Landscape in a Bottle

HDR Photography

HDR photography is the process of taking a photo at different shutter speeds to capture different shadows and colors of the same scene. Photos are then combined together to create a scene to show all these different features together.

One way to get a good HDR photo is to take multiple photos of the same scene. Each photo will show different parts of the same scene.

The second way to get a good HDR photo is to change the aperture each time you take a photo and that shows more shadows and focuses on different part of the picture.

The photo that impressed me the most is the photo of the escalator because it shows all the different vibrant colors of the globe. It shows the shadows and the colors all together. 

Abstract Images

 Normal Photos

Filtered Photo

1. My favorite shot is the photo of the tree bark.

2. The tree bark shows the most amount of elements of art. 

3. Texture and unity if used on the tree bark photo.

4. The best shot with the filter is the tree bark with the canvas filter. 

Exploring Landscapes

Favorite picture

1. Yes rule of thirds is used in the picture. The photo is emphasized with the sky.

2. Used variety and proportions in the photo.

3. The photo was shot at 11:30 Am. This was an okay time to shoot because the sun was not too harsh but it made it slightly difficult to avoid shadows.

4. The foreground is not emphasized as much as the background that is surrounding the school.

Lab Color Method

1. The method that produced the best results was the Channel mixer because it gave a better dark color to the picture. 

2. Channel Mixer gave the most range for the image. The channel mixer worked the best even though it was probably the most difficult.

Macro Lens

1. The macro lens was easy to use but it was slightly difficult to get a good photo with the sun behind my back and causing shade over the subject.

2. My favorite shot is the shot of the flower because it focuses on the petals and leads up to the center of the flower. The surrounding areas start to fade and become less focused.

3. The flower shot shows the best rule of thirds because the center of the flower is focused while it also is not fully focused on the center. The photo is split and makes the viewer's eyes look to the sides also. 

4. There is emphasis and balance to the photo so that not everything is focused on the middle of the flower but emphasizes the presence of the center in the photo.
