Exercise 1. General.
The purpose of the project was to take candid images
of people and their environment.
It is essential in this kind of exercise is to assess the essential features of the image such as grouping, lighting and their awareness of you and take the shot without prancing about with the camera in the region of thesubjects. The two girls made a complete interesting
image. They were relaxed and engrossed in aconversation. The bright lighting enabled me to use a high shutter speed and a medium depth of field.
Exercise 2. Concise.
The girls are seated comfortably on the pavement. Their grouping forms an oval compass providing an interesting contrast with the rectangular patterns of the pavement. The blonde girl's posture includes a variety of triangles and her pointed fingers on both hands lead the eye up to head. Her gaze takes one's eye via the bottle and to the darker contrast of her companion. The white strap leads one back to the white bag and the crossed pattern of her legs.
The bottle in the outstretched arm gives continuity to the image. The exposure was f8 @ 1/250 sec. This was appropriate to not burning out the highlights of the shoes and white blouse, and at the same time capturing the details of the shadow areas.
