Apples on a Table: Visual Tension

Uploaded: January 27, 2008 16:44:25

Description

This is an attempt to show some visual tension. The tension (I believe) comes from the disruption in the perfect balance – in the form of the single green apple, and (more subtlety) the imperfect position of several of the apples (upside down, sideways, etc.) in contrast to their perfect position on the table and the perfect position of the chairs. FYI, this photo was taken at a hotel conference room with no elaborate staging.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/8 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 500, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 28.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
