PICTURES AT POTTER'S CAY DOCK

 really didn't like this assignment.  I couldn't find anything interesting to photograph and whatever I did find, I was too irritated by the disgusting men and the rain to find a proper angle to capture the subject.  (Sighs) That's no excuse I know, but still.  It was very uncomfortable and it annoyed me so much I could hardly focus.

Anyway, I looked through my pictures and was happy to discover that I actually liked a few of them.

Here they are!

Photo Name: The Tethered Connection

Yes so this is my favorite picture that I took.  The tethered rope in this picture was my focus because it shows a connection between the sea and the land.  The details of the rope is very clear on the far right corner of the picture and then the length of the rope is shown using the depth of field.

Photo Name: In Control

This picture just shouted 'Control' when I looked at it closely.  I was actually inside of a boat/ship when I took this picture.  I have no idea what the black ball thing is in the center but when I took the shot it reminded me of some kind of control panel.  Also, the picture makes the viewer look as if he/she is in control of the world laid out before him/her.

Photo Name: Rainy Dock

Photo Name: Fish Belly Pink

Photo Name: Artistic Depth

Photo Name: Conch Shell Cay

Photo Name: Rope Across the Blue

WEEK TEN, DAY 5: Bahamian Agriculture

Tuesday 23rd March 2010

Yet again, there isn't much to say about this picture.  It's really not interesting at all.  It showcases the produce and the Minister of Agriculture and Marine Resources the Hon. Lawrence Cartwright.

WEEK TEN, DAY 4: Boring

Monday 22nd March 2010

There is nothing exciting or appealing about this picture.  It's just plain and boring.  The composition is very straight forward.

WEEK TEN, DAY 3: Crime Scene

Friday 19th March 2010

Another important reason for photography is that without it, people wouldn't have as much knowledge about a particular crime.  The first picture shows beneath the Oakwood train station where a 10-year-old girl's body was found.  The second picture gives even more information by showing the train tracks and the arches where the girl was found.  The pictures are amazing in terms of composition.  Each part of the picture tells a certain part of the crime scene story.

WEEK TEN, DAY 2: Grayscale

Thursday 18th March 2010

There's something about this picture I really like.  I don't exactly know if it's the fact that this is a black and white photo or if it's the simplicity of this shot.  Maybe it's both because they bring a certain historical feel to this picture.

WEEK TEN, DAY 1: Composition of a Severely Damaged Building

Wednesday 17th March 2010

This picture was taken at a wonderful angle.  It shows the devastation and damage of a bomb that struck the area of Iraq in 2003.  There isn't a lot of light coming into the building and that lack of light gives the picture a very mysterious feel.  The composition of the picture is also amazing as it shows many particular aspects of the building such as the crumbling steps and the support beams that still manage to hold up the severely damaged building.
