Week 3- Cropping composition

f/6.3   1/250  ISO 100

Here is a close crop frame of Tracy. I love the fun side in this image the only problem I have is that you can see one eyebrow and not the other because she has tilted her head to the side. But I should have told her and reshot it. Her arms lead my eyes to her lovely painted fingernails which then leads me to her face that she is trying to hide!

f/5.0  1/160  ISO 100

I felt the need to do some adjustments in this photograph, I boosted the Metallic grey and orange colours using the adjustment brush. This made the image pop more. I really like how the railing frames the steps and also how the lines in he steps lead my eye to the warm orange wall in the background. I think this image is successful because of where I positioned the steps in the photograph and the contrast of the two different colours. 

f/5.0  1/160  ISO 100

I photographed this in live view so i could line Tatiana up in one of the intersecting lines. I really like this image because of how the tree takes up one corner and also frames the pathway. I had edited this in Camera raw because i wanted to straighten it slightly so that the line in the pathway at the bottom of the frame was straight. I also did some slight adjustments to the shadows so they were not as intense, Especially in the tree.

Before.

After- f/6.3  1/250  ISO 100

Heres a before and after of some editing I did in this photograph. As you can see in the first photo it was on a bit of slope but i used the Auto camera correction tool to straighten it up. I also cropped this photograph and minimised the negative space and cut off some of the first pole to mirror the pole right at the end which has been cut out. I really love the leading lines in this photograph and the pattern of the poles, I purposely got Tatiana to stand on on of the poles to disturb the pattern, I think it looks quite affective and adds a bit of character to the photo.

Bernd and Hilla Becher inspired photograph. Obviously had to do adjustments but I really like the bottom photograph. I used the perspective crop tool too make it more even and straight. 

Here I had a play with composition, I used live view mode to make the door on one of the rule of third lines. I used the Clarity slider to make the photograph look more grungy and then made it black and white to give it an older look.
