For this first project, the three topics I chose
to photograph were a pinecone, a fire hydrant and a a private property sign.
I chose the pinecone because of the unique shape
and different textures. On all of these photos I played with the colors while trying to bring out the texture.
I chose the fire hydrant because of the bright colors and scenic background. With the first photo I messed with the lighting trying to get the colors to pop. The second photo is more washed out giving it a older feel. The final photo I messed with the saturation and shadows.
I chose the private property sign because the texture of the grass and the color of the text contrasted against the background. For the first photo I played with strong saturation and shadows. The second photo I did in black and white to change the textures. The third photo I tried to bring the viewers eye straight to the sigh. I did this by giving the photo more light in the center.
