This photo I took after two girls walked by in the park. As they walked by they said to me that they would try not to mess up my shot. Little did they know they made this shot. I increased the contrast and detail settings in light room to make the distant figures pop.

I was walking on a path in the park trying not to get my camera wet from the snow. This man walked by the end of the path and I quickly snapped a shot of him walking hurriedly by. I increased the contrast and converted the photo into black and white.

This one I also took in the park. I wanted to get a feel of how long the creek in the park.  I converted the  photo into black and white and increased the clarity. I chose this photo to blog because I like the way the textures in the photo make the composition and add depth to the photo. 

Weekly Write-up 2/11

This image is successful for a number of reasons. In particular the angle chosen by the photographer creates a grand feeling of space for the viewer. The light source from the right allows for great detail to be seen on the trunk and in the branches of the trees. Creating a dramatic setting when combined with the light from the moon. It seems like this photo was taken with a longer exposure during sunset, allowing light from the right and the misty appearance of the moon as well as the clouds in the distance.

Writing Assignment-2

I chose this photo for two main reasons: I love fencing, and I love the movement and direction within the piece. This week I attempted to take some fencing photos myself, it presents many challenges. Part of what makes this photo work is the contrast between the white uniforms and the black background. The movement in fencing is so quick, the choice of overlaying exposures shows the viewer all the movement that can happen withing a split second of movement.
