Objects
Bridge
Sky
Clouds
Cars
People
In DMF this week, we were discussing hue, saturation and value. I went searching specifically for an image with high value contrast and found the above photo. I was drawn into it by two things: the high contrast of the silhouette against the sky and the point of view used in order to achieve fantastic lines. All of the lines draw the eye right to the top center of the tower and it makes you feel like you are standing right there beneath it. With the direction of the light coming mostly from one side of the frame, the bridge has a very majestic feel. I also like that, while cars are included, the street is not the focal point of the picture. Also, the camera was tilted a bit to add interest to the lines of the tower while nothing has been done to draw too much attention to the activity that is actually on the bridge.

My next search was for a photo with a specific hue, and I found the above. Obviously it has been adjusted to contain mainly a yellow hue, which contrasts nicely with the black. The light seems to be issuing from the building itself. That, in combination with the fact that the building is placed at the center of the photo, draws the eye immediately to the building (which I think is a temple of some kind). Then, the audience may allow the eye to wander, and notice the reflection of the building and the lovely silhouette effect of the branch in the foreground. This photo reminded me a lot of one that I posted earlier with sailboat in it that has a mainly blue hue. To me, the yellow hue conveys excitement. It seems that the world outside the building is dull and black, but a whole new world awaits once you enter it.
