First Picture: [] I find this portrait of a place to be outstanding because of the way the lighting, and composition work together. The artist of this piece is Dave Fokos and it is titled “shark tooth cliff”.Dave’s artwork is a result of over 30 years of exploration to understand how we are affected by the world around us, he wants to show the world all the natural beauty has to offer. This picture is an example of a landscape and uses natural light. Because it is nighttime and the picture is in black and white, the lighting creates a very eerie and mysterious feeling, also the fog on the water makes the picture look very mystical. The artist showed his skills in using the rule of thirds to make the piece have a stronger composition with the small rocks on the side, and the moon. He also created a level horizon and he used the large rock on the left side for framing the rest of the piece.

Second Picture: [|__http://www.paulpolitis.com/bwgallery/abandoned__][|__-places-photography/photograph.asp?photo=44__] This photograph intrigues me so much because it’s so mysterious and creepy. This photograph was taken by Paul Politis and is called “Vertigo”. Paul Politis is a self-taught photographer from Mentreal, Quebec who very often creates black and white photographs. This picture is an example of interiorscape. The use of available light isn't the part that makes this piece so creepy, its the fact that there is stairs but where are those stairs leading, also the editing of this picture and making it black and white adds to the mood of the piece. It creates a world of unknown in the audience's heads. This photograph uses many computational techniques such as leading lines with the way the wood from the steps leads down the stairs. Also framing because the wood around the stairs is framing the stairs and the bottom of the steps.

Third Picture: [|__http://www.photographywest.com/pages__][|__/RomanLoranc-EuropeanImages.html__] “Bielsko Biala” is the title of the last piece, this piece is photographed by Roman Loranc. Roman Loranc takes pictures in black and white and often times travel more than an hour away to find something really beautiful to take a picture of. This picture is an example of a cityscape. In this piece the leading lines are very evident. The line that is created between the sidewalk and the road cause your eye to follow that line all the way through the piece. There is also framing that you can see in the way that the surrounding buildings frame everything else.

 I hope to use the image transfer onto metal because It takes the colors and makes them more vibrant. I have two ideas for this project. One would be a picture of the ping-pong table in my basement because I spend a lot of time with my family plating ping pong. My imagery would be a close up on the broken hinge that is on the table because It represents that even though the table is a little weird we make it work.The lighting in this picture would be kind of sad because also my siblings go off to collage I know the ping-pong will stop.This picture will be an interiorscape. My second idea was to have a picture in the snow where you see my footprints and then my running shoes to symbolize how I'm always working out and on the go. The lighting in this image will be natural and the mood would be happy and show determination because the sports I play bring me a lot of joy and always push me to do my best. This picture will be a landscape. No matter what idea I choose my picture wont be bigger than a normal sized of 8.5 X 11 because I don't want It to be so small its hard to work with but I also don't want it to be too big that it is hard to handle.
