~~ Assignment #10: Gastown Scavenger Hunt ~~

Boots *

                      As the list say' boots, and I found this boots store so I took a picture thinking I found the one Im looking for. I used the angel of view to make an accurate shot, because the boot is actually big and I have to angle my camera to take it and have a feeling that you are in this place seeing it from your own eyes and also have this natural feeling on the background.

Wheels *

                    For this picture, I used the rules of third and I guess angle of view. Because the as you can see the huge wheel is tilted a bit on the left and angle it to view the whole place showing how massive the wheel is. I dont have any complain about the photo, it's superb in my prospective.

I'm hot & steamy *

                   When they said hot and steamy, I thought the clock is whistling smoke and dripping hot water and this is it the one I'm looking for. The photograph is pretty much simplicity and shows scale because it shows how tall the clock is comparing to the people around and the whole atmosphere is calming but it concentrated on the elegant clock. I liked the picture so much because it present the old fashion vancouver.

Trounce Alley *

                  I dont know why but I liked the picture so much, it tells a background that is pretty shocking. Trounce Alley or so called Blood alley, they said that this specific area is a jail place and a butcher house back in the days, and they said that blood from the butchered animals flows and floods the place so thats why its called blood alley. But any how, I used none of the compositional rules but I guess it goes to the category of framing because I took the sign to show people its history. 

Stairs *

                      I chose this picture and I liked it because from a far, it shows the style and how old fashion it is and plus the built in stairs are build in purpose for it is noticable in the eye. For this picture, contrast and texture is used, for the color of the bricks are so red matching it with dirty yellow in the middle makes it visible in the eye, and texture because you can see that the used material to make this building is especial for it lasted for years and it gives a depth of feeling when you look at it.

Light *

                     When we passed by this place, I thought of light as it says in the list so I took a shot. I do liked the picture because its inviting and chill in the eyes. I used the angle of view to take the whole thing and show the pleasant feeling of the place, the view makes the eye feel welcomed and calm inside.

Gaoler Mews *

                         I love this photo so much, I get the feeling of the past and this place is pretty historic. Contrast and angel of view is used in this picture, the color of the sign with the color of the bricks makes me want to stare at it and think about the history of it and plus its playful in the eye, and also angel of view for actually the sign is three feet above me so I have to angle it upwards to take a picture and have that dramatic style when you looka t it.

W *

                        The huge "W" signs on top, it looks so cool but I just dont like it that theres so much blockage so I didnt make a good shot, this is pretty much the best one that I took. The W signs shows contrast and scale, because the red color is noticable and made it like a tourist attraction, and imaging the size of it, it already look big from a far imagine if you get close to it, it will be massive.

Working Hard *

                          I thought of working hard so I took of men working hand to hand with dirt all over them, it actually looks cool to see people working hard like this. I guess I used the angle of view and simplicity for this one, not much to tell but the picture itself already tell something and I angled it to make it more better for a shot.

New vs Old *

                      I liked this picture for the New vs Old example, because it cleary show an old building beside the new one. Its pretty cool to think that they havent got rid of the old buildings and instead make a new one and keep the old ones. For this photo I think I used scale, because you can see that the old one is shorter than the new one, in my own understanding, the meaning of scale of this one is that the structure and how how old the shorter building is compare to the new ones, so much interpretation but I think it will fit to the category.
