This photo is one that I took while walking near the Farmer's Market. I saw the way that the sun shone off the head of the horse when I looked at it from a certain angle, and decided that the way the light from the sun creates a line could be a very interesting way to illustrate the Rule of Thirds concept. In this photo, I tried to accentuate the contrast between the lights and darks, as well as cropping it so that it conformed to the Rule of Thirds.
This is a photo that I took in the courtyard of the Portland Art museum. I decided that the way that the head of the horse reflected onto the glass table was interesting, as the texture of the horse statue is very unique, and lends to no misunderstanding as to the identity of the reflection. When editing this photo, I used the "brush" tool to increase the vibrance and saturation of the actual reflection, while slightly decreasing that of the statue. This creates a difficult to notice surrealism to the picture, as well as making the actual table the focal point of the image.
This is a photo of a "Chinese Lantern" that I found in my yard. When taking the photo itself, I set up the object dangling in front of a mirror with a flash on my camera in order to make the lantern look like it's glowing, but also so there is a subtle reflection of the object, as seen in the above image. When editing, I used the "Color Saturation Tool" to modify and increase the Saturation/Luminance of Reds and Oranges in this photo, as well as using the brush tool to make the backdrop completely black, in order to further increase the contrast and "glowing" feeling of the subject.
In this photo, I used two techniques: Bird's Eye View and Rule of Thirds. When I took this photo, I had in mind the idea of the concrete "walling in" the vegetation, and I kept this idea throughout the editing. For this reason, I used the brush+feather tool in order to make the concrete walls completely unsaturated, and to let that lack of saturation "bleed" into the plants and foliage. After that, I used a combination of the selective color tool and the brush tool to increase the saturation on the "inner" plants, which shows an ardent contrast as opposed to the "outer" plants.
When taking this photo, I decided that I wanted the image to look like it was seen by a "bug" going up the tree trunk. When editing in, I used increases saturation on Greens and lowered saturation on Oranges in order to create a lot of contrast between the moss and the tree trunk.
This is a photo that I took near the Farmer's Market it demonstrates leading lines. The combination of the diagonal roof of the church and the lamp post focuses the attention of the viewer to the small golden shape on top of the building. To create this, I lined up the lamp post when taking the picture, then used specific line-based effects to draw the attention to the center, notably the two parallel trees on each side with higher saturation.
This photo, which I took in the Pearl District, demonstrates the framing technique of "Diagonals". The way that I emphasized this technique is that rather than making the two diagonals symmetrical or parallel, I decided to make them different angles altogether. I emphasized this by using several editing techniques to brighten some colors, as well as modify the hues of different ones. I also made the two sides opposite brightness-es (i.e. light and dark) to emphasize their differences.
This is a photo that I took at one of the stalls at the Farmer's market. I chose to photograph this object because I felt that it was very bright in contrast with the dull cement around it, and that therefore it should be able to "shine on its own" and not have the cement darken the image. For that reason, I used the technique of "filling the frame" for this image, to show the brightness of the winter squash. When editing this photo, I used a combination of Saturation adjusters, Hue adjusters and the brush tool to bring more focus and vibrance to the center of the image, while keeping the frame clearly full of a single entity.
