This week I took photos on a sunny day around campus. I was mostly drawn to taking

macro pictures of plants. I quite like the feel of a picture when the subject is miniscule:

you feel that you have to look closer.

 

I could compare this to larger tree branches.

I could incorporate the fact that it's growing out of the crack in the cement.

 

Something a lot larger would be needed to be compared to this.

 

I could compare this to mountains or hills.

I quite like this piece on its own, especially the diagonal.

 

Again, this could be compaed to a birds-eye shot of a larger terrain.

 

Again, a larger tree, larger branches.

I could incorporate the wall and show a bigger wall with bigger growth.

 

 

Next I will try to work on matching photos and taking birds-eye shots. I am often drawn to nature

but I think I'll try to think outside the box and get some small-scale/large-scale shots out

of manmade things or animals/the human body.

This week I took I focused on taking more macro photos showing patterns and interesting shape or design. Later I hope to take pictures conceptually mirroring the macro photos to show the relation between big and small. Maybe I'll use birds eye view or sharp angles to stretch shape and size.

I could show a birds eye view of a wintery/icy landscape showing the repetitiveness of ice crystals.

I could show a larger shrub or bush that's similar in form.

I could show large metal hooks used for construction or science that stick up like the velcro does.

I could show another bigger-scale part of the body with the same bent shape, maybe legs.

I could show, again, a larger view or ice, maybe a frozen lake.

I could show a much bigger branch bending around itself.

This is one of the few large-scale shots I got, possibly a big scale version of the previous picture.

I could take a birds eye shot of a mountaenous, rocky region with the same texture.

This picture was taken when I was inspired to use layering to create strong emotion. It sticks with me.

I could take a larger picture of a body of water with waves or a whirlpool.

 

 

I really need to take more pictures that are accurate in similarity between macro and large-scale. I also might take both smale and large pictures of the same object, or might need to match up accidentally similar photos of different objects.
