Final Project

How would you use design features to create balance in the composition of your photograph?

Before taking the photo I thought out how I wanted the image to look. I was not thinking perfect because I knew this image would be for my memories only. What I notice about my image is that it seems to be lacking balance. The photo is leading more to the left slide where I was able to shoot majority all the house on the left, whereas I am wondering about the house on the right. The goal was to have a view of all houses on my block. One thing I did not consider was the positioning of my subject in terms of the height and weight of the photo. In order to create a photo color plays a big role in your photograph. My theme was Winter. Winter is the least colorful time of the year, so when I shot this photo I shot in color, but it came out black& white. I tried adding filters to the photo, and it gave it a dull look.

Do I feel that I achieve my goal? No, It does not snow very often in Georgia so creating this image meant the world to me. I wish I had try different angles to get my hold neighborhood. But overall I still have a beautiful photo to look at. Next time I take a photo I would consider the position of my subject. I would also keep in mind the height and the weight of the image that I am trying to create. Another thing I would do different is take multiple amount of photos. Try different angles and position my camera to target everything I want in the photo.
