Gostisha-Texture







For my final image, i first changed the brightness of the photo. After i changed the brightness, I wanted to make the photo more "bold" so I put the contrast at a higher level. After i changed the brightness and the contrast, i copied the tree from the first picture (above) and pasted it in the bottom picture (above). I used the stamp option to make the tree look a bit more realistic. After i pasted the tree into the photo, i pasted the people (in the background). I made it look as if the people were looking at the gravestone seen in the back of the photo. I had to, again, use the stamp to make it look like they were actually viewing the gravestone. The last thing that i actually pasted into the final photo was the gravestone next to the tree. I had to change the brightness of this gravestone because it was originally very bright. To finish off the photo, i changed the level of the exposure and also the gamma level. These both assisted to make the photo look more crisp and realistic looking!

The main technique that was used in my final photo was level horizon. It is defined by the tombstones in the background, and by the grass line. This technique makes the photo look as if there is a line that is horizontally dividing the photo in half!

Some of the other elements and principles that i used were balance, contrast, and emphasis. Balance was used in my final simply because the amount of objects on each side are "balanced" with each other. Contrast was used in my final to emphasize the texture that was being demonstrated. Lastly, emphasis was demonstrated in my final to make the photo more defined!

The texture that I emphasized the most in this photo was the road. I made the damaged areas look a bit more defined than they actually were. I also made the chipping of the road stand out more so that it looked like it was freshly damaged.

I feel that, with this assignment, I was partially successful; but, i feel as if i could have but way more effort into it. My first problems was that i didnt take enough photos/any photos that really worked well with this assignment, so it was hard for me to start out. Also, i feel as if i could have made the photoshopped parts of the photo way more realistic. I did a nice job with cutting them and pasting them into the final, but i think that i should have taken more time to perfect it!
