1.My favorite image is the one of the flower. I like how the background is out of focus. The browns of the flower also stands out.
2. The shoelace shows good use of lines.
3. Background, foreground, balance, and texture are used in my favorite image.
4. My favorite filter use might be the shoelace with the plastic wrap filter because it makes the laces look wet so it is still a realistic/believable image.

Exploring Landscapes 2

1)I used the rule of thirds in this image. I emphasized more land than sky.

2) My main principle of design was the use of lines. The buildings and baseball field form two lines that draw the eye to the PE students and hills.

3) This photo was taken around 2:00PM. This time gave some intense shadows in the foreground and the background is lit up, which I think made the picture interesting.

4) In this photo the PE students in the foreground compliment the hills in the background.

 ^Edge Burn Technique^

^Channel Mixer^

^Color Lab^

^Desaturation^

^Gradient Map^

1) I think the Gradient Map method gave the best result. It had a larger value range.

2)The Color Lab and Desaturation methods had a smaller value range than the other two methods. I preferred the Gradient Map and Channel Mixer methods.

Landscape Details

1. The lenses were pretty fun and cool to use. The macro lens was a little hard to get into focus but it seemed to work good enough.
2. My favorite shot was the one of the bush. I liked how the leaf was used as a line to lead the eyes.
3. The top photo of the lock shows the rule of thirds the best.
