Color project

 Color Project part 2 lighting:
Depth of Field:
The depth of field varies throughout the four pictures. In the top right picture of Lindsay there is a medium to shallow depth of field. Things are really clear close up. You can see the details in here face and hand a lot, however, the trees in the far distance seem to get a little blurry. This same type of depth of field is used in both of the pictures of Chelsie, Her body/face is clear, but as you start to move back the trees get slightly  out of focus. The picture of the American flag in the lower right corner has a deeper depth of field then the other pictures.  That whole picture seem to be clear and in focus.

Exposure:
All of these pictures were taken with about the same exposure. However, in photoshop I did some changes with the lighting and brightness which gave the picture a different exposure effect. By making the pictures darker it gave the look of a lower exposure level. I think this enhanced the look of my photos and made the blue lighting stand out.

Lighting:
The lighting was one of the main elements of these pictures. I choose to take them in natural lighting on a pretty cloudy grey day. The bluish light really shown through in the images. By enhancing the color in photoshop it really made the images pop and gave them a cool vibe. I really light how the blur lighting stands out in my images.

Lines:
There are many different lines throughout these images. One is found in the left handed image of Chelsie. The line of the shore leading back draws the looker into the image. Another line found in the lower right image creates a really good use of the rule of thirds. This creates a really could composition. A final line I thought stood out was the horizon line in the top right image. This line helps divide the picture up and makes for an interesting image.

Color:
There are a couple different elements to the coloring in these images. The blue lighting really stands out in all the images. This use of color creates an interesting realistic color scheme. The red also stands out in these images. I thought this was kind of symbolic because it went along with a red, white, and blue, American theme. A final color that I thought popped in the images was the green of the grass.

Composition:
Rule of thirds was definitely the main compositional element in these images. In the center lower picture and the top right picture her face helps split up the rule of thirds. In the main picture of Chelsie her body makes a good composition being all the way on the left side. On the picture of the flag of course the pole and the flag make up the rule of thirds.
