Homework for 1-18-11: Edited Portrait Photos


Shadows: 
This one was a little hard for me because the camera I was using 
did not adjust to the dark very well, so that made it hard to get
the image I wanted right. With lots of editing the picture became
brighter and was easier to see. I know this is far from perfect, but
it is sort of the vision I had for the picture. 

Un-Focused:
I am actually quite happy with the finished product of this image.
Again it is not perfect, but I think it captures the technique of "Un-Focused" 
that I read from the article. My original vision for this was to have the 
subject leaning on the fence and for the focus to be on the fence. However,
it ended up that the focus was on the other side of the fence and I think
it turned out ok. 

Posing:
My vision was for the subject to kind of be sitting on the bench,
thinking and looking in the distance. Based on that I think it
turned out ok, but I wish her face was more in focus. I also, regret
not putting more of the bench in the frame.   

Get Close:
Obviously, the idea of this technique was for the image to be
pretty close up. Now, I guess this is fairly close. I think the photo
turned out ok, I like how the "Rule of Thirds" has played in here
and the main subject is off to one side, rather than just flat down
in the middle. Although, I do wish because she has such pretty eyes 
that her eye would be more in focus and pop more.
