Project 1 (30x2)

Subject 1: My Garden In the Light

This is a plant that sits to the side of my driveway, and I selected it because of its simplicity, and beautiful nature between the mixture of light and the saturation. In terms of editing, I lowered the brightness, and increased the saturation giving it a dark yet rich appeal.

This is the same plant from above, but with this one here I wanted to change the mood that the photo gave to the viewer. Hence, I made the image black and white, and added a nice red filter to get rid of the darker color from the plant. But I wanted to keep its liveliness, so I increased the brightness to get the sun to really stand out. I chose this photo because it does a nice job integrating a dark gloomy mood, with an energetic and content feel. 

   This is the car that sits in my backyard/garden, and I chose it because I love the sun flares that I managed to capture with my camera. And also the reflections of the glistening silver metal of the car. In terms of edits, I increased the saturation, rotated and cropped the photo, increased the contrast and lowered the brightness. I really like the uplifting mood of the photo, and how the contrast darkened the areas that were not a part of the main subject.

Subject 2: Pioneer Square

This was taken while siting down in Pioneer Square, and I chose it because I really like long exposure photos, even though it's not really one. I edited it increasing the brightness and saturation, to get a similar effect. I also cropped the entire left side, and rotated it to give it a modern style of  photography.

Right behind from the one above I found this really cool fountain. I've always loved taking photos of water, and this was no exception. The flow of the water, and the length of the exposure give it a nice flowing feel. If I had my actual camera I could have done some really cool things with the water. Yet editing wise, I made the image black and white, and decreased the brightness and saturation, to give it a dark and depressing tone. 

  I took this photo at the max stop on pioneer square, and I just really like how the bright colors pop out a lot, and the darker colors recede. Also, intentionally having the subject in the center gives the viewer the a good feel of depth, and perception. In terms of editing I increased the contrast and saturation, and lowered the brightness. I really having the bright colors pop out, and have the darker colors recede, it just adds the the life of the photo,
