Composition Photos:

I decided to do my photo series around trees and the outdoors, I went outside and took different kinds of pictures of trees at different angles. My favorite picture in this series is the 4th one with the shed. I like this picture because it has a main focus point and the shed makes the picture seem a little spooky because it is the only building in the picture in the middle of all the trees, as if it were abandoned.

Visual Story Telling:

This picture is showing a story of determination. By having Carroll in a timeout, it is showing that they have the determination to win the game because of their coach composing a strategy to get ahead in the game.   

This picture is showing a story of hard work and logic. The referee is holding his fingers in the air showing that he knows what he is doing when he is reffing the game. If you look closely, you can see that he is sweating showing that he is working hard to make the basketball game fair.  

This picture is telling a story of warning and danger. This car was bought off of craigslist for very cheap, and the person who bought it, didn't know of the risks of buying a car that cheap. The next day while being parked in the parking lot, caught fire and burned the inside and outside of the car. Nobody was hurt, but it should be known to make sure that you're getting a decent car, and a safe car from an unknown seller on a marketplace.

This picture is telling a story by the position that he is in, it appears that he is in deep focus and thinking about something.

This picture is telling a story of motivation. By having all the words on the wall saying something motivating like ‘Strength’, ‘Power’ or ‘Hope’.

Edited Before and After:

For this picture, it may not be obvious, but I upped the colors a little especially the reds and greens. I also increased the contrast as well.

In this picture, I lowered the exposure a tiny bit so the clouds had more detail. Increased the contrast a little bit, and put a subtle vignette on the picture.

In this picture, I lowered the exposure, boosted the contrast, added more blue in the picture to give more detail on the buildings, I also put a vignette around the picture too.
