Natural Landscape Slideshow



I really like the way this slideshow came out together. I think all the pictures work very well together because they are all of the same kind of scenery. The music I chose is actually a song that I made myself called Croatoan.

Extra Credit

  With this photo I tried experimenting using the rule of thirds. I aimed the camera so the staircase was off to the left, but curved more into view is it got higher. I think this made the photo look much more interesting because it gives you a good view of both the stairs as well as the nature surroundings. I changed the hues in lightroom to make the green grass a much bluer shade, which i think looks very interesting and gives the photo a colder look.




With this picture I tried experimenting with the depth of field by focusing in on the close swing. I angled it so you can see all the other swings in the background, al out of focus, which gives it an interesting look. I raised the vibrancy in lightroom to make the colors of the swings and the bars pop out more, as well as the green grass behind it.

Commercial Portrait

I decided to try to recreate the time magazine cover, only i made it humorous by making the cover story subject ridiculous. I think it turned out pretty well and looks fairly realistic.


Artistic Portrait

I chose this photo of my friend Isaac because the expression on his face is very... interesting, to say the least. Either way, it looks like it has a certain level of artistic quality to it from his facial expression as well as the shooting technique i used, rule of thirds.
