This assignment was really awesome because I was able to look back at pictures and videos I had taken in the past and use them to demonstrate sights, sounds, and motions. Looking at these pictures after taking Introduction to Multimedia, I realize that I know so much more about the images. I am now able to analyze and appreciate aspects of the pictures I have taken in the past that I wasn't even aware of when I was taking the pictures!
Both of these pictures demonstrate the ways that motion can still be incorporated in a still image. I took the first picture while I was driving to New York at night with one of my roommates. I thought the lights on the bridge were really pretty so I wanted to capture the image. However, because we were driving and in motion, when I looked at the picture, the lights were blurred. I think that this makes the picture even more interesting and, in a way, adds some extra context to the picture.
I took the following picture on a lake in Wisconsin. This picture shows motion in a different way than the picture of the bridge above. I love how choppy the waves in the water look. Although the picture itself is a still image, it is clear to viewers that at the time the picture was taken, the water was in motion.
Another aspect of this picture I like is the shadowing in it. When I took this picture, I was standing in front of a large house that was blocking some of the sun, creating a shadow over the beach and part of the lake. When a view is aware of the motion of the waves and the sight of the shadow, they are able to develop so much context. For example, they might infer that because of the shade, it might have been a chilly day. If they notice the motion of the water, they might be able to imagine the sounds of the water.
