This weeks blog is about Seeing red. I have gone out and taken some really interesting and fun pictures for you guys to enjoy, the only challenge was that they had to be all taken by my smartphone. I struggled a little with getting the right angles, but managed to really get into it and try many different ways I could stand or lean in order to get the right focus.
My pictures were not all taken in the same location, many times I found myself looking for red which made it harder for me to feel like I was getting the right pictures, so through out the course of this week I let the red come to me whether it be on campus or over a friends place. I hope you guys enjoy this weeks Seeing red project as much as I did and feel free to leave any comments down below.
Image 1 - Beats Cable
This is a picture I took inside of a building we have on campus called The Union, I took this picture because of the way the cable was positioned at the time, since the rules for this project indicated that I couldn't physically move any object to fit the picture. I had to think of ways to to position myself instead. I chose this angle because of the spiral end on the cable. Usually things are focused the closer you get but in this case I focused the picture towards the farther end the spiral.
Image 2- Red Guitar
I took this photo because I was fascinated by the beautiful apple red texture this guitar had. I positioned myself in a way you would see almost all of it. I wanted to embrace how strong the presence of red was on the certain object. I wish I could have positioned myself just a little lower so that way the picture showed the full guitar itself.
Image 3- Red DJ Booth
I work at a venue/ night club called Teatro Scarpino, down Dickson Street in Fayetteville Arkansas. I took this photo because the of the lights and the way the DJs table is positioned, I didn't want to get to close because then it would ruin the whole idea behind the picture. I also didn't want to leave people guessing. The lights and speakers really help draw the attention to the DJ and his table. This is probably one of my favorite photos I took this weekend.
Image 4- Red Sun Room
This is a photo I took in The Union as well, I chose this photo because of the way the red paint on the side of the walls gleam against the shadows of the sunlight that the windows bring in. I chose this angle because I wanted to show the way the windows are set up all the way up but didn't want to lose focus of the red. I tried to make the red walls one of the first things you see in this photo. I wish I would have taken it at an angle that would be closer to the red paint but the only tool I had to work with was the chair I was sitting on.
Image 5- Mangos Nightclub
I absolutly love this photo, I took this photo while I was visiting one of my favorite nightclubs in Miami Beach. I wanted to make sure the focus of the photo was on the sign, it took multiple attempts to get it to where you couldn't see the crowds of people below. I like the way the colors green and yellow are big enough to see but are not big enough to over power the color of the red title. I think if I had gotten close enough to get just the word Mango's this photo would have been much more appealing to the eye.
