Wide Angle Close Up Image Bank

The image looks as though its been shot with a flash as, the close up frog is the only thing that is bright, the backdrop looks dull and dark. The wide angle helps to give a view into the environment of the frogs habitat, the flash also helps to draw attention to the only close up part of the image being the main subject of the frog. The light for the close up is also projected on to the log that the frog is perched on, creating an interesting angle. 

The fungi in this photo look life sized, the angle on the floor level is really cool as it gives us the perspective we're looking up at the trees, the wide angle creates this effect, the close up is really clear and natural, the out of focus backdrop emphasises the definition on the close up subject. The mossy bottom that the mushrooms are on are just as in focus as the main subject.

This image represents youth, the angle is the main component which makes the image so effective as it really gives a scope into the scene, the girl looking up means we can see her expression, fun really sets the theme and it means the close up part of the shot is a lot more interesting. The wide angle part of the shot means that context is shed on the light, capturing her movements in still image, on the swing, the image looks like it has been taken with a fish eye lens giving a good scope to the shot.

The Close up part to this image, is very clear and bright, it automatically captures the viewers attention as it stands out more than any other part in the image. The angle of the shot makes for a really aesthetically pleasing wide angle shot, as the whole shot encapsulates the rest of the field, the flowers, trees and the sky making for both elements in the shot as very effective.

This image shows the importance Wide angle plays on understanding the context of the image, and the value that it has in showing a scene. In this shot, the Wide angle shows a metro or tube, with the carriage and people as the backdrop. The Close up part is the man, he is staring into the camera, the expression on his face and what he is doing is found in the context of the whole image ie the wide angle element.

Wide Angle Close Up Work Diary

For this shoot I took pictures around the college and garden, I tried to incorporate the two elements of wide angle and close up in the same image, I took some images where the wide angle were out of focus and some where the whole shot was in focus, I am happy with some of the results I got. 

Favourite-

This is my favourite of the images, as I love the clarity, the lighting, I think that the focus is crisp and clear on the subject of the aeroplane, the way the lights are all blurred in the background helps to make your eyes more automatically drawn to the main subject, creating a nice tonality in the shot. The Wide angle element of the shot is obviously the room, the close up (the aeroplane), the frame of the image is perfect in representing both elements and how they work together as a composition. The contrast is really stark and strong in the shot, there are lots of different tones of green, this is very aesthetically pleasing against the bright light and white backdrop, there are also a few leading lines in the composition, the main subject being an interesting shape has many lines in different directions, but one of the main lines that catches the viewers attention is in the middle of the shot; the lights moving down the centre of the shot, illuminating the whole image and drawing attention to different elements. I took the image without a tripod and close up maybe in future I could improve the image by having a higher ISO as the image is very heavy and dark, which can be seen as negative to the composition.

Worst-

This is my least favourite image, because of the overexposed look of light and the lack of defintion, however it is a good representation of wide angle and close up in an image. I particularly like the camera angle used as I took it from a low angle as to capture the close up subjective of the leaves against the wide backdrop of the building. The frame of the shot includes the top part of the leaves covering the backdrop of the overexposed building, the lines in the composition look strange yet interesting as the leading lines are not  quite horizontal or vertical, but both diagonally slanted, adding an interesting layer to the shot. Factors that could improve the shot are making sure the levels of light in the image, turning down the iso, blurring out the backdrop.

Progression-
Since I want to do documentary style as my photography project, wide angle close up shooting may be very useful as generally street photography is something I want to focus on in my project so I imagine that this shooting technique may be very effective at shooting context, such as portraiture with a backdrop or showing the relation between a main subject and the backdrop.

Wide Angle And Close Up Technique

1. Definition-
2. Wide Angle: (of a lens) having a short focal length and hence a field covering a wide angle.

   
   

   Close up: a photograph taken at close range or with a long focal-length lens, on a relatively large scale.

   
   

   Macro: Photography producing photographs of small items larger than life size.
