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.

Converging Lines

Today I took one of my shots and used Photoshop to do some image correcting like taking out basic blemishes that I didn't want part of the shot. After that I cropped it and rotated it, using rulers to help line everything up straight. At the end of my editing, I used levels to brighten my picture and here is my final result.
