Architecture

My intent when taking the picture was to capture the full slide so the picture would have good movement in it. I was trying to focus on the slide. I think the photo is successful, even though most people dont think of a slide as architecture.

Double Exposure

I created this image by first exposing the picture to the background, which is the driveway and the trees, and I exposed the picture a second time with the picture od the dog before putting it into the developer. The focal point of the picture is the dog. I like the look of the double exposure but I wish that it wasn't so dark and you could see the dog better. I think if I played around with it more then I would really like the look of the double exposure much better.

Close Up

No I didn't have too much trouble getting a close up image, I had to take a couple before I got the hang of it but after that I thought it was easy. My background is blurry but you can still make out the objects behind it. I like how you can see details on a picture very clearly in close up pictures.

Blemish Removal

Before

After

Yes I think this is a helpful technique to know incase you are photographing a person up close and they don't like their freckles or they have a bad breakout and that way you can easily edit the blemishes out

Background Change

I liked how the quick select tool made the erasing go much faster and easier, but I didn't like how sometimes if objects around the person were really dark it would keep trying to cut it out so it made it very difficult.

Point of View and Pets

For the point of view, I got down on the ground and shot an ants eye view of this object in the mulch in the garden. What makes this unique is that this is not the way you would see the lady bug if you were just standing, instead you would see almost a bird's eye view.

It wasn't hard to get a picture of this one of my dog's because she is still a very curious puppy, and she kept giving me this look, but sometimes she would jump at the camera after sitting there for a long time. When she was playing, it was hard to get a picture because she moves so fast and the pictures of those were blurry.

35mm Lighting and People

The light source came from the sun, and to make good composition I had my friend sit on one side of the picture and have her body be pointed into the other side to balance the picture.
