Final Weekly Assignment

Theme # 1: Pen and Paper:

I decided to use this picture for the "pen and paper" theme because I thought it was an epic angle of a very sacred journal. The darkness of the right side and the brightness of the lift side collide to give it the bipolar feel that all teenagers have. We are happy, we are sad and either way we have to document it! (Most people just do that on facebook now haha)

Theme # 2: Keeping a Secret:

I decided to use such a dark photo for the keeping a secret shot because most of the secrets that we all have are dark and dangerous. I love the feeling that I get when I see this picture. I feel as if the center and foreground are dark and hidden like a secret but on the inside and in the background it is bright and understanding like the truth behind the secret.

Theme # 3: Teamwork:

This shot represents teamwork perfectly because it shows how two people can rely on each other with something as small as a favor or as big as their lives. I also love the contrast in color. How one is wearing black and one is white.

Hoping you and your familes have a wonderful new year filled with joy and wonderous things! :)

HDR Photography Review

My thoughts on HDR photography are plain and simple. It is wonderful. To me, when I look at an HDr picture, I enter a dream world where everything looks different to me and different is good! It makes me study the picture more than I usually would for a normal shot. I feel as if I am sleeping and dreaming of beautiful things when I look at it. It almost reminds me of an Alice in Wonderland type world.

There are controversies about HDR photography and it is because some people out there think that it looks bad because of the unrealistic look and feel it gives off. Also others think it looks sloppy and burry. I suppose it's all an opinion thing but thats just what I think. I think it doesn't look unrealistic, I just think it gives it a richer feel.
