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.
