These are the photos I took around my house for my Photo Safari Assignment (please note image 2 was taken right side up, but was uploaded upside down onto the laptop and photo editing would not work). They resemble the original twelve images provided by Mr. Dawson by demonstrating the formal elements of photography described in each. For example, images 4, 5, 7, 9, and 12 resemble the element of lines, focusing on the lines of a photo and their significances. Another element is shape, which is represented in photos 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 because of the focus on geometric shapes or polygons. Repetition and/or pattern is shown in photos 3, 4, 8,9, and 12 due to the pattern in lines or repetition in certain shapes like circles and squares. The main texture demonstrated in these photos are smooth but photo 3 differs in that is gives a more blotchy texture through the rain. Photo 11 and 12 also shows unique textures through the uneven weaved thread in the sofa arm of 11 and crunchy stiff texture in the papers of 12. Though I think value and tone wasn’t a major focus in any of the photos, in photo 11 there is more light towards the top left corner and along the arm of the sofa, where as there was darker colors around it, especially to the right of the sofa arm. Focus is demonstrated in a lot of photos, especially in 2, 6, 10 and 11. Though there is a bit of distraction in the photo from the lighting, I think photo 10 demonstrates the provided picture and the element of focus well because the audience’s focus is drawn to the perspective and direction the photo emits. These are the photos of my Photo Safari and how they represent the photos provided by Mr. Dawson.
