Drive home

I took this photo of the street on my way home from Mercy. This photo was taken around 3:30. At this point in my drive home, I was at skyline. I took this picture by keeping my hand steady and trying to capture an interesting moment in my ride home. My reason behind doing this was not only because my assignment was to take pictures on my ride home, but also because I wanted to try to improve taking pictures from a car because it's harder than it looks so it doesnt always turn out nice. This photo displays assymetry because the silver car lies on a third line making it the focus of the image. The vertical lines of the road and trees lead the eye to the car.

Detail photo

I took these photos of lightbulbs that were for sale. I took this picture in the afternoon around 2:00. The photo was taken at a store in downtown SF. For the first image I used the macro setting on my camera in order to place emphasis on it. For the second image I used the regular setting but tilted my camera so that I would get the picture from a different viewpoint. I took this photo because we were assigned to take detailed photos. I wanted to get a detail picture of something unusal and cool at the same time. I went downtown with a few friends and ended up seeing these bulbs. It fit the exact description I was going for, so I took a picture of it! The first image shows emphasis because it is the biggest thing in the photo and is also place in the center. The second image shows line by the way that the poles all went vertically down thus leading the eye to the lightbulb.

Cathedral

I took this picture of a chandelier in the cathedral. This was taken at about 7:30 in the morning. I took this picture to show the details in the cathedral that would normally be overlooked. When we first walked into the cathedral, it was farely dark. Most of the lights were off, except for a few. I really liked how only some of them were one, so I decided to take a picture using one that is on and one that is off. In photoshop, I made the background slighly darker, and the chandelier slightly lighter by using the burn and dodge tools. Assymetry can be seen in the photo because the chandelier lies on a third line making it the focus of the photo. Space can also be seen in this photo because the chandelier is in front, colored, and in focus, making it positive space; while the background is in the back, dark, and blurred.
