Project: Portraits and Landscapes

This is my picture "Enjoying the Woods."

I took this picture at my grandparent's house.

This portrait picture shows good lighting since there is a little shadow, but it is soft and not distracting. This picture also has framing, since the tree frames the subject on one side of the photo. The background is not distracting. The colors are all relatively similar, but the jacket that the subject is wearing is gray and black, which helps it stand out from the browns and greens of the background!

This is my picture "Fall Day."

I took this picture at my grandparent's house.

This landscape picture has a lot of depth. The path heading into the distance helps you to see the depth. The main subject of this photo is the light pole, which is placed on the third. The path also acts as a leading line, that leads to the light pole. The trees in the background act as a pattern too!

This is my picture "Woods in the Fall."

I took this picture at my grandparent's house.

This landscape/portrait picture shows the depth of the landscape and the focus on the subject. The subject's face is well lighted and I had him stand in the soft shadow of the trees. The depth of the background is very obvious because of all the trees. The lighting with the shadows of the trees is also very interesting. The color story is the same as the first picture, with the gray of the subject's jacket standing out against the background.
