This project required 2 images in which there were 2 isolated objects in the frame. These should be naturally occurring situations. The point is made in the notes that such situations will not be easy to come by. I found this to be definitely true, and this project was much harder to complete than the single point project and the subsequent projects on "lines". I also found the end images a bit disappointing, and they were certainly not the more inspiring images from my catalogue.
The 2 swans were sitting on the ice on a frozen lake. The main difficulty was finding a viewpoint which captured both the swans comfortably in the frame, at sufficient size that they were clearly identifiable. Ideally 2 swans looking in opposite directions may have added sufficient tension to give the image a bit more interest. I feel that both swans are equally dominant for different reasons. The curled up swan attracts attention by virtue of its closer proximity. However the more classic pose of the other swan, and it's implied eye line, make it equally dominant. A diagonal line is created between the swans which does work well in this particular image.
The lighthouse and the virtually full moon was a difficult shot because the moon was at such a height that a wider angle lens was required to fit them both into the frame. However this rendered the moon very small in the frame. However its brightness, and clear identification, means it can hold its own as a point. The lighthouse is more dominant as a point, and another diagonal was created between the 2 points.
The classic close up of 2 eyes creates an image that you just stare back at.
