This portrait of landscape taken by Dave Fokos. This photo shows compositional techniques such as level horizon, leading lines with the rocks, and rule of thirds as there are 3 different rock placements shown.. The shoreline of the ocean, with the rocks will take you around the bottom half of the photo. But when entering the negative space of the top half, your eye will move to the tiny moon/sun in the back, which makes the picture have lots of depth and makes it interesting. I get a calm feeling from this photo as I don't know the colors but I am very content when looking at it as I can make my own colors up. http://www.popphoto.com/how-to/2013/01/modern-masters-black-and-white-landscape-photography#page-3

The next portrait, demonstrating interiorscape was take by Al Mullen. This picture shows an abandoned home with broken wood scattered. The compositional techniques such as leading lines with the wood and windows, and fill the frame as the whole room isn't shown, but an interesting point of view of what is shown. The broken wood leads your around to different points of views of the home, and the torn walls are very interesting. This picture gives me a broken and lonely feeling. http://portalwisconsin.org/modernruins.cfm

The last picture I found of cityscape was taken by Paul Raphaelson. This picture shows something of a party downtown Chicago, with the big buildings in the background. It demonstrates the compositional techniques of leading lines with the building, filling the frame as people and the buildings will flow off the page, and a sort of level horizon. The different sizes of the buildings lead your eyes around the picture. The mood that comes off of this is busy, but happy because it looks like something happy is going on, celebration. http://www.paulraphaelson.com/portfolios/chicago/#9

media type="youtube" key="eN89-ceFJ-U" width="420" height="315" I would love to try transferring an image to wood because I love the look of how it can turn out. It makes me feel at home and calm. So when using this technique, it would defiantly work since we are doing portrait of a place, and I like feeling at home. The wood also gives the photo a nice texture and depth to the image. I want my concept to be something with feeling content. I am not quite sure what yet, but I like giving off of the feeling of being happy and lively. With this, I would hope for my image to contain warm colors since it is such a warm feeling when you are in your favorite spots. I will want to illustrate an interiorscape or landscape type of place, since I am not a city person, I don't like the big buildings, and being so crunched. I like to be free and able to do my own thing. I would like my final image to be 11x17 or even smaller like 8x10, just because I like my images smaller and more in depth.
