Challenge Week: Perspective

For this week, our challenge was to take a picture highlighting perspective. I took this picture at the Perkiomen Trail while taking photos for the Autumn's Beauty project. I saw this tree and I liked how the sun was falling through the leaves onto the bark and the patterns of the bark. I used the perspective of someone looking up, looking at the curving trunk of the tree and the colors of the leaves. I used Lightroom to bring out the colors of the leaves a little bit more and brought the texture of the bark out a little bit more.

This picture was taken at Ursinus College. I saw this walkway that was surrounded with string lights and thought that the lighting on the walkway was nice. I liked how the lights were not in focus and were circles. I used lightroom to turn up the warmth of the photo and also turned down the blacks to bring out the white in the lights in the background.

Challenge Week: Silhouette

For this week, our challenge was to take a picture of a silhouette. For this, I used my bass guitar with a flashlight and my band posters in the background. I put the flashlight behind the guitar to make the guitar backlit, causing silhouette. I then used lightroom to bring out the shape of the guitar more, as well as make the background have a purple-ish hue. I really liked this photo because it highlights one of my passions alone with the colors in the background.
