The Climb

This is my photo that i took for the photo song lyric assignment. In the image there is a tree with wooden steps nailed to it. The song i choose to match this image is The climb by Miley Cyrus. In the song Miley is struggling to keep moving on through all of the hurdles in her life. To help represent this i took the picture with an upward angle. I also made the tree darker which helped add the effect of a sketchy climb into the sky above which is showing through spaces in the trees.

Repulsive 2

For my second repulsive picture i took a picture of my neighbors trash cans. Obviously trash is disgusting but the composition of colors really make this a cool photo plus the trash is blured in the background while the focal point are the sticks in the front. i used the color balance technique and my iso setting on my camera.

Repulsive

For my Repulsive picture i took a picture of a thistle because thistles are ugly and painful but at the same time the leaves on the plant have a really cool pattern. Also i used the iso setting on my camera to focus on one of the leaves which blured out the rest of the plant and the background. I also used the color balance technique and the dodge tool to darken some of the shadows and the sponge tool to enhance the green in the leaves.

attractive 2

When looking for my second attractive picture i found these two red swings at my neighbors house. They have been there for a long time so the metal chains were old and rusty and the beautiful red paint was chipping away. I used a color balance on the photo and to take the picture i used the iso setting on my camera to blur the background.

Attractive

On my scavenge for something that i thought looked attractive i found this pond. The colors and angle of the edge of the pond make it look so pretty. Unfourtuntly the gross color of the pond and alge make the picture repulsive. To edit my picture in photoshop I used a guassian blur filter and then I lightened my photo using the dodge tool. I also used a blur in the background of the photo.
