Landscape

Part 1:


- Did you use the rule of thirds? What did you emphasize, land or sky?

- Yes, I tried to emphasize the sky.

- What principles of design did you use and how?

- Emphasis: Emphasized the clouds.
  Repetition: The parked cars repeat
  Variety: The cars, truck, houses, poles, and fence create variety.

- What time of day was your image taken? Was it a good time to shoot or not?

- This image was taken at 9:30 AM. It was a good time to shoot because of the pretty sky.

- How did you use the foreground - background relationship?

- The cars in the foreground work nicely with the houses and sky in the background.


- Did you use the rule of thirds? What did you emphasize, land or sky?

- Yes, I tried to emphasize the land.

- What principles of design did you use and how?

- Emphasis: I emphasized the tree.
  Balance: The tree is roughly symmetrical.
  
- What time of day was your image taken? Was it a good time to shoot or not?

- The image was taken at 9:30 AM. It was a good time to shoot because of the even lighting in this particular location.

- How did you use the foreground - background relationship?

- The tree and the boys in the foreground are the emphasis while the sky makes the background look nice.



- Did you use the rule of thirds? What did you emphasize, land or sky?

- Yes, I tried to emphasize the sky.

- What principles of design did you use and how?

- Emphasis: Emphasized the clouds.
  Repetition: The parked cars and solar panels repeat.
  Rhythm: The repetition of the solar panels is quite rhythmic. 

- What time of day was your image taken? Was it a good time to shoot or not?

- This was shot at about 9:40 AM. The lighting was not great because it was hard to expose both the sky and land well. I had to merge the photos with an HDR preset to make it work.

- How did you use the foreground - background relationship?

- The rhythmic cars and panels catch the light of the sun and lead the eyes toward the sky in the background.

Part 3:

  Channel Mixer:

Gradient Map:
 
Lab Color:

Desaturate:


- Which method do you think produced the best results for you?

- I think the gradient map produces the best results.

- Did you achieve a large value range for each image?

- Yes.

Part 4:


Adjustment layer: A layer that allows us to non-destructively edit the hue, saturation, white balance, and many other aspects of the image.

1. What do you like about your image? - I like how cleanly I managed to select the shoe from the background. I also like the use of black and white, although the product doesn't actually look like that. 2. What would you have done differently to change the outcome of the image? - I would have loved to use a tripod. I was shooting in pitch-darkness, save for a desk lamp, so there was a limit to how far I could bend while hand-holding the shot. A tripod would have allowed for a lower ISO, too. I would have also liked to experiment with more extreme light angles for even more of a contrasty, low-key image. 3. What photoshop techniques did you use? - I used Select and Mask to feather my selection, camera raw filter to get the contrast right (and also to convert from the RAW file), the B/W adjustment layer, and Bevel & Emboss for the Nike logo. Here's the same picture without the B/W adjustment layer, just in case I get called out for false advertising :) ...

Shorebreak

What did Clark do before photography? A: He was working at a botanical garden. He loved surfing at the shore break, and got interested in photography. What do you like about his work? A: His patience and hard work towards his shots is extraordinary. His pictures seem to capture the moment perfectly, and his subjects are always in interesting positions. What do you not like about his work? A: I feel like it's extremely risky because of the weight of the water and the kinds of positions he gets in are dangerous. Handling relatively high-power electronic equipment like flashes under water can b extremely risky. What brand of camera does he use and how does he take it into the water? A: He uses Nikon cameras. He takes them in the water by putting them in a special waterproof case. Is this a career that you would consider, why/why not? A: I would love to try such an activity, but I don't think I could make it a career. I have a strong passion for ph...

Action Photography

Website:  https://www.michaelclarkphoto.com/OVERVIEW/thumbs 1.  What type of action do they shoot? A: He shoots mostly adventure sports like skydiving, mountain biking, kayaking and rock climbing. 2. What type of equipment do they use? A: His main camera is a Fuji GFX 100 mirrorless camera(100 MP?!?!?). He also uses other Nikon and Fujifilm cameras. He uses a lot of bright telephoto lenses and teleconverters. He also has a LOT of tripods and other accessories. 3.Choose one of their shots and tell me why you like their photography, use content specific vocabulary such as (clarity, angle, depth of field, emphasis, balance, color, value, etc.). A: I like this photo:  It has all the standard stuff: great contrast, emphasis, and tack-sharp focus. Moreover, Clark's pictures seem to have impeccable timing. Most of his pictures are taken at what seems like the climax of the scene, and have me wondering what would happen next.
