Crop, Move, Selection



Sooo... Im not 100% sure i did this assignment right but I sure tried. The tools were a little confusing but I think it will only take practice in order to get used to everything and what it does and how to use it. I definately enjoyed manipulating the pictures. Its kind of fun not knowing what your going to get when your just fooling around with a new program.

Landscape Photos














I love taking Landscape photos. I think it helps us to appreciate our surroundings. I think a lot of times we take our surroundsing for granted and being able to capture a specific memory and to be able to look back at it we are able to see things that we might not have been able to see before. When we look back on it we may beable to remember what the weather was like that day or what the air felt like or maybe what we were doing. I think sometimes we appreciate pictures of landscapes more than we do just looking at the landscape.

Framing




Compostion

Compotion of a photograph is the way and how you take the photo. What angle your at? What are you trying to focus on? Where do you want to object to be placed in the picture; centered in the corner? How do you want your viewers to feel when looking at a picture? These are all questions that are asked when taking a photograph creating compotion.

Colors



The first picture is of complementary colors. These colors are nice but  im more of a bright colored person so they don't do a whole lot for me. The second picture shows analogous colors. These are the bright colors I like. The third picture is of monochrome color scheme. Its all the same color just different shades.

Lighting



What I did for this is I shut off my daughters beddroom light and opened her door to allow a little bit of light to come in. The first picture I actually had to room light on to show light coming from above. The second picture I set the bear right infront of the door where the light was coming in so the light would be behind the bear. The last picture I set the bear to the side of the light . It is very interesting to see where the shadows fall in each of these photos.
