Photography I Desie DeWitt

Rule of Thirds

In this photo, I chose the Rule of Thirds to improve this picture. In this photo, the first vantage point the eye sees is the beautiful flower, with the yellow on top. I cropped this picture where the flower is three fourths of the way up and two fourths of the way over. The second vantage point that you see is the moth standing out on the yellow part of this flower. The moth is right in the middle of the canvas.When I edited this picture I used the smudge tool a lot on the flower pedals. I also used the gradient tool to darken all the sides to make the flower pop out more. After all this, I exported my picture back into my drive and made sure it was ready to be submitted.

Macro

In this picture, I decided to use a macro to improve the vantage point of this flower. The first focal point you see is the pretty pink flower, with yellow in the middle. When you look you can see that the flowers are about to die for fall. I cropped this picture really close to the flower, so you can see all the details in this photo. When editing this photo, the main tool I used was the levels. What level does is either bring out the darkness in your photo or the high lights. I also used the dodge and burn tool to bring out the dark pink color on the pedals of this flower. Finally I had a classmate check and see what they liked and disliked about it so I could fix and improve the photo.

Leading Lines

In this photo, I choose to use leading lines to capture this moment. I had Skyler sit on a gate, so I could get this cool picture of her. The vantage point goes up from the gate and you see her shoes and the sun peaking through. The first focal point you see here is the sun in between the two bars. The tools I used for this picture was, the smudge tool which helps get rid of some of the rust on the bars. Another important tool I used for this photo was the curves in the colors categorie to capture all the different colors. I choose leading lines in this photo because the bars are leading to her feet and the glimpse of the sun.

Portraits

I chose portraits for this photo because Aspen looks great in this picture. The focal point of this picture is aspens blue eyes leading to her face. I think the portrait looks great in this picture. Some of the tools that I used for this project are dodge and burn, levels, and some highlights to make this picture lighter. The reason I used highlights was to make her face brighter and not to look so dark. At last I had Skyler look and see what she liked and disliked about this photo so I know what to fix.

Monochrome

When I am using monochrome, I made sure to put the landscape on my camera before I took this picture. The picture I took was right in front of my house with a pretty sky. I thought this would be a good photo to use for monochrome because the clouds were all over the sky. The tools I used for this picture were foreground select, levels, and saturation. This was so the black and white colors would stand out. At last I made a classmate look at my photo and the first vantage point you see is the road. Then you see the pond and the clouds and it just goes in a spiral from there.
