This photograph was taken at the beginning of my "Depth of Field" project. The image emphasizes the leaves that seem to be closer than the blurred out background. Using an ISO of 400, an aperture of 5.6, and a shutter speed of 1/400, the particular autumn-feeling light was captured. Moreover, a zoom of 55 millimeters was able to perfectly capture the leaves and transform them into the focal point of the entire picture. I hope to advance my skills in Depth of Field throughout the remainder of the project! :)
This tutorial encompasses all the lessons in chapter 11 (page 11-2 through 11-17). Using tools in photoshop, we enhanced the original picture by modifying color balance settings for the bottom left green heart, as well as saturating a color range and using the Sponge tool to saturate the yellow and orange hearts respectively. Moreover, we played with the color of the purple heart using level settings. Lastly, we added a color sample and a lighting effect to create the bright emphasis in the middle of the image.
Erik Johansson’s artwork utilizes illusions as he brings his imagination to life. In this photo, “Helping Fall,” he uses different photographs and threads them together to create a whole new meaning and idea. Instead of finding the right place to take the photograph, he creates his own moment and place in time. He possibly used two different photos, one of the two people with gardening tools and another with the tree. He threaded these two together, and with the help of photoshop, made created an illusion of the people sucking the leaves of the tree into the vacuum. Johansson uses movement; the reader’s eyes follow the tree’s leaves into the vacuum. Moreover, using the rule of thirds, the two focal points Johansson emphasizes in the picture are on the left and right thirds creating a composition. He also uses cool colors in the background to offset the more vibrant, warm colors of the tree and people to emphasize them.
