Field Notes of a boho rustic arrangement |
Side A Left Column Notes The overhead dining light is on casting shadows to the right side of the still life, should I have changed the lighting before starting? A obvious triangular composition is shown with the containers in the front view and I wonder if this is due to me placing the tallest item centrally when setting up. The vines are reaching out to the translucent bottle that is refracting the coloration of the antler threw it and towards the tarnished sugar container. My own reflection is shown in the tarnished sugar container and I wonder if I will be able to see that when photographing. | Side A Right Column Notes Observation from left to right. A tarnished sugar tea service container slightly in front of a translucent bottle with a skinny neck and delicate raised designs on the outside . Next to the bottle is an old rusted girl scouts peanut crunch container with a purple and green vine plant spilling out from the top. Behind these containers is a deer antler and even though you can not see it a gray felt hand made bunny. |
Side B Left Column Notes Is this side a more visually attractive layout because its closer to the rule of thirds composition? Why do I like this side better than the Side A? Its interesting how the girl scout container is refracting in the translucent bottle this time and that the vine leaves are hugging the outside of the bottle. I think the lighting looks better at this angle as well even though the shadows do seem a bit to strong. | Side B Right Column Notes The antler is in clear view this time and it frames over the gray felt hand made bunny without actually touching it. The swooping arch of the antlers curve also hugs along the translucent bottle which is refracting the yellow tone from the girl scout container. The tarnished sugar container is now on the right side of the bottle. |
Reflection
In the first 5 minutes of this exercise I did my best to give rich describing words to the items in the still life and use my words to help mentally place where they are in relation to other items. I tried not to stop writing as well but sometimes there was a hiccup in my thought process before I got going again. The second 5 minutes started out easier but at the same time I was worried about too much repetition and that would cause my reader to become bored. The second 5 minutes I feel that I was more successful with writing on the right side column where I still think I was better on the left side column for the first 5 minutes. I personally believe that this exercise was very useful in working on differentiating on thoughts/questions vs. actual what's in front of you. It also exercised my brain on coming up with rich yet specific descriptors of items. The most difficult part of this was to continually write to continue with my thoughts and not get distracted. To work on and improve my observation skill I will need to practice my focus and to take the time to step back and actually look deeper not just glance and write the first thing that comes to mind.
