I love a great picture!!

Ahhh! Another day of lovely Michigan weather. Last week we froze with single digit temperatures and this week it is in the 50s. Don't you just love it. So how is photography going? I know we haven't done that much with it, but I think you guys are going to like taking pictures and working with them in Photoshop. I want you to take a look at the picture below and in your answer to my blog write 5 things that you find interesting that make this a great picture. Look closely and study before you write your five things. Think about lines, color, placement, tone, etc.



In your blog this week you can talk about anything (more than just one sentence!). Also remember no funny abbreviations and no spelling errors. Along with your blog I want you to upload your flower picture to your site. Just checking to see that you can add pictures to a blog. We love pictures. You should probably resize the picture a bit and be sure that it is a .jpg. Other than that, it is a piece of cake uploading pictures to blogs. So....enjoy!

Have a great end to your week and enjoy the weekend. Anyone going to the dance on Friday? Do you really know what Sadie Hawkins is? Do you know where it came from? A bit of extra credit if you can answer those two questions in your own blog. NO cheating...look it up yourself.

I like how the sun is not completely in the picture. It makes it more interesting. The railroad gives your eyes a guidline to follow. It has a great dark to light contrast. The tone is good. The clouds looke very cool.

Randolph said...

The railroad tracks are highlighted nicely, the sun is very bright, the shadow of the tree is nicely shadowish, the clouds are nicely colored, and the sun is bright.

Stu said...

I really like the warm tone of the whole picture and the the angle gives the impression that you are about to take some long journey. The horizon really compliments the sky and the ground as dark as it is compliments the sky and shows just the railroad track without the ties.

I hope that we work on taking pictures for a while because it is something new and fun.

1) Lighting
2) Reflection from the sun on the railroad tracks
3) The trees used for the background
4) The sky color
5) The mood of the photo

The rails really pop out at you, the color of the sky, the sun the outline of the trees, the clouds. No I am not going to the dance.

I really never take a lot of pictures but it seems like it would be pretty fun just have to see how it goes.
The things i like about the picture is the sunset. It brightens the whole picture. Then the railroad tracks it kind of makes you think that it is leading you somewhere. The clouds make this picture look really nice. Another thing is the trees you know its in the winter because there is no leaves and how the picture is taking u noticed the sun is not right in the center of the picture its kind or off in the corner.

I love photography, therefore this part of the class is going great. I'm learning a lot of new things when it comes to photos.

In this photo of yours I think the five best things are:

1) The way the train track draws your eye, and how dominant it is in the photo.
2) The blackness at the bottom and then the brightness as it rises.
3) The sun really gives it that natural light that looks amazing.
4) Even the formations of the clouds look like something right out of a drawing. They looked like they were placed there for that picture.
5) Last but not least, I like the color scheme of it all. The blue, goldish, and black really compliment each other.

Right now photography is going pretty well. Its a really easy thing to do. Five things that make that a good picture are the color, the shadowing, the placement, the angle of the picture, and a nice filter.

I am not going to the dance on friday, I don't know what Sadie Hawkins is but if I had to guess I'd say its some lady who liked to dance to country music. I don't know where it came from.
