Back Light

Back Light

Artist reflection:

I think the second picture was the best shot of the assignment because it catches more of the light. The first picture is weaker because it doesn't capture the light. The first photo can be improved if i got more of the back lighting into the picture. I used the photoshop app. I messed around with brightness, levels, contrast, ect. I met my goals for this assignment by using the set up in the classroom. What was easy about this assignment was that the set was already made for me. What was hard about this assignment was trying to get the light and the objects in the picture together. I think i would fix the lighting on the first picture if i could redo this project. i'd give myself a 9 out of 10 because i did a good amount of work and got some good shots out of this project. 

Texture

This is my texture project. Below are 3 pictures that show the texture and lighting of an object, meaning that you can almost feel the object itself though the picture.

1. The evergreen trees. This picture you can clearly see the prickly leaves of the trees, almost to the point of being able to feel them.

2. The tree. This pictures texture stands out. You can see the bumps and almost feel them on the tree.

3. The ribbon. This picture shows how soft the ribbon is and you can almost feel it.

I think my best picture was of the tree because it really shows the most texture and it looks as if your feeling it.  My evergreen tree picture was my weakest shot because even though it showed texture, the lighting of the picture was not that great. My weakest shot can be improved by taking it at a better time during the day when there is more light. I used the app Snapseed to edit these pictures. I messed around with the lighting, exposure, curves, and tuning. I was able to meet the objectives by finding everyday objects and getting good angles of them that show the texture of the objects. What was easy about this assignment was that I didn't have to search for something everywhere just to get a picture. I was able to take picture of things we see everyday. What was difficult about this assignment was finding perfect lighting that would help the texture come out. If i could do anything differently i would probably find better lighting angles. i give myself an 8 out of 10 in effort because i did try hard on this project.

ANSEL ADAMS

Ansel Adams masters in landscape pictures. I think he gets his texture from the kind of camera he uses and the lighting he takes. I like the way you can really tell what hes taking a picture of and how you can see all the details of his pictures. His pictures are well taken. i feel this way because they're well taken pictures with plenty of detail that will keep you wanting to look at the picture.
