Picture Number 1

The photographer placed the main subject in the top left of the picture, using the Rule of Thirds. Also, the logs that he is walking on lead straight to him, this means that the photographer used Leading Lines as well.

Picture Number 2

In this picture the Photographer didn't use any rules in particular. But he did darken the picture and make it black and white, adding a nice feel to it.

Picture Number 3

The photographer put two of the main subjects of the picture in the top right and bottom left of the picture, using the Rule of Thirds. He also showed a relation between the two subjects. Then to emphasise the relation, the photographer blurred out the background of the picture.

Picture Number 4

In this photo, the photographer used, yet again, Rule of Thirds to attract the eye of a person to the top right. He also used black and white to add a nice feeling to it.

Yearbook Proposal

I Christopher Varga Raic will be creating a page for the yearbook with the title “ New Start”. This page will include seven images which will reflect the difficulties of a new student coming into an unfamiliar school and dealing with the frustrations of the first few days. I will set up these photos and direct my friends during am lunch and after school to illustrate such events as finding my locker, getting bumped around in the hallways, finding my bus, too many books, making new friends, lunch problems etc. I will use my friends Chris Waet,Liam Johnson,Nick Chubb and Savanna Dunkin will photograph these situations with them and with their consent. I plan to have these images by next class.

September Light

For this assignment I took the same picture and edited it three times. The reason for this was because I wanted to show, (in the first picture) that rule of thirds, and leading lines were both present in the picture. The leading lines are the red lines that direct the viewer of the picture to the center of attention. The faded white lines, are showing that the main subject of the picture is not in the middle, and a little off center. Then, (in the second picture) I edited the layers, making myself stand out more by bluring the background. To select just myself in the picture, I used the quick mask mode to easily trace me out. Then the third picture I just added in as another layer example, I downloaded a custom font and changed the background by thresholding. I then made a rectangle and faded it. Once that was complete I added my downloaded text on it.

Rule of Thirds

In this project I used the rectangle tool to make different small rectangles to show the "Rule of Thirds" in the picture. I also put the lines at 50 % opacity to make them a little bit faded for a better look.

Leading Lines

In this post we learned using dynamic lines (in red), to show the focus on someone or something specific in the photo. We emphasized the lines in the picture by putting red lines in the direction of what the photo is focused on, and then we used a faded red oval shape to show the main focus in the photo.

Layers

In this assignment we learned how to emphasize something in the photo, such as the rainbow in this one... We also learned to use dodge and burn to darken the sky and make the rainbow more noticeable. After I dodged and burned it I also used the Unsharp Mask tool to make the rainbow stick out even more.

Duotone

This was my first assignment and in it I learned how to use Duotone to make a picture look better. I also learned how to sharpen the image and adjust different picture values like color balance crop and levels.
