Storytelling Apertures

Storytelling apertures usually have 3 components being the fore-,middle-, and background. If you want a "sharp" or clear image then its best to use a small aperture. Wide angle lens are best to capture as much of the image as possible to tell the most of your story. 17-18 mm lenses will be best for a wide composition. Just make sure that you choose the right aperture to go with your wide angle view! In order to have 3 equal parts make sure that your foreground is close. Normally people will back away from the foreground component in order to get more of the background which isn't good because the foreground will seem really small and ineffective. Storytelling apertures can also be small angled. The image is more narrow but it can still work pretty well because the image will be very sharp.

Observations Over Pages 125-162

I wasn't quite sure how to "read" these images but I can say how I felt about them. The image on page 126 looks like there are 6 different images put together to make a single "piece". It is so interesting because the pictures were taken at different times--the earliest being 1937! This clearly shows the change over time of cameras and also the landscape. I absolutely love the picture on page 132 because it tells a story of how apple stencils are applied and the result thereof. The images clearly show the process of applying the stencils and the look of afterward. The picture on page 136 is quite different. It shows 3 different pictures next to each other which show a wider frame. It seems as though the boy on the right is choosing to stay on the dock while the other boy looks back as if he want him to come along. The images on pages 144-145 are confusing but I notice a lot of color, textures, shapes, and content. They all seem to relate in some way but are still very different. 147 is really amazing because each frame is turned a different direction but still makes up a large, recognizable image. 159 is probably my favorite because of the positive and negative effect. Each picture is identical yet, they are reversed. It gives a different feel overall. Page 161 is also confusing to me, but photos seem creepy because of the negative effect. Though the images seem eery, the word "Peace" is used in the titles. Overall these portfolios are very different and show a lot of attention to detail.
