Animals

This is a picture of two dogs at a soccer game. I was walking and thought this was a good composition for a photo. I like the high contrast between the dogs and the grass. This explores many values of the black and white color scale, one dog is very black, one is white, and the grass is very gray. In iPhoto I added a bit of contrast and some sharpness to the image.

Records

This is a photo of records I found at my house. I set this still-life up and chose to photograph it because I really liked the composition and use of diagonal lines. I used iPhoto to make it black and white, but I found color added an interesting effect to the picture and I like it better. I also added some contrast so the designs on the covers of the records would stand out.

Step By Step

This is a picture of Berkinstocks placed in a door entry. I chose to take a still-life photograph rather than in motion for this perticular assignment. I like how the water on the ground creates a reflection of the shoes and brick wall. In iPhoto I added some contrast so the Berkinstocks would have some shadows, and adjusted the saturation so the colors would be bolder. The idea of this photo is to show "feet" entering outdoors.
