 In this photograph there is use of the technique blurring, This photograph is of a Labrador running at extremely rapid speed through grass. The blurring has been used on the grass and the legs of the Labrador. This is very affective because it doesnt just show how fast this labrador is running at but also puts imapact on the strentgh in his legs. The view point of this

In this photograph there is use of the technique blurring. The photograph is of a group of teenagers swinging on swings. This photograph has been taken from the side which is very affective as it shows everyones movement and having a different angle makes the photograph much more intresting. The blurring is aimed mainly on the teenagers this is because they are moving and blurring is the technique used to convey the motion of real life as the naked eye cant see it. In this picture the background has no blur and has bright colours and bright lighting. This creates this picture to look very fun and cheerful. The blurring technique is very affective as the blur is hilighted in different directions as some are going forward and some are going backwards. This shows different pace and makes the photograph look busier.

The blurring affect hilights the speed they are moving at and is capturing an action shot that the eye cant see in real life. The photograph is a close up shot and has a pitch black background. This is to make sure the main focus is on the dancers. The blurring technique
puts impact on the pace of the dancers and gives the photograph a sense of rythm.The blur technique also gives the dresses shades of different colours this creates the dancers to stand out even more as well as making the photograph very eye catching.

My own definition of blurring
Blurring is used to show a still movement in motion. Blur is used to show people something that human eye cant see in real life.

Work Diary

The first photograph i am evaluating is the edit of the converse. This edit shows blurring very clear and is very interesting to look at as it shows an illuson of double the converse. The colours are very clear and sharp but to improve this edit i would of made this photograph more blury to make it more intrieging to look at. And to make it clear to any viewers that this is the formal element of blur.

The second Photograph i am evaluating is the book edit. This photograph is very blurry and the as i moved my camrea in one direction there is a swift blur affect that travels to the left. This photograph contains a bright blue that is very eye catching. This photograph didnt come out the way i would of liked it to as the photograph looked extrmely unclear to improve this is wouldnt of moved the camrea as fast and as much to make the blur less intense.

When i went out to take photos for blur the weather again was very dull and raining so i shot most of my photographs inside one room. To develop my photographs i would of taken more in different rooms to get different affects and colours in the blur.

 In this photograph there is the technique blurring. The blurring is used in the motion of the stages of a dance couple performing a set of dance steps. The male dancer is wearing a black suit and the women dancer is wearing a flowing red dress. The lighting is very dark with a faint colour of pink this suggests romance. The blurring is happening through each transition of the dance.This is very affective as it is showing what the naked eye cant see but the camera can. The two main photographs of the start and finishing dance pose stands out with the others fully blurred. This is very affect because it shows what stages they went through to achieve there ending poses. But also the photograph looks very graphic and real that you can feel the intensity. As well as the bluring indicating the fast pace they are moving at.


In this photograph there is the technique blurring  this is used to put impact on the movement of the spinnning roundabout and the affect it has on the teddy bear. This photograph is very complex and unique as the blurring is only in the background of the photograph and the focus is on the teddy bear and roundabout seat. even though the force of the movement creates the teddy bear to look wind swept which adds more motion to the photograph. The blurring technique is going in one direction and is a still movement that is captutred to show the viewers something they cant see but the camrea can capture. This photgraph is very affective as it emphasis speed through the bluring. Also the blurring is very sharp and clear which makes this photograph look very high quality.

In this photograph there is the use of the technique blurring. This is when the photographer has captured a motion blur because this photograph contains extremely fast movement. In this photograph there are two race horses and they have a faint blur but the main blur is in the background. By putting blur on the horses as well as the background creates added speed and intensity to the photograph. I think this photograph is affective because the photo was captured in action of the horses not on the ground . Also this photograph isn't a still movement which makes it different as the photograph portrays rapid speed using burring. Also the simple red,blue,green and black colours are blurred as well to give the photograph a realistic sense to it. As well as the jockeys being blurred as well to show how much force and energy they are using to win the race.

