Project 2-Framing and Composition

For this project, we experimented with eight different framing techniques. We went on two different field trips to downtown Portland and also to Washington park. We shot pictures using, rules of third, bug's eye view, bird's eye view, diagonals, filling the frame, leading lines, close ups, and frame within a frame.

Project One 30 x 2

These are the final five pictures that I have taken and edited. My first subject was a flower outside of my school. My second subject was a water fountain also from school. The cigarette butt was next to the flower that was my first subject.

This is picture of a cigarette butt that was laying next to the flowers. I used the macro setting on my camera to really zoom in on the details of the cigarette. I tried mostly focusing mainly on the brick and the very tip of the butt so the rest would be out of focus. I then made the reds and oranges more saturated so they would pop. Finally I cropped the picture a bit so the cigarette was more to the side of the picture.
In this picture of a few leaves and a white flower, I once again used the macro setting on my camera to really get the details in the leaves. I them added a black and white filter. Then I used a colored brush and colored in the leaves different colors. I made the darks darker as well.

 This is the picture of the original white flower. I used a tungsten filter on this picture then I added a blue hue to it. I made it so that the petals were way darker compared to the very center of the flower. Originally I had a high grain effect on the picture but decided to remove it.
I used macro setting again and sepia filter. I then edited it by making it a little brighter because originally the whiteness was overpowering. I really like this picture because you can see the reflection of the wall in the button.

This photo was taken with a tungsten filter on my camera. Then I turned the water on and took the picture. I made the darks and shadows a little darker. I then added another filter. Then i had to once again change the shadows of the photo. I made it darker because it looks a lot better and because you can see the droplets of water better. I then cropped it.
