Under The Sea
In the spirit of it being a rain day, and a day off from work, I tried to center all of my pictures around Water and the Sea. I used a variety of items and textures, including my daughters bath toys, a fishing lure, close up's of a few paintings, fungus on a stump, a mud puddle, running water from a faucet, and a even a close up of a gob of hair gel. The hardest part of taking these pictures was getting a good close up with my camera since there is no macro setting. The hardest part of making a collage was placing the pictures where I envisioned them while I was taking them. I also had a hard time getting all 21 pictures into the collage. Here is the final result of my project:

Mike,
ReplyDeleteI like that you went with a theme with this. I haven't uploaded my post yet but it is more miss matched. I also really liked the photo of the rain drops on the grass I think that would be an interesting shot all on it's own.
I really liked that shot as well. I took the pictures shortly after the rainstorm, hoping that the foliage would give the collage a "Seaweed" feel. I don't think I got the effect I was after, but I still liked them enough to include them.
DeleteThis is a really neat collage! I love the picture in the center at the bottom with the water drops on the leaves. The focus on that shot is what makes it my favorite. What is in the picture in the bottom left with the fishing lure?
ReplyDeleteIts a poster of Shark Jaws my stepson has hanging on his wall. That picture isn't as easy to figure out once it's in the collage. I tried to place the fishing lure picture inside the sharks mouth.
DeleteI'm in love with the pelican, and he immediately draws my focus. I think it's because he is white, attracting the most light, and because he is clear and focused. Very cool collage.
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteMy little sister has the dolphin, octopus, and crab bath toys, too! And I really like this collage--the fact that you have a theme makes it really interesting, You've put together a story, almost, that draws the viewer in. I also think it was a great idea to take pictures of paintings, because the images and their texture add even more variance to the collection.
Paige, My daughter loves those bath toys. She just figured out how to squirt them, which means I usually get a bath as well...
DeleteI'm not going to lie here. I keep staring at the cute little octopus in the middle! I really really like your collage; it's just fun to look at! I especially like the fact you broke it up with some art work - it ties your whole collage together. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Good call with the theme. The main thing that I see to work on is the focus. I know the camera will auto focus, but once you hold the shutter button halfway, you can lock in the setting and then move your body back and forth ever so slightly to do the final adjustment with the focus.
ReplyDeleteI like that you placed fishing lure in the sharks mouth very creative placement and funny, your collage was fun to look at. I like that you can move between so many different objects, textures...and from indoor to outdoor shots.
ReplyDeleteI like that you had fun with this and went all out on the props! Super cool pic and its fun to look at. I think you also did a great job on the variety of depth to your macro. Way to go
