Project 2 - Prework

This color wheel shows primary (P), secondary (S), and tertiary (T) colors.

This picture gives off the feeling that there is nothing nearby and gives off a lonely and deserted vibe. When the author edited the photo, I think he probably reduced the color difference so that there was contrast and that all the colors were blue, orange, or black. This picture gives off a feeling of isolation and abandonment. It also gives off the feeling of companionship because the horse and the man almost look connected, like they are one.

This picture shows a lot of contrast from the field to the sky and the field is portrayed as a brighter place while the sky is portrayed as dark and brooding. When the other was editing this photo, I think they probably increased the brightness of the yellow and may have made the clouds darker so that they were more prominent.

Project 1 - Framing and Composition

The goal of this project was to work on framing and discovering different types of compositions. There are 8 types of compositions that I took pictures of



Filling the frame - This is a tree trunk filling the frame with some of the more subtle colors saturated. 

This is a frame within a frame of the city through a frame shaped part of the fence. After that, I boosted the reds and the blues and got the other colors to fade to darker colors.

The picture of rule of thirds is a sports bench on pavement next to grass, and was hard to take so that it was rule of thirds. Then, there was a fair amount of clutter that I cleared up.

This picture is from bugs eye view of a foal. It really captured the background and the horses expression and bugs are often flying around a horses head so it is a good example of a bugs eye view.

This is an example of leading lines because the lines lead you to a certain point. This picture is interesting because the fence reflects onto the water and I changed the colors so the sky was more of a violet color.

This is another picture of a different fence without water and shows diagonal lines and has an interesting and different background.

This is an example of a close up. This shows all of the details of a horses muzzle including the hairs and the slight beard. I didn't edit this picture much, all I really did was boost some of the colors so it could maintain the natural feeling without feeling super edited.

This is an example of birds eye view. It is taken from the part of a tree where a bird often stands. The tree is out of focus while the background is focused with extremely saturated colors.
