Details
* Location: Botanic Gardens
* Time: 1800hrs
Reflection
* One : Realistic
* Two : Formalistic
* Three : Expressionistic
I chose Botanic Gardens because my initial subject of interest was the creeper plants creeping up the trees or walls. However, was I was walking around the garden looking for a good shot, I chanced upon this dark creepy tunnel along this little trail. I felt that this set of photos really suit the theme very well. The thick layer of hanging creepers was blocking the sunlight, creating this dark creepy feeling for anyone who passes through the tunnel. Even when I was inside this tunnel snapping my photos, I had this feeling that there were eyes watching my every movement through the vegetation. Photo One is my realistic take of the subject; I increased the brightness to show the actual natural tunnel, because the hanging creepers above were blanketing any sunlight from entering. For Photo Two, I took a close up of the creepers above me to represent the formalistic angle. I thought the intricate interlacement of the creepers was expressing the beautiful and abstract pattern of nature. My expressionistic take is shown in Photo Three. As I was snapping my photos, this lady in the photo happened to walk by. I was quite impressed with her courage for walking through this lonely trail and creepy tunnel by herself. I was wondering if she was ever worried for her own safety before she entered this trail.
Self-Assessment
I would rate this assignment 80/100. (40 for creativity and 40 for effort)
