Automatic Photography: First Attempt

Below are some of the images from my first attempt at automatic photography. I took these while blindfolded with my camera on Priority setting (as described in my previous post). While most of the photos I took were blurry or boring (or both), I do like the ones below.


Out of the 200-odd shots I took around my house, this is my favourite. I love the way it is lit. My eye is drawn to the wall first, but then I notice the shadow in the laundry basket, begging the question, 'What's the creating the shadow?'


I like the texture of this image, the shallow depth of field serves only to heighten the impact of it. I think if I tried the image in black and white, it might be even more effective.


I like this one simply because (to me at least) it is aesthetically pleasing. Blue is clearly the most dominant colour in the image, followed closely by the brown-orange of the brickwork. I like the way I have somehow managed to capture two solar flares in the image; one in the window and one on the left of the image.


I like the depth in this image, the building really stands out from the skyline, giving an imposing feel to the image, almost like the house will topple onto the viewer.


I like the amount of dark space in this image, allowing the eyes to focus more on the outside. Like many of the other photos I took, dominant colours are greens and blues, not taking into account the rather more dominant black.


Above is a contact sheet of several images. Some of them work well (and I have used them above) and some of them do not work that well, the ones I feel do not work well are because they are blurred (e.g. bottom right).