In this photograph there is a red post box, double decker bus and a London street. This photograph contains the theme of London. The blurring is used to capture the motion of the double decker bus. This is because the bus is travelling at a speed and the movement of the photograph can not be seen with the naked eye. By having a still image of a post box at the front of the photograph and a blurred image of a double decker bus emphasis how fast the bus is actually going. The blurring of the bus is very good quality as its blurred enough to show its rapid speed but also sharp enough to see what it actually is. The darkness of this photograph also must of made the photo easier to capture the burr.

In this photograph there is the use of the technique blurring. Blurring is created to capture the idea of movement through time. This photograph is an example of this as it shows a cat chasing a mouse and putting impact on the speed they are both racing at. This photograph brings out the feelings of fear, panic as well as domination and anger. These feelings wouldn't be highlighted with out the use of the technique blurring. The blurring is emphasising the rapid speed they are moving at as well as bringing out there facial expressions as they are not blurred but focused and sharp. The colours in the background that are blurred all combine together to produce an misty look this can not be seen with the naked eye which makes the technique blurring so special.

In this photograph there is the use of the technique blurring. This photograph shows the movement of the spinning swings. With the technique blurring this gives the photograph a smooth and relaxed feel to the photo. This is because even though the blurred technique shows speed the bright colours and smoothness of the blur creates this photograph to be very graceful and effortless. This photograph is very affective as the two girls on the swings closest are in focus more then the rest which are blurred. This shows a long shot as the further they are in the distance the more burred they are. The technique blurring is very eye catchy and different to other still photography as it  gives the photograph a story behind it and is an action shot which is very unique an intriguing.

Four anotated photos of diffrent types of lines

In this photograph this train track is made up by lines. There are curved lines on the outside and horizontal lines which are placed diagonal in the middle. Curved lines produce grace and charm in the photograph. They are mainly known for drawing the viewer into a photograph and leading them through the photo to one point and then another. The curve in the train track is an S curve which is very common in photography. It combines both beauty with its shine and strentgh you mainly see this curved S line in path ways and train tracks as shown in this photograph. The aim of having a curved S line in a photograph is to just add more intrest and attract a wider audience. Another type of line in this photograph is horizontal lines that are placed diagonally. These lines represent movement and speed and give this photograph depth as they intersect with other lines. Both digaonl and curved lines both produce a sense of flow and smoothness as they are indicating a journey. Both types of lines are dark coloured which stand out through the autumn background.

In this photograph the tree's are created by vertical lines and if you look closly there are tiny horizontal lines on the stems of the tree's. The vertical lines are very long, thin and some look delicate. These lines run up and down and express height by emphasising how tall the tree's are in the forest. They also stimualte growth and are an intresting repetiative pattern. By having a repetiative pattern this creates depth as it slowly begins to fade the tree's away in the distance. By also having horizontal lines on the tree's break up the shapes and poduce an  intresting pattern on the tree's. Horizontal lines are known to create stability or rest. This is done as the horizonal lines form an calming enhanting forest.

 
 In this photograph the fields of different flowers are separated by thick horizontal lines. These horizontal lines convey peace and relaxation.These horizontal lines go from one end to the other which is easier for the viewer to look at. Aswell as it looking more prefessional. This photograph is very well structured as the horizontal lines are all repeated and in line. There is no horizontal line that stands out. The horizontal lines are just inbedded in the flowers which in my eyes looks very complex and unique. There are always horizontal or vertical lines in nature when viewed up close and if you also look at all manmade creation there are also many horizontal and vertical lines aswell.

 In this photograph there is an amazing usage of diagonal lines which expand out from the centre left of the photograph. Theese diagonal lines are a bright green which give a 3D affect to the photograph. This photograph defently draws the viewer in from the lines. As they have an magnificant flow to them which produces an beautiful pattern. The diagonal lines bring depth to this photograph. Also the creativaity of the lines make this photograph very intresting.These diagonal lines are formed from the left coming throught to the right this can be quite useful and natural.These lines are very complex as they dont just appear from one side to the other. The diagonal lines almost curve in repeat to give a much more natural and relaxed movement to them and produce a pattern which is very eye catchy to the viewers.

Own definition of a line

A line connects to points together. Lines can be straight, curvy or even form a circle. They are an essential in life as they appear in almost everything we use or see. 

