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.
