The Five photos that I have chosen according to the points made in "The Photographer's Eye" with relevance to the points that he made: "Detail, Framing, The Thing Itself, Time and Vantage Point".
Each of the photos represent things discussed in the article. In detail, there are points of the photo that stand out to the viewer, things such as the 'Public Market Center' sign and and the little elements of the photo bring the viewer's eye to it (especially the reflection on the wet bricks). For framing, the photo I chose was taken at the Big Four Ice Caves, North Washington state, there isn't much to be said about the photo because the cave itself frames the subjects in the photo and the trees in the background. The cave forms a frame in which the viewer's attention is just drawn to the center focus of the photo. For 'The Thing Itself', I decided to choose a photo that had my two subjects smack right in the center of the photo, there's a difference between the photo and the subjects, the subjects bring the attention of the viewer to the photo, the expressions they have, the stance, the pose all give the viewer a sense of the atmosphere of the scene. For 'Time' I decided to use the time of the day to my advantage, the sun had just peeked through the cloudy skies of Seattle and made a nice color tinge in the clouds and the little puddle in the ground caused a great effect, a reflection from the sky in the water and the colors just popped. It gave a good effect based on the time, if it was too early in the morning I wouldn't have been able to capture the darkness of the scene, if it was in the middle of the day there would be a washed out effect and we wouldn't be able to see the details in the clouds and if it was too dark, there wouldn't be a reflection at all. In 'Vantage Point' I decided to go from a higher point of view and perspective, I was on top of a hill at Kerry Park, Washington facing down at the city below. The vantage point gave me a birds eye kind of view but not totally, it was more of a looking down at the city kind of feeling. It gives you the idea that the city was small enough to fit into one single frame. Vantage point gives the viewer a sense of the whole scene, the whole city was displayed, if I wanted to make the city look too big and over powering I would have picked a photo which was shot from below making the city look big, overwhelming and intimidating.
