The following six images are ones I’ve completed previously. In each one I’m going to look at its balance. The red areas highlight the dominant parts of the image and these areas are then translated onto the balance diagram.
This view is of part of The Sage in Gateshead
The dominant areas and balance diagram are as below:
These areas were easy to determine and the balance looks about right to me – keep it simple.
An early morning waiting for the tide at Staithes.
The dominant areas were not easy to isolate and the resultant balance diagram didn’t seem to be that well balanced. I’d have to say that in hindsight the image isn’t well balanced – the cliff is far too dominant.
Tangles in the groynes at Sandsend.
This was again quite easy to select the dominant parts and the balance diagram looks reasonable too.
Barnacles 2x2 taken at Sandsend to demonstrate HDR, then treated with high colour saturation. At first sight it looks complicated to separate the main areas, but in fact they were quite easy:
There are two main areas on each side of the image which I think balance very well
Coda – a self portrait.
This is obviously an image composed from many. Forgetting the woods, musical instruments and shadows, the dominant features are easy to determine.
The balance is almost symmetrical
Salmon Pink
This is obviously an easy one to determine – keep it simple
Again the balance is symmetrical. This one is easy to live with and now I know why.
It’s been interesting analysing my own images instead of waiting for others to do it for me.
