Breaking The Rules of Photography

The Angry Tree

This photo breaks three of the rules we learned for photography. First off, the rule of thirds was not applied as the subject is directly in the center of the picture. It also is not simple in any way, but rather extremely complicated composing multiple branches and tree trunks within the photo. Finally, there appears to be multiple points of interest throughout the image, thus drawing the viewer's eye all around the photo as opposed to a single point of focus.

Allons-y!

This picture breaks two of the rules of photography. Firstly, the photo was shot diagonally as opposed to matching the horizon in order to offset the viewer's eye and invoke a sense of motion and action. This picture also breaks the rule of thirds, as the subject is smack in the middle of the image.

Light Trails At Dusk

This photo does not encompass the rule of thirds as neither the background nor the foreground take up more than a third of the image. The light trails lead the viewer's eye directly towards the center of the picture. There is also no framing in this photo

Apart from all the rules that were broken in capturing these images, they still seem to hold the viewer's interest.

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly - Performance Task - Stirling Kim Moss

By: Stirling Kim Moss Living On The 🅦🅘🅛🅓🅔 Side The Good The “good me” is the one that strives to be the best that I can in all aspects of my life, especially during these last few crucial years of high school that will determine my future. Unlike others, I consider doing homework a good thing as it is necessary in order to accomplish my long term goals. So, here I am studying hard in order to achieve that elusive 100% on my next test! I wanted this photo to appear as though it was taken with a film camera, since I’m considered more of an old fashioned person. The blur/feathering effect that I produced around the edges was to lead the viewer's attention to the center of the picture. When people look at this, I want them to feel nostalgic, like you’re looking into a memory from the past. The Bad The “bad me” is the one that likes to live on the edge - at the lunatic fringes once in awhile. When you work hard at school, you need s...

Renaissance Photoshop Assignment

By: Stirling Kim Moss Renaissance Photoshop Assignment Original Painting - The Jester With A Lute by: Frans Hals Photoshopped Painting - Harry With A Lute by: Stirling Kim Moss The Renaissance Period is ranked among the most influential periods of art in the history of Europe. It took place between the years 1300 and 1700. It is considered as the cultural connection from the middle ages to modern history. This span of 400 years was broken down into several different movements, one of which is the Baroque period which spanned the years 1600 to 1750. This was a time of development through all of the departments/groups of art. For example, aside from paintings, many musical styles were born in that era, like the Concerto and symphonia. Styles like sonata, cantata and oratorio flourished. Also, Opera was born out of the experimentation of the Florentine Camerata. The work of the Baroque period is ...

Multiple Exposures Assignment

By: Stirling Kim Moss Let The Big Dog Eat! Camera Settings Shutter Speed: 1/500 second Focal Length: 24 mm F-stop: F-5.6 ISO: 1000 The movie, Happy Gilmore, a comedic golf film, inspired me to produce this multiple exposure photo. Golf is also my favourite sport, and I take part in several tournaments throughout the summer break, I am also a member of the Oakville Trafalgar High School golf team. I wanted the viewer to imagine me running up to the ball and striking it with a mighty blow. In order to accomplish this, I made sure to position myself closer to the camera in each succeeding picture. I also wanted it to seem as though the ball's path was headed straight for the camera's lens, in order to shock the viewer.