Work Diary

The first photograph I am evaluating is my umbrella edit. This is a close up photograph that contains clear colour and the lines are very obvious to see. This umbrella appears in our every day life. The edit is a very simple object but has been taken to be very engaging. To improve this edit the umbrella should of been taken to be more central as its slightly sitting to the left.

The second photograph I am evaluating is my edit of a girls shirt. This contains lines as the shirt is checkerd which uses a range of lines. This photograph is very clear and sharp and looks very interesting to look at. But to improve on this edit I would take the photo more central and not have the hair in the photograph to put more attention on the lines and make the photograph less busy.

When I was taking my photographs for lines the weather was raining so I think I done very well at capturing some average photographs. This was my first shoot so I didn't know what to expect if i would go back and to develop my lines project i would take more photo's and use different angles such as high and low angles to present lines in a different way.

In this photograph the lines make up a train track. The lines are directed horizontal and are a medium thickness. They begin as a dark and bold colour but then as they fade upwards there darkness decreases as the light shines on them more. These lines are known as the term converging parralle lines as they look as if they are converging inwards to eachother as they get further away.This term hilights a journey and the multiply lines lead the viewers eye into the shot. The lines make this photograph very dynamic and they convey a movement which makes this photograph very relistic.The lines are situated in the centre and the two long thick lines either side of the railway track are symetrical to eachother which makes the photography more complex. The lines are the main focus of this photograph and stand out by being close up but also leading to the distance.

 In this photograph there are lines being created by wooden floor boards going vertical in the viewers perspective but also by the trio of snails forming a line the opposite direction going horizontal.The wooden floor board lines are very thick and are blurred to put less atention on them and more attention on the snails.There are also lines inbetween the wooden floor board lines which are very dark and create the techniqe of converging parrell lines this creates a sense of movement. also creates a maze as there a three diffrent types of lines going in all diffrent directions. By the lines being black and white creates an tranquil and relaxed atmosphere.Theese lines make up the photograph without these this photograph wouldnt be intresting or eye catching at all.

 In this photograph the telephone cables make up lines. The view of the lines are from someone looking upwards. This creates the lines to look smaller and thinner than what they actually are.With the mutliply lines going in all diffrent directions overlapping eachother gives an busy look to them.This also makes the photograph look more extreme but really its a very simple photo. The layout of the lines are not structured but just random which makes this photograph engaging and facinating to look at.The birds also form lines in this photograph which add more shape to the photograph. By anaylsing the theme lines in my perspective makes me look more into detail how the lines form the photograph and how much diffrence they make being there as they are the focus point and the back ground just complements the lines.


 In this photograph lines are represented by musical lines. Theese lines are the colour black and are horizontal.They are a mid lentgh and are thin sized. These lines are not dead straight which creates an imperfectness which creates the photograph to look more intrieging.In this photograph lines are also represented as a musical note these lines are curved.The curved lines spiral into a musical note which apply more grace to the photograph and allow the viewer to be amazed at the beauty of this photograph.The vertical lines are repetative which forms a predictable pattern that creates a sense of rhythm and movement.


In this photograph the lines are deep black on a white shell. The lines spiral around which creates an illusion.The individual lines are all diagonal which is very visually dynamic. They have the purpose of leading the viewer into the centre of the photograph. These lines are small but a medium thickness which spiral in to get thinner and thinner. These lines are more virsatile as they can create more of an image than horizontal and vertical where there restricted to just being straight. These lines give the photograph diffrent textures and the lines make the shape of the shell more intresting.The use of lines in this photograph make this average photograph transform into a great photograph.


In this photograph the use of lines are in the stem of the plant and the leaves show diagonal lines aswell. These lines separte each leaf and sweep across the page to form an intresting photograph. The close up shot makes the viewer see the clear and detailed pattern of lines that nature has and how if you explore the detail of plants they have a range of shapes, colours and lines which you would never expect. The lines are very narrow and straight. They sit very deep into the leaves and are a slightly lighter green then the actuall leave which make them stand out more. The use of diagonal lines make this photograph very dynamic and the lines are composed in different directions to lead you into the photograph. The purpose of diagonal lines is to produce tension or actions. But they can also produce depth in a photograph which is shown in this photo.
