Digital Photo - Kiera Chapman

 Landscapes  Grand Landscapes - the “big view” for pictures of the great outdoors - wide-open expanses that showcase the majesty of the natural world. National, State, or city parks are great locations to explore landscapes. Detail Landscapes -  often, a less imposing landscape which is more inviting and comfortable. Abstract Landscapes -  images composed of lines, shapes, values, and textures. Tree bark patterns or lichen on a boulder can become abstract images.

Still Life Narrative   4 Angles   New Edits  Color Splash Hue/Saturation B&W Original Edit Reflection Questions   1.  What is the story behind your best image?  My image is supposed to represent my dedication and love for sports. Since it has many aspects of training and achievements it symbolizes the work you must put in to sports and the rewards you receive from sports. 2.  What do you like best about your best image? I like my compositions as well as the bathing suit draped over the second weight which adds height to the short left side of the photo.  3.  Of the three adjustments (part 3) Which one do you like best with your image and why? I like the color splash since it allows you to emphasize one object in the photo. 4.  What would you have done differently? I do regret not putting the taller trophy on the left to balance the photo because the arrangement looks angled up left. I would also try to find a better background than my bedroom wall and carpet.
