Assignment #10: Gastown Scavenger Hunt

For this assignment we were taken to Gastown in Vancouver, where we were given a list of 20 items/words to photograph. The point was to see our own individual interpretations for 10 of these items/words. This is my result!




Boots  

This is the photo I chose for boots because I like how the light red contrasted with the dark red and the green of the trees. Also I wanted this photo to have a cool angle so I crouched down to take this if i remember correctly, otherwise im just short lol 

Gaoler Mews                  

I chose this photo for Gaoler Mews cause I really like how the turquoise triangle under the sign brings colour to the photo. I also like this because the drain pipe as well as the sign is placed on one of the 3rds in the photos.

Gassy ____.                            

.                                             

I chose this photo because this is the Gassy Jack statue in Gastown. As far as compositional rules go, this would be angle of view shot.
I'm hot & steamy                           

Unfortunatly I completely forgot about compositional rules on this but this was my inturpretation of "Im hot & steamy" because I know this clock steams I think every half hour!

Light                     

This is the photo that I chose for lights because I was not entirely sure what this person was taking a picture of but how it ended up was cool because the lights kinda lead you to look at him or vise versa. for compostional rules, I would say that this follows rule of thirds, repetition and leading lines.

New vs Old

this is the new vs old. In this photo the new would be the graffitti and the old would be the brick. I think this photo would be contrast because of the dark brick to the colour of the art.

Stereotypical Tourist Pose              

This is an obvious tourist pose thanks to a friend of mine who was so helpful...until my camera died! this was the best shot out of the multiple ones we took before a ton more tourists came to do touristy poses LOL. This would totally be a scale composition!


Trains                                           

This is the shot that I chose for trains because I really like how it stretched far into the distance along with the train tracks which leads me to the composition of the shot being, Leading Lines!

W                                        

I looked on Google to find out what is signifigant about the W in Vancouver and it turns out it used to Woodwards which is now where the SFU campus is now located. I liked this because when looking on Google Images I found actual photoshoots of couples (married or not) and this must of been where they met. Compositional rules, id say would be repetition of the grate type pannels in the back on the apartment.


Working Hard                                              

And at last the 10th photo! This man here was getting ready to pack up for the day when I kindly asked him to pose for me, after I told him what this was for. His artwork caught my eye more so than others so I had to ask him. Thanks stranger :) as for composition.... nothing extreme but maybe rule of thirds because thats where he is in the photo.
