Portraits 2

This photo is of my twin sister and was taken in the late afternoon when it was mostly cloudy so the light isn't harsh. I like how the light hits her face and makes it really soft. 

This first photo was taken in the late afternoon allowing the warmth of the sun to highlight her hair. It also created split lighting on her face. 

This second photo took the background of the original and then increased the size to make it a border around the first image.

Rembrandt Lighting

Rembrandt Lighting-reflected light onto the right side of his face in order to achieve the triangle under his eye.

Split Lighting-used a white board to reflect the sun on the left side of her face to not create such a dark shadow.

Orange Photo Series

For my series I chose to use the color orange in a variety of different ways. Orange generally gives a vibrant, energetic, warm vibe. I chose to emulate these emotions by creating orange hues in each one of the five photos to give emotions not generally found through photos taken in the winter. I chose the first photo to show the orange tones of the circular clay pipes as well as creating warmth in the twigs surrounding it. While the second photo focuses on the blueness in the seeds, the overall tone is warm due to a filter and the branches being orange. The third photo uses the rust to show the orange, it contrasts the white snow found in the background. The fourth photo was taken in the late afternoon, capturing the essence of the evening sun giving an orange glow to the trees and the water. The final photo is of broken orange clay. I like this photo because it contrasts the warmness of the orange tone and the concept of broken pieces creating two different meanings. 

Selective Focus

This photo focuses on the rocks on the concrete but also the viewer to have the depth of field by looking at the damn and the fence in the background. 

This photo focuses on the ice in the front giving it a lot of texture while allowing the road and the trees in the background to be faded and less focused. 

Texture and Lines

This photo was taken of a damn, showing the texture of the water and the lines in the stream of the water. It also has the texture of the tree branches and the wall. It was taken late afternoon giving the warmer tones. 

This photo shows the texture of the thin ice as well as the vines behind it. It was warm from afternoon light and the whole composition uses textures.

Landscape!

This photo was taken on the river under a bridge. I like how trees in the arch way are reflected by the water but also continue back showing depth. It was manual white balance and ISO of 400.

This landscape was taken right before sunset giving the warm tones. It is of a river and the weeds the line the banks of the river. I like how not only can you see the progression of the river but also the horizon line. 

Annoying!

This photo symbolizes how sometimes I get annoyed when people mix me and my twin sister up and call us the wrong names. We wore the same shirt to show that even if we are dressed similarly we ARE different,  For this photo the I manually set the white balance and the ISO was 400. 

This picture represents that wasting paper is annoying, unwrapping tiny pieces of candy is annoying, and especially the sound of people unwrapping things in class is really annoying. I took this photo on the macro setting to enhance the front starburst while the others faded as they went back.
