Types of Perspective in Photography

This linear picture is creating a 3D space in a 2D surface, lines converge to a vanishing point.

This rectilinear picture is composed of straight lines that appear straight in the composition, but not curved as in false perspective.

This is a false perspective picture and the lines near the center of the image are straight, while lines near the left and right edges are curved which are produced by a fish eye lens.

This is a vanishing point perspective photo because the parallel lines meet together at a single point known as the vanishing point.

Height perspective is the closer an object is placed toward the horizon line, the farther away it appears and the greater its height perspective.

Overlap perspective is when objects that partially cover another object appears closer creating a sense of depth.

I not only picked this picture because they are horses, which is my favorite animal, but for it to describe dwindling size perspective. The horse that is up close is much larger than the horse in the background, but they are the same type of animal so their size is about the same.

 This is a volume perspective photo because the strong shadows give a sense of the form of an object, the distance between shadows of many objects give a sense of depth.

This atmospheric photo gives the effect of objects that are farther away being hazy, the contrast, brightness, saturation and sharpness all decrease.

This picture of a bird's-eye view is done very nicely because of it being so high up in the air, the small buildings look flat while the very tall buildings look almost 3-D and pointed.

This worm's eye view is the opposite of bird;s eye, a view from below, often used to achieve three vanishing points.

This picture is of forced perspective. The distance that this person is standing, helps them to pull-off the illusion of it looking like the water is coming out of the water bottle but the water is really coming from a water fall.

Allison’s Digital Typography Picture

            From observing Allison’s Digital Typography Picture, it is of a fuzzy dandelion with the word wish in it. It also has the sky as its background which means that the picture was taken looking up.

            I think that this piece of art is organized very well because the word and the picture fit perfectly together. The way that the colors play a role in this picture are; all light and aerie colors that you would assume to be for this type of picture.           

How I think this photo portrays to the word in it and the audience is that when you blow off all of the fuzzes, you make a wish. So I think that this picture really fits together to serve its purpose.

Iconic Photo Critique

                                             Lewis W. Hine (America 1874-1940)
                                           Icarus Atop Empire State Building, 1931


Lewis Wickes Hine was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on September 26, 1874. He bought his first camera in 1903 and began to take pictures to help with his teaching. He mostly took these pictures to show poverty and children who worked in sweat shops.

I really liked this photo because it just jumped out at me by having the picture so focused on the man that you don't really see a background right away. As you start to observe the image, you can see that he is very high up in the sky because the skyscrapers are so small.

This photo is significant because it portrays all of the risk that Americans had to take while on the job.
