Week 11: Illusion of Motion

The Illusion of Motion -


The illusion of motion is created in this photograph using a blurred outlines technique. The clear shot of the highway and scenery is blasted with an intense rush of motion zooming from one edge of the photograph to the complete opposite edge and almost off the entire page!

Much like the previous photograph this one uses blurred outlines as a way to suggest motion. In addition to that, it also slightly suggests the bikers positioning as a way to suggest motion by using multiple image. There are only slight differences in one rider to the next, and the overlapping of their similar forms could suggest that it is only two riders simultaneously peddling past the crowd of onlookers.

This photograph uses the repeated figure as a way to suggest motion. The team flag, which is bright yellow and red, appears in different places throughout the photo. Each flag held by a different member of the crowd, suggesting that the figure is repeating in various situations as well. Repetition creates the illusion of motion in this photograph.

Week 11: Illusion of Space

The illusion of motion in this photograph is created by depicting the transient. A bullet piercing through a line up of Crayola Crayons is something impossible for the eye to catch. The bullet’s speed is too fast for even our most concentrated focus to pick up clearly. The photograph captures this split of a second in a way that no human eye can. One can see as well as feel the bullet piercing through time and space while the photograph remains completely still.

A two dimensional photograph of the Nave of Canterbury Cathedral provides only an ounce of the spectacular greatness one would feel while actually standing in this space. The photographer clearly conveys the idea as well as the feeling of spaciousness, and depth. Even though this is not any grander than a piece of white lined paper in that it is a completely flat image. In this photograph, linear perception is a device used to show depth. As the parallel lines in the walls of the architecture recede, they appear to meet at the vanishing point on the horizon line. This is emphasized even more by the triangular arch of the structure, and the vanishing point is at the very tip of which the two sides of the structure meet. The parallel rows of worshipers also work to provide lines pointing to the vanishing point of the image.

This photograph shows how exaggerated size can be used as a device to show depth. The Roman statue in the foreground of the photograph is exaggerated in size by the angle of the photographers shot.
