In our last assignment Kat said, “Much of finding your eye is just learning to recognize what is already there!” I was a little more skeptical. My pictures just seem so much more varied and random. But then I followed her directions and created a “favorites<\/a>” set in flickr. The nice thing about a set is that you can view it as a slideshow.<\/p>\n

The first time through I didn’t really notice anything – except that I had some really nice pictures in there. : )<\/p>\n

But I watched in through two more times, then three more times. Finally, I started to notice some things…Kat was right! So what did I find?<\/p>\n

Motion<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"260\/365:<\/a><\/p>\n

I do love to capture a sense of motion and this photo is one of my best, I feel. I was practicing panning while my kids were on a boardwalk kiddie park roller coaster. You definitely get a sense of motion with all the colors swirling around them.<\/p>\n

Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"282\/365:<\/a><\/p>\n

I love unusual perspectives. They are tricky though. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. It’s a fine line, I think, between an interesting perspective and one that is unusual merely for the sake of being unusual.<\/p>\n

Rim Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"79\/365:<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s that touch of light along the sides of the subject that helps to define it and separate it from it’s surroundings. Michael Freeman’s book, Perfect Exposure<\/em><\/a> , was my first introduction to the term. He also taught me how to expose properly to capture that light. <\/p>\n

Texture\/Detail<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"215\/365:<\/a><\/p>\n

I almost called this one color — but after viewing the slideshow several times, I decided it was really the texture of the image that was drawing me in. The textures, the different feel to the details, finding a way to combine them into a cohesive image… that’s the challenge of texture.<\/p>\n
