Texture and Lighting

Reflection Questions Texture

1.) The best picture of the assignment would be the picture of the tree bark because I like the texture shown and the depth of the image and it's better than the other ones.

2.) I think the weakest picture would be the tree branches because I think I could've done a better angle to prove more depth and I think it needed more focus. Overall I think they all needed better angles.

3.) The weakest photo can be improved by taking more pictures of it at better angles and more focus.

4.) I used Photoshop. The tools I used in Photoshop were levels, vibrance, color balance, and brightness/contrast.

5.) I was able to meet the goal by getting up close and getting the texture of things as well as doing my best and being creative.

6.) The easy part about this assignment was probably editing because now that I know how to do it it's easy.

7.) The hardest part about this assignment would be taking the actual pictures because I had to get up close and get down to try and get good angles.

8.) If I did this assignment over again, I'd try to find more pics of different textures since some of the photos i shown other people did too such as the tree bark. I'd also get better angles.

9.) I would rate this project an 8 because I think I tried harder in this project than the other one Also because now I have a little knowledge I personally think I did better.

Do Now Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams masters in landscapes and texture. he brings out texture keeping focus and taking his time with his photos also by the lighting he uses. I think his work is very neat because its very clear and focused and looks like it has a lot of effort into it.

Reflection Questions Comp

1.) The best shot in this assignment would be the photo of the tower representing rule of thirds because there was more effort in it than any other and because the quality came out to how I wanted it.

2.) The weakest shot would be the park bench representing brightness and sharpness because I feel as though it looks like there isn't a lot of effort compared to the tower. Also, because there is a sort of glare along the words of the bench that ruin the photo in my opinion.

3.) The weakest picture can be improved by retaking the picture and putting more effort into making it apply more to the project.

4.) I used Photoshop on the computer. I used tools such as Levels, color balance, exposure, contrast, and saturation.

5.) I was able to meet the objective/goals of the assignment by putting in the effort and trying my best and overall having fun with it.

6.) The easiest part about the assignment was taking the photos because it was a fun experience to do.

7.) The hardest part about the assignment was editing because it was confusing trying to work on an app I haven't used on a computer before.

8.) If I were to repeat this assignment I'd take different pictures of different things representing the composition.

9.) In this assignment, I'd rate my effort an 6 because I think I could put a little more effort in these photos to make it better and I have little experience.

composition

this represents rule of thirds because the object is not bulls eye and its put off to the side. This photo could also represent "emphasizing height and distance" but i see it as rule of thirds.

this photo represents simplicity because its a simple seagull with a very plain background that's not too busy while it focuses on the bird.

  this photo represents "emphasize foreground" because the horizon is in the upper half of the frame.

this photo represents leading lines because it draws the viewers eyes to follow the line of the road and around the screen.

This photo represents multiple subjects because there is more than 1 thing shown here and the person in the back draws attention to the back making the viewers eyes look around the whole image. 

this photo represents brightness and sharpness because its focused, clear, and has good lighting. 

this photo represents "emphasizing height and distance" because the horizon is on the lower half of the frame making the tower look taller.

this photo represents leading lines because the power lines attract the viewers eyes around the image.

the falling man

i think the photo was included in the "time's magazine 100 best collection" because it was a unique photo of someone actually dying that day during the attack. Also, it was said its a photograph some people could probably relate to in a way and because the photo was a symbol of individuality.

snapshot and artistic photo

What is the difference between a snap shot and artistic photography?

the difference between a snap shot and artistic photography is that a snap shot is just a quick snap photo without the worry of aesthetic while artistic photography focuses on being aesthetic and putting more effort and thought in the details.
