Week Two: Same Object, Different Perspectives

This week my assignment was to take 6 to 7 photos of the same subject from varying perspectives. I decided to shoot a piece of farm machinery that sits in a field across the road from my house. We were supposed to choose our two favorites and compare and contrast them, but I could only narrow it down to three.

Up first is a general shot of the entire piece of equipment. I think it gives a pretty good idea of what it might feel like to be standing there in person. There was no flash because of the sunny day.


The next photo is a close-up of the belt system at the rear of the machinery. I believe this was used for ejecting square hay bales up and out the back. Anyway, I like this photo because of the abstract nature of it. You can't really tell what the subject is. The snow in the background is way too bright, though.


The third is my favorite. I love the color saturation, the textures, everything.

Very nice. Tractors and old equipment are really excellent subjects. One, they are all over the place because they are part of the history of Vermont. And two, when, as you have found, you get close they become really beautiful abstract pieces.
