I was inspired by Imogen Cunningham and the way they photograph close ups of plants and flowers. I went around my back and front yard and took a serious of photos of flowers, plants and ora nges. I wanted to try and get some birds but they flew away to fast. I took close ups in different points of view and places in the frame. I will use photoshop to help brighten up some of the key colors in the photos and crop or blur out images in the background so the focus is on what I want. I used fill the frame and rule of thirds in most to all of my photos.

Imogen Cunningham close up images are in all black in white that gives a classic and simple look that makes the detail stand out and get my attention.

Henri Cartier-Bresson's photo of the stair case inspired me because of its black and white filter and how he used the point of view from above on the top of the stars. There is pleasing movement happening with the man on his bike and the spiral stars case going down.

Paul Caponigro's way of capturing interesting and detailed photos of nature and natural formations. His collection of sunflowers and the largeness of the flowers and the filling the frame choice, also his rock collection with the sun, the point of views he shot from and how he worked with and captured the sun.
