Day Five

Today, the lesson was all about how you can use lines to make your photos better. After a discussion, it was out to the park to see what they could come up with with that theme in mind. The students were also encouraged to experiment a bit more with post processing; I am sure you will notice the much bolder look to many of today's photos.

Viola
Viola has done a great job here of using the simple,empty benches at the
Da'an Park Amphitheater to really move our eyes through the photo to the right.

Benjamin
A natural looking statue, which has both the vertical lines from the timbers,
as well as some nice diagonals was caught by Benjamin.

Albert
Albert has used the lines of the walkway to bring the attention to his teacher very well.

Celine
All these lines leading us straight to the bright triangle at the top here in Celine's photo.

Elaine
Elaine follows the path, right to a photographic discussion.

HankConvergence, leading lines, intersections and a vanishing point
are all well illustrated in this photo by Hank.

Ian
The look down the pathway, straight at an oncoming
Teacher Darren makes Ian's photo really come alive.

Jason
Lots of lines receding away, and an interesting overlay
applied in post processing here from Jason.

Lauren
Similar to Celine's, yet quite different at the same time.
Lauren has really tamed all the tubing here to make an excellent photo.

Nyo-Nyo
A very nice look at how the pathway leads to the seats and the stage.
Clearly, Nyo-Nyo was thinking about lines, but also remembered her lesson on perspective.

Susana
It is a very pleasant path Susana takes your eyes on, down this row of flowers.

Wish
A nice take on black and white as well as  an interesting line of  flowers
flowing away from our eyes in Wish's photo.

Abel
Abel really hit the nail on the head when it came to using lines here.
One leading us right to Viola, while the other bends our eyes over to Hugo.

Hugo
Terrific lines, a nice triangular arrow pointing to the unknown and a creative use
of selective blur all work well together in Hugo's photo.

Julian
With Julian's use of lines in this photo, you can't help but want to walk up the path;
everything just seems to point that way.

Tomorrow is scheduled to be a landscape day, so let's everyone hope the rain holds off. Hope to see you back soon.
