Global Corrections – Yunique

October 20, 2021 / Yunique Griffith / 1 Comment

For my before image, I captured a some berries in a bush. At first glance, the mood of this photograph is very dull and dreary. All from the color and lighting of the photo. There are also various colors being used, but I felt that it should give the image a bit of pop to it.

For my after image, there have been many edits that helped changed the mood of my photograph. In Lightroom, I wanted to give my subject, the berries, a bit more color to it. I wanted to increase the hues on my reds in the image so that the series appeared more lively and present. I decreased my exposure slightly, increased the contrast and reduced some of the highlights. I also reduced some of the whites in the image. clarity was also fixed in which I increased it slightly. I also wanted the trees in the background to be more greener, so I also messed around with the green hues within my image. Sharpening, Vibrance and Saturation were also increased slightly.

I was drawn this photo because of the contrast that the color of the flower and the leaves in the back make, I also like the fact that we can notice the seasonal change by looking at the rose petals.

I really love that he was able to capture the bees sitting on the flowers, it is really hard to do and the depth of field created by the background is really cool, he also used he rule of thirds.

The vibrant color of the flowers make contrast with the dead grass and I like the fact that his focus is on the purple floors rather than the white ones. I also like that he filled the frame with the flowers.

This is my favorite one, it has a romantic feel to it and I love the singular red rose in the middle of the frame. I also like the contrast of the red and green and the amount of exposure he used.

Midterm Critique – Melissa’s Photos

This photograph was one of the best in terms of capturing the natural beauty of a plant. There were many different forms that were achieve within this image such as fill the frame and the use of shallow depth of field. I like how the color green radiates throughout the image.

Some things about this photo is that if fills the frame, has great backlight and also focuses on the subject, the berries, more than what’s being shown in the background.

This photograph highlights the natural beauty of Mother Nature. We are seeing elements of a shallow depth of field which is capturing the beauty of the plants we see in the photograph. The lighting is also well achieved when cast upon the plants.

This photograph is also interesting and one of the best I’ve seen in terms of capturing a wild animal in its habitat. We can see the usage of the rule of thirds which suggests that the subject does not have to be in the center of the image. The lighting is also varied in which we can see that the squirrel, the subject, is in a more dimmer area than the background which has more direct light.

1 pt. Look at your partner’s work to date for the midterm. Select what you think are their 4 best photos. Download small versions of those photos and create a post on Openlab that includes those four photos with at least two sentences describing each one and what makes it a good photo. You must use two of these terms to describe each photo: rule of thirds, diagonal lines, leading lines, pattern, symmetry, figure to ground, contrast of light and dark, a frame within a frame, depth of field, angle of view.
