For this research sort of this week I am going to base it around going to Kelly Tarltons in the weekend with Stephanie, Dorothy and Tahanga. So for the two found images this week I want to base it around Sealife photography.
Photographer: David Doubilet
Title: Australian Sealion.
Date: 2007
Medium: Underwater photography.
I like this photograph because it gives a personal relationship between the viewer and the subject, and it is also super cute. I like the colour given in this photo with the blurry serene blues and the stark black colour.
My response to this photo is:
ISO: 6400
Aperture: 5.0
Shutter: 1/50
Auto white balance.
I like this photo because the pufferfish is Up close and personal and it looks like he is staring me in the face, almost like having a conversation with him. I also like how his eyes look as well, its a very curious fish. What I don't like about this photo is that I had to use a very high ISO to make the picture visible and in doing so has made the picture look grainy/very noisey. But I like the fact that I used a low aperture which makes the background very blurry which helps make up for a little of it.
This photos have the same camera settings as the previous photo but I added this one because with the fish changing his stance or position in the frame it now looks like he is looking down on us in a very snobby way but I dislike the same things in this photo as well.
The next found photo is:
This is a found image of Pinterest and I couldn't find the Author, Title or Date. But guessing just looking at this photo it could be at an aquarium because the light at the top of the screen looks more reflective as if taken with a flash, it is also at the right angle for a flash. but all the same, it is still and beautiful photo. I like it because it is a form of still life and also I like the pattern and the repetition of this anemone.
My response:
ISO: 3200
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/250
Auto White Balance.
What I like most about this photo is the fact that the picture itself has been warped and what we see is not what entirely correct, and with the trippy colouring of this makes it look almost 3d. I also like that the shot was taken from above because it gives us a look inside of the anemone from side of it looks like it is all colourful arms when it isn't. I don't like the fact that the picture is slightly out of focus the picture itself ould have been twice as better if it was more crisp.
ISO:6400
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/250.
Auto white Balance.
I really don't like the grainy/ noisy feel to this photo and the out of focusness. and the colouring to the photo isn't that great either. But what I do like is the Anonyme because it is a total kick ass sea creature with its sharp looking long arms. also the fact that it is black which add's to the factor. If you look closely it has what looks like a purple blob with an orange eye, (not sure if it is an eye but it does look like it.) This kind of makes it look like a monster.
I found this image as well through google. what I love about this photo is that it feels like it is two photos in one and it gives it a more deeper feeling. it sort of pulls on the don't judge a book by its cover. but the colouring is so beautiful and cold in this photo which makes it feel ethereal or mystical.
My response to this is:
This my original attempt but The penguins was being very uncooperative with me as I was taking pictures This image was hard because the glass was dirty so I couldn't get a clear picture. but Still I like the colouring but the image looks very flat and still grainy.
I just wanted to show off this spectacular penguin. ( I love penguins)
For this Image I finally managed to get a Penguin to cruise through the screen but he looks like a bloated plastic toy.
The camera settings for all these are the same so here they are.
ISO: 3200
Aperture: 9.0
Shutter Speed: 1/50.
and these are some honourable mentions from kelly tarltons.
After going to Kelly Tarltons none of us was ready to go home, so we decided to go sit down and have a break and decide where to go to next in mission bay. After the break, we decided to go up to the Micheal Joseph savage memorial hill. It was a good place to take photos and with this being a will lit outside area I was able to start taking some decent photos for the first time that day.
ISO: 200
Aperture: 5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/250
I like the simplicity and casualness of this photo it came out well, I also noticed after taking this photo that there is a guy in the background who was staring at Stephanie and Tahanga's daughter Tuini. which kind of was creepy.
ISO: 200
Aperture: 5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/250
Auto White Balance.
I just like this photo because it is simple vand if you look closely you can see a guy there and his expression on his face was funny, although it feels kind of creepy as well the fact that he was staring at them.
ISO: 200
Aperture: 3.5
Shutter Speed: 1/400
I like how innocent tuini looks in this photo and how sweet she looks and I like how I managed to get my lense to go down as low as it did, I haven't managed that before and in the end it came out with a very nice effect in total.
ISO: 100
Aperture: 3.5
Shutter Speed: 1/320
I like this because I really like reflections and photos of reflections I just wish That I could have had something nice in the reflection or more in there.
I just liked taking this one because it was in such an odd angle.
After this we stoped and had a snack which tahanga basically brought which was very much apprieciated. We were all feeling low on energy. But we were not ready to give up on our day so we all jumped into Tahanga's car and shot down to the mission bay beach, which was a little more further away than we thought but that was ok thanks to Tahanga being able to drive us.
I didn't take any photos on my dslr on the beach because the battery had died but I did take some on my phone, I like the fact that my phone can take nice photos but it just feels abit to much like the lazy way to do it now.
