Speed Challenge Quiz

Edited

Original 

• The qualities that I admired in Mac Stone's photos were: 
• The stories behind the photos
• The depth of the subject, foreground or background 
• The obvious subject in the photo.
• The quality I like most in my photo is the obvious subject.
• I think my shot is amazing because it wasn't the shot I was going to initially use and I didn't think that into planning to this photo, I just did a point and shoot and the picture turned out better than I thought.
• I used the grid on the camera hack to take the photo so I could use rule of thirds. I also adjusted the hues of the photo by using a hue and saturation layer. Lastly, I cropped the photo to fill the scene with only the subject.
• This was a challenge because I didn't just want another photo of the school, I wanted to put something into the school to add interest to it.
• Element of art- Space 
• Principle of Design- Proportion/Scale

Exploring Landscapes 2

#1

#2 

#3

Responses:

• I did try to use the rue of thirds and in photos #2 and #3 I focused on the sky and in photo #1 I emphasized the land.
• I used proportion in #3 to show the different sizes between the cars and the houses.  I also used rhythm in photo #1 with the repetitive trees in the background.
• Photo #1 was taken before sunrise and photos #2 and #3 were taken mid day. I think these were bad times to take photos because the lighting was off.
• I don't think I did a very good job with the foreground and background relationship. My pictures have objects in the background but not many in the foreground.

  Burned Edges 

Channel Mixer

Lab Color Method

Gradient Map

Desaturation

Responses:

• I think the Gradient Map produced the best result.
• I did not achieve a big value range for all of them, only Gradient Map and Desaturation gave me a good value range.

Macro/Fisheye lenses

Macro

Fisheye

Fisheye 2

Responses:

1. I personally liked using the macro lens because it shows a lot of detail and texture in the photo even though it took a little bit of time to get it focused on the right spot.
2. My favorite shot was the macro shot because the focus was on the tiny flower inside the big flower.
3. The fisheye 2 shows the best rule of thirds because the focus is dead center.
