Color & Neutral

Color

For this picture I cropped it so that the center of the flower is off to the right. Then I made the edges white and made the highlights a little bit brighter. This is a dominant color picture.

For this one I cropped it so that the flower was off to the right of the picture frame. Then I used clarity to made the flower in front "pop" a little bit more. This is a complementary color picture.

Neutral

This is a tree in my backyard, that the side was cut off. I Cropped it so that the circle was off to the right. I also turn up the yellows a little so it would contrast against the browns.

This was some rust I found on a railing in a park in Walnut Creek. I then cropped it so that the rail was off to left. That was the only changes I made.

Color Grid with Border

I went around my house and a local park and found all of my red colors. The green picture is of a cactus I saw on the side of the road.

Dino Grid

I took these pictures in the classroom, so the lighting was from fluorescent bulbs. I think that the dinosaur looks best on the pink, yellow, and light blue because it makes the colors on the dinosaur stand out. The dark blue, purple, and green make the dinosaur blend in with the background.

Historical Houses

I went to Old Borges Ranch around the afternoon. I turned all of them into black and white and made the contrast higher, and I made the corners a little darker. 

First Day Shoot

We had to take pictures of a brown paper lunch bag. So I wanted to show how garbage collects during school and people never throw away their trash.
