Black and White Landscape Photo







  • What challenges did you encounter photographing and editing this image? 
    • Some challenges that I encountered while photographing and editing this image was making sure that the image was not overexposed or underexposed. I also wanted to make sure that the image was not completely white, because of water and sky's brightness. 
  • How did you overcome these challenges?
    • I overcame these challenges by attempting to balance out the highlights and shadows in the image through Lightroom. 
  • How did you add depth to your image?
    • I added to depth to my image by making sure I had a foreground, middle ground, and background in my photo. The boat is the foreground, the water is the middle ground, and the levy is the background. 
  • Do you like your image in black and white or color more? Why? 
    • I like images in color more because it shows more life and excitement in a photo. Even though black and white images can sometimes show more meaning, I like the idea of vibrance in color. 
  • What would you do differently if you did it again?/What would make it better?
    • What I would do if I had to do this photo again, I would try to have more contrast between the water and the sky. I would also take it at a different time, where there would be clouds, creating more differences between the black and white parts of my image.

Cyanotype Reflection 1. In this project, I learned about Anna Atkins and the process she used to create a cyanotype. 2. I chose a lightbulb, star stickers, lace, and leaves to create my cyanotypes. I picked these materials because I knew that the silhouette of them would turn out to be really cool.  3. Some of the objects did not appear on the cyanotype that I envisioned. Specifically the lightbulb, I didn't know that the shadow of it would appear on the photo. I also could have placed the lightbulb in a different location.  4. If I did this again, I would have added more star stickers to the cyanotype, as well as place the lightbulb in the center of the photo, rather than crooked. I would also have painted the chemicals on the paper more thoroughly, as many white edges appeared in the photos.

Hanging or Suspended Photo

Edited: Unedited: What compositional element(s) did you choose? How did the compositional element(s) add to the meaning or purpose of the photograph? The compositional elements I choose was pattern and textures. I thought that the wooden post added different textures and tones to the image. In addition, I also used the rule of thirds elements for the viewer to focus on the leaf in the spiderweb. This creates the leaf to be the focal point of the image. Do you think you were successful in translating your thoughts into a visual form? What aspects of the photograph lead you to this conclusion? I think I was semi-successful in translating my thoughts in visual form. I found it hard to present my thoughts through an image like this. I think that I could have created the photo to be more metaphorical or contain more meaning. The aspects of the photo that lead to this conclusion were that there was no emotion or tone in this photo. I could have incorporated this ...
