Project 3- Color Slideshow

Rule of thirds: This was my best edited rule of thirds photo because it draws to focus to the lock, the feet, and the tree in a grid perspective. I also liked how the diagonal lines portrayed a part of this grid. 

Leading Lines: This is a photo of a building, and the horizontal lines of the windows show leading lines. I made the photo black and white so the lines are the focus, and it makes it more unique and interesting

Frame within a frame: The light from the window contrasts against the darker end of the garage, making it the focal point, being the inner frame. The outer frame was the garage itself. 

Filling the frame: The end of the pipe mostly fills the photo, and the lines of the brick draw your attention to this. I edited it so the red was more saturated against the red of the brick.

Diagonals: The bars on the chair are the diagonal lines. It was edited to have more yellow hues, which I thought made it look older and more vintage.

Close up: The close up was of a lock at the bottom of a lamp post. The photo was edited to make the lock be more detailed and grainy, and the photo had a more blue color. This photo being a close up captured the detail of the lock, chain, and rust of lamp post.

Bug's eye view: This photo was shot looking up at the building. It was shot close to the wall, but not quite completely at the ground. The main thing that I liked about this photo was how the edits turned out. I was able to show the contrasting color and the details of the window and sky.

Bird's eye view: This was shot on the bridge above the freeway, looking down through a fence type thing. I thought the perspective was interesting and the edits made it look sunny and happier. The edits are my favorite part of this photo and were the most fun to do.

Photographers use contact sheets to organize their photos from one project so they can all be seen and compared. This contact sheet was made in lightroom, where we selected 3 photos for each compositional technique and edited one of those three. From there we composed all 36 of these photos into a contact sheet (edited and original photos included). This project what techniques were harder and easier to shoot, and which ones were my best work. This helped me realize my aesthetic when taking photos.
