Assignment #5: designing a photographic essay

For this assignment, I was inspired by the essay topic "a day in the life". When I do not have school, a day in my life is filled with driving to new places and adventuring. I go to cool scenery spots and places with lots of nature or roads with views. For my essay, I took one of my friends along with me and we adventured. We went to different spots with views, trees, and street views, which are the three main things I love photographing. The places I either adventure to are around the area where I live, Half Moon Bay, and San Francisco. Since I always go to the city or the beach, I decided to stay local. My theme throughout these pictures was to fully grasp my three main things I love photographing. These are an adventure filled day in my life:

The first place we stopped at was a viewpoint in Hillsborough and we walked down below the main area to find cooler spots.

The second place was at a viewpoint in San Carlos.

This one was taken at the second location but a little further up; I chose this one because the pattern on the ground made it interesting.

The third place we stopped at was on one of the trails on CaƱada Road.

This photo was taken at a road a few minutes from my house that I loved because of the scenery in the background.

  1. I'm not certain about what I'm actually looking at here. I appreciate your thoughts but, in essence, all I'm really seeing is the back of a young woman. Your composition doesn't really show either the adventure or the locations. The focus is on Jordan. The first and the 4th images are not really about location at all as there are trees/bushes but nothing to indicate either where you were or what she might be doing. As for the "day in the life of" concept, the lighting is very similar in each of these as well and I'm not really getting a sense of any passage of time throughout the day either. I'm confused and we should probably talk about this.
