   The mood of this photo is sad, and depressing. 
     The girl looks like she's had enough and can't take anymore.

Shadow Project



Full: This photo was edited in lightroom. 
To create the shadow in this picture I used a flashlight.
The feeling of this photo is to feel whole and 
fulfilled. In lightroom I raised exposure by .75,
contrast to 78, highlights by 72, shadows by 9, decreased
whites by 74, and blacks by 66. 

Empty: This photo was edited in Lightroom. 
To create the shadow in this photo I used a flashlight, and
white sheet. The mood is sad and feeling empty, like
you're heartbroken and drank your sorrows away.
In lightroom I raised the exposure by1.15, contrast by 71, 
highlights by 19, shadows by 36, decreased whites by 54,
and blacks by 73.

The swing: This photo was edited in photoshop, and lightroom. 
Natural light was used to create this shadow. I used brightness
and contrast, levels, and curves in photoshop and adjusted things
in lightroom as well. I found it more difficult to edit in Ps 
then in Lr because I can't use it as well.  

 
Childhood: This photo was edited in lightroom. Natural light was used
to create this shadow. The feeling is sad and feeling
like you've grown up and are no longer a kid. 
In lightroom I made the photo black & white, I raised
contrast by 44, whites by 40, decreased exposure by .55,
highlights by 49, and blacks by 75.

The dog: This photo was edited in lightroom. 
I used a flashlight and a white sheet to create this shadow.
The mood is mellow and calm. In lightrom I raised
exposure by 1.15, contrast by 67. highlights by 88,
decreased shadows by 77, whites by 46, and blacks by 15.

3rd times the charm: This was edited in Ps and Lr. 
I used a flashlight and white sheet to create this shadow. 
In Ps I used brightness and contrast, and levels along with 
adjusting things in Lr. I found it more difficult to used Ps
over Lr because I couldn't use it as well.

POV Photo Project

                                          Bug's eye view: I used bug's eye view to capture the details and beauty of this flower. In lightroom I made the flower more vibrant so the background wouldn't take the viewer's eyes away from the flower, as well as raising the clarity but only over the flower.
                                          Eye level view: I used eye level because that was the best angle to capture the way the flowers grew. In lightroom I made it very vibrant and adjusted the photo had less whites and more blacks. I also heightened the clarity.
                                                    Eye level view: I used a different angle to take this photo to show how elegant flowers can grow and how it can look like another part of the plant. In lightroom I didn't edit that much except adjusting the shadows and whites to make them show up less in the photo. I also heightened the clarity and contrast to make it clearer and pop more.     
                                          Bugs' eye view: I wanted to use bug's eye view when photographing these plants because I though it showed a lot of details that other views wouldn't capture. In lightroom I adjusted the exposure a little to make the purple in the photo show more and then added more contrast to make the green in the photo more vibrant. I also made the whites show more to brighten the photo and then adjusted the blacks to show less along with the shadows so you could notice all the small factors in this photo.
