Week 10 - Landscape Locations

I think in my project I would like to shoot outside in a rural area such as estacada and I would also like to shoot up and around Multnomah Falls. 

I could however go up to timberline and shoot Mount Hood. I have not finally decided but I am positive about my options.

Week 9 - Intro to Landscapes

ISO: 100
Aperture: f 25
Shutter Speed: 1/80
Date Shot: 10/17/11
Location: Back Parking Lot At PAA
Next time I would definitely take the picture when there was clouds in the sky. Because of the absence of clouds I compensated with the silhouette of the Dandelion.

ISO: 100
Aperture: f 22
Shutter Speed: 1/20
Date Shot: 10/17/11
Location: Back Parking Lot At PAA
I like this shot because of the hint of a building in the background.

ISO: 100
Aperture: f 25
Shutter Speed: 1/15
Date Shot: 10/17/11
Location: Back Parking Lot At PAA
I changed the color of the pavement and the whole picture in Photoshop using a plethora of techniques

Week 8 "Visual Elements Of Fall"

Aperture: f 5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/250
ISO: 200
Back Parking Lot
Date Shot: October 10, 2011
I liked the color before so I choose to shoot this flower. I think that the best element is the color.
I didn't do anything about the picture in Photoshop because I already loved the picture.
Maybe next time I would frame the flower on the left side to include more green foliage which makes a nice contrast with the pink.

Aperture: f 5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/800
ISO: 200
Location: Tree in the Parking Lot
Date Shot: October 10, 2011
I used an adjustment layer to brighten the picture and change the brown of the leaf to more of a dark orange. I also took out a brown spot in the light green leaf above it.
I think the best part of the leaf is the texture of the leaves and the range of greens and browns in the picture.
I think I would frame it differently and maybe shoot it on a sunny day with blue skies instead of the cold cloudy day it was.

Aperture: f 5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/400
ISO: 100
Location: Ledge by the band room.
Date: October 10, 2011
 I used an adjustment layer to bring out the green in the moss and the leaves.
I like the shape of the leaves and the moss in the background.
I would maybe raise the aperture to include more background and moss.

Aperture: f 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/400
ISO: 100
Location: Mrs. Neel's car in the parking lot.
Date: October 10, 2011
I used an adjustment layer to bring out the subtle shadows that we normally wouldn't see.
I thought that this picture was a good example of form in action. I can almost feel that twig in my fingers right now. Also I like the reflection off the windshield of the car.
I would maybe add more reflection.

Aperture: f 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/1000
ISO: 800
Location: Flower Beds Behind School
Date: October 10,2011
I used an adjustment layer.
The color and form of the flower. It makes you feel almost romantically happy as you look at this beautiful flower.
I might find a shot and frame it with a little stem with the flower.

Week 7 Summary

This week we started by talking about the legal issues of photography such as, "Who owns a photo?" And what can you do legally with that photo. We also talked about the Respect Doctrine, how others will feel about this happening to them, and we came to the conclusion that you should always think about your  subject.
We discussed the pictures in the previous post, 5 photos of Fall, and we discussed about we need to think about the lines. So that people that are a little obsessive compulsive are not offended or put off by them.

I adjusted the colors a bit to make the flowers a bit more vibrant.

The best element I think is the big pink flower.

I would maybe do a close up on the flower.

Cropping and a little rotating

The leaves of different colors.

Next time I would shoot the tallest twig a little to the right. (To follow the rule of thirds)

Next time I would shoot the tree in a long shot instead.
