Out of all of the pictures I took for the projects over the summer these would have to be the best. They show my growing skills in both Photoshop and just taking pictures in general. The first and second pictures are both for the action shot project. Though the water balloon picture was nice in color, there were a lot of people that were kind of irrelevant to the actual shot, which was Amber throwing the water balloon and hitting Shelby. To correct this without cropping everything out, I made everything black and white which gave a more blank background since everything was in a grey scale. Then put the focus people back in color.
The third picture is my favorite of all the pictures I've taken this summer. I'm basically standing in a puddle of water after a rainstorm and I held my hand out to get a secondary subject reflected in the water. Though my feet are stationary in the water one is pointing directly up toward the reflection and the left one is angled toward it. I chose to make the colors darker because of the shape of the hand which I wanted to be really dark to compliment the twisted grabbing shape of the hand. The darkness and shape of the hand contrasts the lightness and shape of the feet. I just really love this picture.
The last picture was really fun to do. We basically had to take an image of our dream vacation and put ourselves into the picture. I've always wanted to go to Ireland so deciding was easy. The hard part was trying to find a place where I could get both the shadow on my face and light on my legs to make it look like I was actually sitting under the rock. I sat under my bed in my dorm and my roommate took the picture for me. After resizing the picture so I was proportional I added shadow under my shoes and body to make the picture look a bit more realistic.
