Blog: Photo Assignment!
Pictures of the Logan-Washington Girls tennis match. Logan won 4 games to 3. Here are my attempted action photos.
-
- Good lighting frames Shelmi against the dark green of the background. The ball is also lit, bringing out both the girl and the action. I should have framed it better, so that the net is either more present, or out of the shot. She is centered with parallels to the posts of the fence. She looks peaceful watching the ball’s trajectory.
-
- This picture is extremely dynamic, with the girl taking up much of the frame, but still emphasizing her movement with the rule of thirds. The angle shows her face and her entire racket. It is framed so that the foreground is slightly out of focus which brings attention to the sharpness of the subject. There is a parallel with the girl, and the fence post, and her arms create a nice diagonal in the frame. It also shows a peak of emotion just before she hits the ball. Overall, my best photo.
-
- This picture simply shows a dynamic pose that looked good against the background. The angle shows how she positions her body to hit the ball, and how she lines up her racket.
-
- This picture frames the girls within both the camera frame and the natural frame of the fence behind. It shows Shelmi’s concentration before she hits the ball.
-
- This picture uses the rule of thirds and shows the solitary figure of the coach against the chaotic background of the Logan girls team. The angle emphasizes his stance and magnifies intensity.
-
- This picture has very good symmetry and is framed to stress the difference between the girls, with each team at different ends of the viewing spectrum.
-
- This picture shows repetition of patterns in the way the girls’ bodies are held, and shows action while using the rule of thirds.
-
- This picture is taken from an upper point of view, angled down, which shows all the girls and allows the viewer to see the faces. This adds emotion to the picture. Also, the lighting is decent so that the girls are framed against the darker colors of the court behind them.
