Blanket Series: Air

nmml

This is my first edit from the ‘air’ series. This was the picture that I took first. The zoom was larger and as I went on I decreased the zoom. The pictures from this experiment are quite different. We did about three different throws, therefore the results vary. Particularly in this one, the rule of thirds is quite good. The blanket intersects the lower horizontal line of the grid. This adds balance to the image, and directs me to look exactly at the blue blanket. Also the colour is important. The blue shaded windows in the background, balance the foreground to it. It almost reflects the colour.

For my third picture, it shows a further away shot. There is a lot of depth and certainly a lot of distracting features. The angle upsets the symmetry, but this is what causes the composition to be very interesting and amazing.

I’ve edited this image to increase the contrasting colours. There wasn’t much vibrancy, so I also altered it. Moving onto the compositional elements, I think that this photograph has got a great rule of thirds. Since the blanket is intersecting one of the two vertical lines, the images has a sort of balance to it. The leading lines in the background are very distracting. The rectangle and square shapes on the buildings create a very abstract view. I think that the curled up blanket, that’s soaring mid-air adds an interesting component to it. The off-balance distracts me from the solid background and I think that the difference is perfect. Also, the angle at which is the picture was taking is also quite intriguing. I was standing at the bottom of the staircase, whilst pointing my camera lens upward. The way in which it was taken really changes my perspective and even makes the blanket look bigger than it really is. It’s hard to tell if the blanket is closer to the building or to the wall. This picture has great depth. The background, middle ground and foreground are all filled with objects, therefore it has a three dimensional effect. The layers in the scene draws me into the image.

This in all, creates a series, which shows the blanket being thrown. You can see where the blanket starts, higher up in the left hand corer of the staircase and where it ends up. The result of this performance was very effective in my view. At the end, the blanket goes over the top of the wall, which I managed to capture at the last minute.
