My theme was outdoors. I went to a couple different places to get this. I first went downtown. I then went around my house and filled the compositions I didn't have. For my first photo, I feel leading lines was the composition used the most predominant. This is because the pole leads to the spiral object. Overall, there are just a lot of lines going into and out of this photo. I shot this photo at a place at UNO. I felt if I shot the whole sculpture, it would be too distractive because a lot was going on. So I chose to shoot a fraction of it, and emphasis certain spots. This along with the sun shining, is why I feel this photo is the most creative out of all.
The second photo, I feel value shows through the best. This is because, the white grass is totally opposite from the dark-green grass. They both balance each other out. Also, the bright blue letters in the background also add a different tone of color which also counterbalance the white and green grass. This is an old building downtown that I thought would be cool to offset the natural colors with bright neon colors.
The third photo is from my backyard. Rule of thirds is a good composition to fit this, but also leading lines. The rule of thirds is shown with the pink flowers offset in the background. I could've made them in the center, however, I didn't feel like the photo would be very interesting. I can somewhat also see leading lines because of the lines in the fence. The reason I like this photo isn't only because of the angle, but also the blur is where I like it.
Next, the fourth photo, is probably my least favorite. However, I think it fits texture well. You can tell the sidewalk is rough and rocky. I also like the light in this photo. The sun was beginning to set and allowed for this photo to have great lighting.
This next photo is also around my house. I used a similar concept as the other grass photo but I edited this differently. I wanted to decrease the saturation so you can't really pick out the colors but the color tones, and how one is way darker than the other. That's why this photo also shows value well.
The sixth photo is also in a different angle. I feel this shows texture well also. The rough bark, I feel offsets the cool, blue sky in the background. The one piece of bark that stuck out, and made it to be the focal point of this photo.
The seventh photo, which I took downtown, instantly reminded me of repetition with variety. As I walked around the corner, I saw red, and blue chairs and then a bright yellow one that stood out. It also recently rained, so the water on the chairs create a cool glare to the photo. While editing, I also wanted to dim down the saturation, so you can't necessarily see the colors well but the color tones.
Finally, my last photo shows texture well. I liked the discolored wood that was worn compared to the bright green paint still present on some of the bench. I also like the angle of it, and how 2 boards are the focal point while others are in the background.
