[|Mount Williamson] by Ansel Adams
 * Landscape

The lighting in the photo is natural lighting because the photo was taken outside. Ansel Adams is known for shooting black and white photos of nature, so this photo fits perfectly with his style. Adams used the compositional technique of level horizon because he did a good job of having a straight and level horizon line. Also, he used fill the frame because a majority of the photo is filled with the rocks. This picture gives off a peaceful mood because the scene is so still and the rays of sunlight provide a calm energy to the photo.

[|Title Unknown] by Shaun O’Boyle
 * Interiorscape

In this photo, available light is streaming in through the window, but some artificial light from the store could be used too. Shaun O’Boyle takes a lot of pictures of objects in many different places and he has different folders for each gallery, this one is part of the “Bazaar” collection. He used framing with the window sill and leading lines from the candlesticks and the strings coming off the window. This photo has an antique mood to it, because it was part of the Bazaar gallery and the objects in the photo look like something you would find at an antique store or flea market.

[|Chrysler Building At Night] by [|hogophotoNY] (flickr)
 * Cityscape

This photo is from a photographer on flickr and they used artificial lighting from the lights of the buildings. The subject of the photographer varies each photo, but they always shoot cityscapes and landscapes. The compositional techniques he used were framing and fill the frame, because not only do the buildings line the edges of the photo to provide a frame for the picture but they also fill the entire space and there's very little negative space in the background. This photo has a quiet mood to it because even though it was taken in a busy city the black and white filter makes the picture seem that it was taken at night during a quiet time.

For my final I wanted to take the picture I took at the house we stayed in when we went to Florida a couple years ago. Every morning, me and my cousin would come out to the doc and try to catch fish. Every time I look at this photo I remember that time with my cousin and it makes me feel happy and sad at the same time because I think of the fun memories that came form that place but now my cousin is in college in Oregon so I rarely get to see him anymore. I want to print this photo on wood, because when I think of beach houses and docs I think of bright colors and wooden houses and docs so I want to make the photo really bright and print it on wood.
