Project 2: Framing and Composition

          For the Framing and Composition project, we were supposed to take pictures of 8 different composition and framing techniques. The eight techniques are : Bug's Eye View, Leading Lines, Birds Eye View, Diagonals, Rule of Thirds, Fill the Frame, Close Up, and Frame Within a Frame. I took around 150 photos in all, and I have narrowed it down to what I think are my eight best. I edited these photos with Adobe Lightroom 3.

Project 1: Best of 30x2

These are my final 4 photos from our first project, my two subjects were myself and my dog. We edited the photos in Adobe Lightroom. 

 For the photo above, I made the contrast higher, and the brightness, temperature, and tint lower. I really like the contrast between the tree and my face. I also like how my eye stands out and how you can only see part of my face.

 For this photo, I shifted the blue, magenta, and purple hues and turned the split toning hue all the way up. I really like the sun spots in the photo and how my hair and face change from white, to pink, to blue.

For this photo I turned the level of dark down and the level of light up. I turned the sharpness up and I turned the yellow hue up and the green hue slightly down. I really like this picture because my dog looks really sassy. It almost looks like he is a model. I also like the clarity of the picture. 

For this picture I turned the orange hue down so the ball would be less prominent in the picture. I also turned the green hue up to make the grass look more vibrant. I really like the natural lighting is this picture. It gives the picture a sort of summery look that I really like.
