first off I really like this picture! the picture is taken just as the dog is stretched fully vertical with an effort to reach its goal, the stick. Loking at this shot i feel a little sympathy for the dog because it is trying so hard to reach the stick wereas the person is holding the stick with little effort and yet still the dog struggles. the angle is mostly straight, but slightly below giving the viewer a feel that you are looking up at the dog. The medium shot gives the viewer a glipse of the surroundings as well as a close enough view of the subject and action to see most of the details, like the brown underbelly of spanky. From what one is able to see of the background, the trees are bare, there are no clouds and the grass is brown and dried up giving the aura of a crisp fall day. The person holding the stick is slightly cut off of the picture, giving the viewer a sense of curiosity. The slight shadow on his face also creats this feeling because one can't make out his face. The bright sunlight creats a glare at the bottom of the picture and also leads your eye to look at spanky, the subject of the shot. This sunlight gives off the sense of a beautiful day, in the early afternoon.
well I'm sure i don't have as much to say as Lisa did, but I guess I'll start off with camera angle. It's a low camera angle and creates a feeling that the dog is reaching up and up trying to reach the stick but cannot reach it. The man is hidden with just his body in view making one want to know more about him. This picture also isnt too close up so you can see part of the man and the backround. Really good picture for analysis.
In this photo is a teenage boy, by the looks of his clothes, who is holding a stick that a puppy has a hold of. The camera techniques used are a flat angle and medium shot. The flat angle gives us the view from another dog's perspective. This puts us on the same level as the dog and reminds us that our daily struggles are not unlike those of the puppy trying to get his teeth around that stick. The medium shot allows us to focus in on the action, and yet take in the surroundings. The action seems to be taking place in a park somewhere with a wooden-boarded hockey rink in the background. It looks familiar and because the majority of people in this world have probably been to a park before, it makes the viewer feel like this is something that they could see and/or relate to. It looks a little like Weber park, in fact. The lighting is natural, and illuminates the dog, drawing the viewer in. It's a beautiful day. The stick, the boards, and the sunrays all create leading lines to the glowing puppy. The story behind this photograph is that the puppy is dangling in the air like he's just been through a relentless strife and is not going to let go of his prize.It gives the viewer a sense of comfort in the fact that hard work yields a reward, but once you attain that reward, you can't let it slip through your grasp.
Composition: It is a picture of a older boy (I'd guess 18) holding a stick that a dog is leaping to reach. The dog is at the peak of his jump, finally getting the stick he so desires. They are in the middle of a melted hockey rink with old wooden boards.
Angle: It is a flat angle, making us feel as if we are with the boy and watching the dog jump for the stick. What is intresting is that the camera angle is flat to the dog, not to the boy, making us look only at the dog, rather than being distracted by the boy holding the stick.
Distance; It is a medium shot, giving the ability to look at the surrounds yet keeping us close enough to clearly see the dog. This adds to the effect that the viewer is there, because if you were watching, you wouldn't be right on top of the dog trying to make the jump, you'd stand back a little.
Lighting and Shadow: All the light in the picture is from the sun in the background. This lighting is at their backs and creates a half silhouette. This creates leading lines, that lead to the dog's mouth finally getting the stick he desires.
