For this week’s photo-stroll task, I decided to complete the circles exercise. Immediately I saw circles all around. With a coffee in one hand (circular of course) and a camera in the other, I began snapping away. I left Footscray with over 50 photos of circles. When I saw things that are red, or things with bold lines and patterns, I collected them also.
What did I discover? I found that natural light gives a photo a much sharper image, resulting in a higher quality picture and vibrant colour. I much preferred taking photos outside. When I was photographing objects indoors, the flash threw artificial light over the object making it appear less attractive, so I decided to go flash-less. I found however, that no flash in an area with little or no natural light creates a dull image with ‘soft’ edges (rather than sharp) or results in a slightly out of focus picture.
This was a fun assignment! The only thing I’m left wondering is why we can’t photograph inside the market? There are so many circles in there!! You can only act like you don’t know that rule so many times…
