Movement

This photo above was taken by the photographer Sylvia Rossler. This photo inspired me greatly because the idea of taking a photo of something whilst in motion to me seems incredible. This photo lead me take photos like this one of my own like the ones bellow. The main focal point of this image is the falling water droplet which draws you in to the photo and because the image has been taken at a more close up angle it makes the image look more powerful and interesting to look at. Also the water droplet is sitting on the top horizontal line (Rule of thirds) which also focuses the eyes right to the droplet. Overall i think this photo represents movement very well.
I think this photo is also a good representation of movement due to falling water droplet. Like the photo above by Sylvia Rossler, this photos main focal point is the droplet right in the center. I used the rule of thirds here to line the ripples up right in the center so that it draws attention to it and to also make it look more affective rather than at the top because the main focus of the picture is the ripples, so that is why they are placed in the center. Unlike the picture above the ripples have to be placed in the center rather than the top because that is where the motion is happening.
This photo I like particularly well because if you look carefully you can see directional lines coming from the water droplet as it is in motion . The use of timing and framing adds to the photo because without it I wouldn't of had the directional lines coming from it. However I do not like this photo because of the images in the background, next time i will think clearly about my background and have it black.
I like this photo because it looks as it the water is coming out from the bowl in a swirling motion. I think this photo is relevant for the topic 'Movement'. The main focal point of this image is the "swirling ripple" which is what i was trying to achieve. Also the fact that the picture is lined up in the center of the photo draws the eye directly to it. However once again i do not like this image due to the background, next time i shall use a black background to make the white bowl stand out form the contrasting background.
