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.

Selfie


Rule of Thirds

"Ditch the Face, Let the Feet do the Talking"
Represents Me: Family

Crop in Close
My Choice
  1. My favorite shot was the picture that represents me, it shows genuine happiness and family. I am smiling along with my younger cousin and my father. The picture is overall positive with the bright colors in the background and the happiness in our faces.
  2. The hack I used was the burst of photos on rule of thirds and the photo that represents me.
