Homework for 10-26-11

I orginally took 164 pictures, I narrowed those down to 22 and with a lot of contemplating I choose, what I think, are the best five images to represent fall. Here they are . . .

Pictures to represent fall: 

While I was shooting I came across this extremely colorful tree that you see above. 

I edited the photo by making a curve in the red and green, as well

as changing the contrast, sharpening, exposure and others. I like the

photo because I feel like the colors really represent fall and I like the

contrast between the tree and sky. 

In my neighborhood we have a really nice bike path where I took this 

photo. I like the light shining across the path, as well as the leaves and shadows.

I edited the contrast, exposure, levels and curves. I like how the path disappears 

in the distance and I think its funny and unique how the yellow lines are wavy.   

 I big part of the fall is well the leafs falling, I tried to show that in

this photo. I edited the contrast, exposure and a bunch of other stuff.

I like how the grass/leaves sort of disappear in the horizon.

 I really really like the textures in this photo, I like how the leaf 

is sort of crunched up and how the pavement is a bumpy background.

I edited the photo by sharpening it and turning up the contrast so you can 

really notice the difference between the black asphalt, the pine 

needles and the leaf.

I think the mixture of the colors in this picture are just amazing. 

I love how the green tree and blue sky make a really awesome 

background and then having the beautiful, vivid orange and yellow

 leafs with the light shining through behind them. I edited the image 

by turning up the brightness, exposure, contrast and sharpening to

make the colors shine through as vivid as they can.

Thanks for looking!
