picture. The railings on the sides of the picture incorporate leading lines to the image as well. Leading lines again is used in the third image by the way the line of the building guides you around the whole image. With the treeline in the background behind the building incorporates level horizon and because the building is obviously the main focal point of this image, it shows the use of focal point.
 * 4) I want to transfer my picture onto wood and by doing this I will be able to get a almost rustic feel to the picture that I select. For this project I want to take a picture of a happy and light place that I love going to because most of my other pieces have been dark or something with a deep concept so I want to try something new. I will be using natural light to give it a warm feel to the image. I will either use a city/ building scpae or a landscape for this project. The final image will be around the size of 8.5 x 11 and printed onto wood.
