Capture a Leaf

For this project I kind of knew what I wanted to do right away! One type of photography that I really really enjoy is the kind where people take pictures of their phones / cameras taking pictures. I just think it's such a cool and modern composition, and really shows how people view our world today, and how everyone can be a photographer from their own device and create their own images that they love. I think the framing of the phone display with the background blurred image is just so unique and interesting, and always makes a cool image. When I heard about the magnification image, I thought that this type of photography could pass as magnification, because most of the time you get the zoomed in, smaller image on the phone, and the full span of the landscape in the blurred section of the image outside of the phone display. For the first image, which really is the magnification one, I wanted to capture exactly that. I wanted the phone display to show the sharp, clear tops of the trees, and the rest of the image to show under the trees and the parts of the image that the phone doesn't focus on. However, this image kind of did the opposite! I noticed that there are more trees and landscape shown in the camera than in the space out of it, so it's kind of reverse-magnification! For this image, I saturated it more to bring out some of the greens of the trees and the pinks of my hand and my phone case. The second image was kind of just a fun image, because I was messing around with the idea of stitching together an object from inside the phone display and outside the phone display, like the leaf that has been cut in half. However, that image isn't really reflection. I really, really like this form of photography and will definitely be using it more!
