Assignment #3


Grand Prix of the Automobile Club of France By Jacques Henri Lartigue
In this photo movement is shown because the car in the foreground is slanted a little and the background is blurry which portrays movement. The car is in focus mostly but there is some blur around the tires and the ground is blurry so this also helps portray that the car is moving. Movement is important in this photo because it adds to the composition. If the photo didn't convey movement there would just be a car and people looking at it. The composition would change completely and it wouldn't have the same feeling and you wouldn't be as drawn to it as you are when movement is conveyed. When movement is conveyed you want to know why the car is racing, where it's going, and what's going to happen next. If there wasn't any movement you wouldn't have any of these questions and it would make it kind of boring. The set up of the picture adds to the composition because since the car isn't in the middle of the picture, it draws your eye through the picture to the car so you can tell it's moving and you wonder where it's going. The people in the background also add to the picture because they add another clue to the picture, so you wonder why people are watching this car race by. I want to be able to show movement while still having a good quality photograph so i want to work on adjusting the iso so i can get the best quality photo possible.
