The Green Mountain Climbing Wall has been up and running only since October after it closed a few years ago. Now it is open for people of all ages to climb. In this picture Sean is climbing while Ben belays him. On the wall are posters explaining what different level climbs are, regular climbs and bouldering ones. There is also a mini wall next to these posters that children use when waiting to be belayed and where we play twister. This photo is taken from the top of a volcano on another wall across the gym.
Five red lines that streak up and down the picture are lines of perspective that draw the eyes from the bottom of the picture of Ben belaying up to Sean climbing the wall. These ropes also cut the picture into thirds as well as bisecting it. Ben and Sean are each framed by two ropes, they each have a rope on either side of them but no over them to block them out of the picture. The bright light in the corner adds contrast to the rest of the picture.
This picture shows Ben while he belays Peter. The
rope that Peter uses is attached to Bens’ carabineer, which is attached to his
harness. To belay Ben just pulls the rope through and locks it by holding it
down like in the picture. This picture shows contrast as the wall behind Ben is
much lighter compared to his dark clothes. Looking at the picture your eyes
would travel up and down because of the ropes and the wall, which is lighter up
top and gets slightly darker farther down the wall.
This is a picture of a wall from the base looking
up. At the very top you can see where the rope ends at the top of the wall. The
footholds and handholds that travel up the wall give it depth. The lines on the
ceiling look like they are pointing in to the top right corner of the picture
and the top of the wall.
This picture is of my feet climbing up the wall.
Right now I’m climbing a white on the Volcano which is one of the easiest
climbs. I changed this photo to black and white to cut out some of the obvious
blurriness to the picture and give it a still life feel even though it’s of
movement. The contrast in this picture begins with the light in the corner that
spreads out throughout the picture to the darkness of my climbing shoes.
This is a photo of Peter climbing. He is trying
to flash climb a yellow. This means he is trying to climb a 5:11 without ever
climbing it before. A 5:11 is one of the most difficult climbing paths. This
yellow climb requires a lot of smearing, matching, and a possible dino. These
mean it requires staying up close to the wall, putting two hands on one
handhold, and jumping from one hold to another. This picture shows layers, with
the rope in the foreground, Peter in the middle, and all the walls in the
background. The ropes from Peter and the one tied in a knot upfront lead the
focus up the picture.
In this photo a climber is climbing up a green
path. Green is a level 5:8 climb which is a reasonably hard climb and even harder
on a wall with a slight incline like this one. Contrast is the main controller
in this photo. The light automatically draws your eye but afterwards it will
draw your eyes to the actual subject of the photo, which is the climber. This
will then lead your eye into darker areas of the picture and then back up to
the light with the help of the ropes. The ropes lead up and down the picture
and two of them seemingly go right into the light at the top.
