5 Compositions and Golden Ratio

 This is a photo of a fountain I found on spring break in Maryland using the golden ratio.
 Here is another fountain just across the street. This photo is composed as a rule of thirds.

 This is another photo from my trip to Wyoming over Thanksgiving. This is composed using framing.

 Here is my sister's apartment building in Maryland. This is composed using symmetry.
This is a nice little waterfall fountain I found in my sister's place. It is composed as having a clean background.
This is the view overlooking some of the landscape of West Virginia off of route 33. This is composed using depth.

Low Key, High Key

 The low key photo here was taken in the Kissel Stop cafe here in town in Elkins. The lighting was very low and made a great low key photo. I did darken the photo slightly with the Lightroom app.
The high key photo is of Liberal Arts Hall. Again I had to use the Lightroom app slightly to, in this case, brighten the photo to make it more of a high key photo.

Peer Reflection

Lindsay:
Had some really nice shadow editing and some beautiful choices of subjects.

Jenna:
Great focus on the statue by the library that goes unnoticed most of the time.

Zayd:
Great lighting of the landscape photos and some great action shots of our conference swim meet.

Asa:
Pretty nice photos of the Atlanta skyline. Could have edited them a little more to bring out the buildings, too much light.

Matt:
Really beautiful photo of the different colors in a sunset. Did a great job bringing out detail and vibrancy of colors. Nice use of temperature. Some interesting people at Kmart.

Trey:
Photos of subtract assignment are really dark, hard to see what is going on. Slow shutter speed photo looks really nice, great capture of the street lights.

Courtney:
Photos are a little dark, can't tell what it is of until they are zoomed in. Nice editing in the lightroom app, really made some parts of the school look great.

Subtract, Subtract, Subtract


 Saw some teammates playing pool so I thought I'd try the subtract method on their game. Each photo I go closer and closer to the real focus of the game, the cue ball.

Lightroom App

 All three photos were edited using the Lightroom app on the iPhone 6. This first photo is a macro photo of a glass pebble. I used the crop feature along with the clarity feature of the app to enhance the image.









This image is a landscape photo from a trip I took to Wyoming with a few friends over Thanksgiving. In this photo I allowed the app to automatically fix the brightness, highlights and shadows for me but I then added a slightly blue tint to give it that cozy winter feel.
This last photo is from that same trip but this one is more of a rule of thirds photo. Again I allowed the app to automatically edit the brightness, highlights and shadows, but for this photo I softened the temperature of the photo instead of adding a tint to give it the same feel. I also used the clarity option to make the water in the foreground look clearer.

Inspiring Social Change

This photo is of some of the protestors of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest. The photo is especially inspiring because it shows how the protestors are symbolically lower than the cops as well as the protestors are in bad shape. The photo is trying to move people to fight against the pipeline cutting through Native American lands.
