Background Change & Blemish Removal

I didn't like how tedious and careful you had to be while erasing delicate/thin parts of the image, but I like how you can put your picture somewhere you've never been.

This technique is very helpful, because if you have a cut or a scratch on your face when booking a photo shoot that isn't normally there, the photographer can simply remove it.

Architecture

My image could be used as an example of windows or the ledge. It could also just be used as a picture to put up for decoration.

Double Exposure

I first exposed the stone path onto the paper, a little lighter than I would have if it wasn't going to be a double exposure. Then, I exposed the picture of Andrea how I would if it was a regular print, to try to get her dark hair. The focal point is definitely her face, because people don't have stone faces. I'm very proud of this image, because the stone is so clear in her face.

POV & Pets

I thought this angle was interest because instead of focusing on the whole carousel, I focused on the details of the decorated top. I stood as high as I could to try to get this face-on to capture all the detail.

Capturing this photo was difficult, because I had to make sure my shutter was high enough to capture my cat's tongue without making it blurry. I like this photo because my cat is constantly licking her toys "to death" so this picture really tells about her.

Close up & Reflection

It was a little hard to get as close as I wanted without a macro lens, but I managed it. My background is blurry and contrasts with the flower. I love close up images because of the detail that is seen in them.

I looked down on my trophy from slightly above, so the reflection is in focus, but the actual trophy is not.

We had some Christmas lights, and since the assignment was for light, I just held it up in front of my camera and made sure it was focused

I used natural lighting for this picture. My mom stood on the driveway and I stood on the trunk of her car, and I looked down at her with my camera in order to get this image.

Lighting

I chose this picture because the lighting makes certain parts of the elephant very distinct, and other parts, not so much. I like it because one part of the photo is very bright compared to the rest, and it guides your eyes to the figure.
