Online Alt. Camera Angles

This photo was taken at a straight on angle, but the camera was turned. The angle of this photo makes it look like the man is on a balcony, looking over a sideways world. In reality, the man is turned with the camera, but everything else is up right. The photographer did a great job of capturing the surroundings, to make it seem like the trees are a wall. This photo is asymmetrical, with the lines of trees down the middle, but slightly off center. This was a successful photo because the photographer really shows an interesting angle. They metered the camera perfectly to catch the right lighting. They also caught the movement in the water, without making it blurry. The different colors and textures of the sky and the water leads the viewer to believe a lot of things. For example, they look like they are almost at war, and the man is leading the water. But it could cause a completely different view and remind you of the dad from Ponyo. One person commented, “Look at the way his jacket is hanging. The photo was taken sideways like the others. He has very strong fingers and toes.” The contrast between the background and the trees switches from the bottom to the top. Meaning at the bottom the background is lighter while the trees are darker, but at the top its vise versa. The trees are closer in distances at the top of the photo, but as your eyes trail down the center line, the trees have more spacing. It catches my attention how so many different ideas can come from one image.
