Metamorphosis

Photo 1:


















Photo 2:




I took these pictures of the creek while standing on the bridge between UNI and NU.  I choose it for metamorphosis because I thought is was a really good example of how the earth changes as the seasons pass.

Architecture

I took this picture of my grandmother's church in Epworth, Iowa, where my parents were born and raised.  I choose it for architecture because I think it is a really beautiful building and it has the standard look of a church, and the way it is built. 

Food

I choose this photo for food because not only is it food, it is also something that was a big part of my childhood.  We had PB&J sandwiches all the time because they were easy to make when my parents were too busy to make a big dinner.

Leading Lines

I choose this photo for leading lines because when you look at it, the tree trunk leads your eyes up to the green leaves at the top of the tree. 

Angles

These are three photos that I took of Lizzy from different angles.  I choose them because I thought that these views were the most interesting.

Silhouette

I choose this photo for silhouette because I think it looks very interesting and not only is my hand a silhouette, the house and trees are as well.

Digital Dodge and Burn

For this picture, I burned the windows and dodged Mr. Spurr's skin to lighten and darken the different sections.

Miscellaneous Filters



For these two images, I used the lighting effects filter to add a spotlight to well. 


































For these two images, I used the dry brush and then the cutout filter to give it an arty feel. 





























For these images, I used the Smudge stick filter to make it more interesting.

Rule of Thirds


I choose these pictures for rule of thirds because I thought that the positions they are in make them more interesting then if they were just centered in the middle.  I cropped them to demonstrate this. 

Framing




This is a picture I took of Rachel at the playground at our school.  I choose it for framing because I noticed that the red bars were boxing her in perfectly. 

Sunset

I choose this picture for sunset because when I looked out the window and saw it, I thought it looked beautiful and would be perfect for the objective.  It was taken in my backyard and I think the trees add a lovely effect to the picture.
