Exploring Landscapes 2

 Image 1
 Image 2
Image 3

1. For image 3 I used rule of thirds and emphasized the sky more by placing the horizon lower than the center.
2. I used emphasis, proportion and movement by capturing the road.
3. The image was taken around 3 in the afternoon, I think it was a good time to shoot because although the sky was a bit cloudy there was still some sun behind the clouds that brightened the sky just a little. 
4. I used the foreground/background relationship by capturing the road and the proportion of the road from foreground to background. 


Burned Edges

Channel Mixer

Desaturation Method

Gradient Map

Lab Color Method

1. I think that the Gradient Map method turned out the best because of the large value range.
2. I think that each image has a pretty large value range, least being the Lab Color Method and the best being Channel Mixer and Gradient Map methods.

Macro Lens

 2
3

1. It was very interesting to see how much detail the lens could capture, at first it was hard figuring out how close you had to get to the object. 
2. My favorite picture is the first one of the flower because it is really pretty and cool to see the center of the flower so detailed. 
3. Image 2 shows the best use of the rule of thirds.
