Movement

In this assignment, we needed to take an image representing movement. For creating my image I went to Popham beach over the weekend and noticed that the wind was blowing the sand around, making cool patterns. This image has informal balance, high horizon line, sharp focus, and leading lines. I like how much depth and layers this photo has with the clouds and nice lighting, the tree line, the water, then the sand. In the darkroom, I struggled a little bit getting this to come out okay. I exposed it for 4 seconds with a 3 filter which was perfect for the lights and darks and the contrast. However, The sand was so much lighter then the sky- too light, but the sky was perfect so I had to solve this issue. I used the burning and dodging method and had a friend press the button to expose the paper while I did that and it came out perfect first try. I'm happy with this image, it has very rich colors to it and it is very clear that the photo is of moving sand which I was worried about.
