Hands

So for this project we were asked to take a picture that incorporated hands into our potential focus, mine being broadly the outdoors. I have several pairs of lacrosse gloves, and decided to take my only pair that wasn't black and white, to try and add a bit of color to the often drab winter landscape. I took several pictures hanging off of a tree in my yard and laid out on the snow. After going through the pictures and editing the ones that I felt were of a decent quality, I went back through those and chose the one that I felt was the strongest. I used manual and manual focus to take this photograph, making sure to get the moss growing off the tree in the wrist cuff, and making sure that I used selective focus and all the attention was on the sharp, clear glove. I also messed with the saturation and contrast to try and bring out the green of the gloves.
