On Monday we reviewed the New York Times Lens blog article about Magnum photographers. Today you will choose your transformative photo. What single photo have you taken this school year that changed how you view photography? Why? (include the photo and an explanation) (20)
Transformative Photo：
How and Reasons: This single photo changed me because in my old view for photography is that I always believed that good photos were always taken in a original state, do not need the technology to fix or edit. However, from this project, it changed my view for photography how amazing that photography could turn an ugly or simply stuff to pretty and distinctive. Beautiful things are probably not its most original state. Like this photo, how ugly or worldliness is a single badminton birdie, however, through I took it in a container then edited, I made the birdies more interesting and beautiful to see.
What is the difference between shape and form? Include the links from your Elements of Art post that define Shape and Form (10) You might need to include two links or one from your blog.
Shapes (my blog post for shape) are two-dimensional shapes. And it is a closed line like circles, squares, and triangles. Shapes are flat and made by length and width. like my photo which I took in front of office, its flower shows the triangle, circle and ellipse. However, Forms (my blog post for form) are three-dimensional shapes, they are made by length, width, and depth (or height), like pyramids, cylinders, boxes, and balls. In this photo, which I took near a classroom. It shows nuts' length, width and depth between each level of cracking part of nuts.
What is the difference between pattern and repetition? Include your links that define pattern and repetition. (10) You should include two separate links.
Pattern (my blog post for pattern) is a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a regular arrangement, like my second picture which I took at my home, the differed color of lines repeated in a square arrangement to form carpet; however, Repetition (my blog post for repetition) refers to one object or shape repeated again and over again. In my photo which I took front of library, the woods of building was repeated.

Link 1: First Commercial Shoot
Link 2: Presentation Project
Link 3: Final Project - Badminton
Choose: Of the last three projects, I think “the Final Project – Badminton” was my best work.
Link of my best work: http://yilongzeng.weebly.com/blog/final-project-badminton
Reasons: I think this was my best work. Based on my other two projects’ experience, I concluded them to do this final project. I paid more attention on lights, like I took picture at different time of day; Also, I made up the badminton birdies, for example, I put the LED lights in each birdie, make sure the feather of birdies are clean and smooth After took this picture, I used camera raw to edit it, made them more colorful.
How did this project change you: This project changed me, Because not like other two which are teamwork that I can relax or do less thing than other people, however, it's a individual work, so that everything should be done by myself, also spent a lot of time to search topic, considered where to take, what to take and how to take. And it direct me to research online that how to adjust camera during different types of situation and how to edit in camera raw, so that I learned the camera and photoshop usage deeply. In short, this project made me solving problem more aggressive, and no one can help you solve, you should do your own thing.
How did you learn to see differently: From this class and after all project, I learned that we can’t compete the works each other. Because everyone is spending time to work, thinking about their work, and actually do their work, they will take photos when they think it’s the best work. I now see no one’s work will be same or relate same stories in it. I see the different parts of whole world in every different cameras.
