Koepp-Place



The first picture I chose is a beautiful photo. I chose this picture because of the feeling I get when viewing the picture. When I look at this photograph a feeling of calm goes threw my body. The completely still water and faded pink and purple sky just really makes me feel calm. Although I love the feeling I get looking at this picture there are other great things like, the leading lines shown with the peir, the level horizon shown with the mountain line, and much more. This photograph represents a landscape image.

The second picture is taken in NYC one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I chose this picture because the color auto magically drew me to it. This photo has so much vibrance and I love how it is capturing the colorful nightlife. This picture has a level horizon and many leading lines. This picture represents a cityscape, because it is a city landscape photo.

Last the third photo. I chose this picture becasue it gives off a feeling of happiness. All of the colors in this picture give off a happy feeling such as blue, pink, and green. Also they have a good use of leading lines and level horizon but also a unique point of view, you would think that one might edit out the rusty handle but I actually kind of like it being there. Having the rusty handle there makes the photo more raw. This image is one of the images that showed up as I researched urbanscapes.

 * For my project I plan on taking a landscape photo places around where I live. I have lived in the same house for 15 years and love it. I live directly on Pewaukee lake and have the prettiest view. If there is any sunsets before the project deadline I would love to take pictures of that because not only do I love the sunsets but I have created a lot of memories at sunset. I want to photograph things that give off either a happy mood and or like a content/ satisfied mood. If there are no sunsets I still plan on capturing some pretty moments of the lake during the day or evening and or just like the trees and nature around there. Once I have taken my pictures I plan on using wood to transfer my picture. I chose to do wood because most lake houses have a dock/pier and I feel like the wood could be the "pier" and or the like the wood of a tree and overall I think it would look good with the type of pictures I plan on taking.**

Steps to transferring photos to wood:
 * 1: Wet the wood to get off any dust particles.
 * 2: Apply any acrylic meduim on the wood and some not he picture generously.
 * 3: Apply picture to the wood blank side facing up.
 * 4: Use a varnishing tool to flatten out all bubbles.
 * 5: Let it dry over night or throw the day
 * 6: Saturate the photo with water until the paper is all gone.
 * 7: then you can distress the edges.
