I decided to choose this image because I like the layout, it gives it a dark vibe. The guy seemed so comfortable smoking in his slippers. One thing I wish that was not in the picture is the orange cone.

This picture was originally darker, lightroom helped me fix the exposure.
Photoville
Photoville is New York City’s free premier photo destination. The festival is a venue built from re purposed shipping containers. Photoville gives you an opportunity to engage with a diverse audience. It’s located at Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO. Its like a photography village with over 65 shipping containers turned into into galleries. Photoville is open to the public all ages and dogs as well making it unlike any other photo festival in the world.
The exhibit that really caught my attention was called “Battles Won”. Presented by the U.S. Marine Corps.

The first thing that caught my eye was the green smoke coming towards their direction. The way the photo was taken in motion and the perspective it is in.
Photo 2: Marines Battle Against Obstacles

The Marines are in a Assaultman Course detonate a timber charge during a demolition and explosive training exercise. As well as for this picture, the explosion takes up a lot of the background giving it a contrast of different colors from the fire which makes the image so powerful.

U.S. Marines with Maritime Raid Force, on an inflatable boat to conduct a visit, board, search and seizure mission. I love how the Marines are the main focus in this picture. The colors from the water and the sunset in the background give it a dramatic effect.

I took this picture mainly because of the man on the bike, but when I looked at the picture on the computer screen I noticed that there was a lot more shadows going on. I decided to make it black and white because everything seemed to look more visible that way. You can see not only the bike shadow but as well as the shadow of the trees and people walking. There is a lot of negative space in this picture. I was trying to take a figure to ground shot but he was going really fast on his bike.
Homework #1
On the website for top modern photographers, there were many great photographers. But one photographer really stood out to me, and that is Alex Noriega. He is an award winning landscape photographer from the US and Capture Landscapes Photographer of 2017. I found his website and there were these two images, it was hard to choose just one. Both have a lot of depth in them.
In the first image, the sunlight attracted my eyes, and from that it spread the focus around the entire shot. From the sky to the water to the trees and to the shadows on the snow. The second image has a lot more going on but it works though. The shadows hovering around the mountain and the trees really cover up the other side to make it more dramatic it seems because of the darkness.
