Surrealism vs Realism
(My Interpretation)
Camera used: Nikon D3100 (55mm lens)
Surrealism
I
found capturing surrealism much more difficult especially because we
had to take untouched pictures without any editing. My interpretation of
surrealism is taking everyday objects and turning them into something
else, so we used this white shoe as a phone. I think we grasped what
surrealism was but I think the execution could have been better. For
this image we left the camera on auto focus which I think worked well as
both the foreground and background are in focus. However it caused the
camera to flash which gave too much light around the face and caused a
slight red eye.
We
tried a different setting and mode for the second attempt which I did
think worked better. The camera mode was on portrait and the aperture
was F.3 to make sure the foreground and background were both in focus.
However the picture is a little dark because it was taken in the shade
with the light in the background, but I don't mind this too much and
thought it gave quite a nice effect.
For
our final image we wanted an indoor location with a colourful cartoon
aesthetic. We found this large cardboard hand and thought that it would
be good for a surrealism picture that wasn't edited. The camera was on
landscape mode which was perfect for getting a wide image all in focus
and the aperture was F.3 to create a large depth of focus. Overall, I
think that the image worked well especially on the bright blue
background, and looks like a good quality image due to the camera
settings we chose.
