VanAltenaC-Texture






 * Final**

In my piece I tried to portray a unique nature scene in a graveyard, and highlighting texture in my piece. The steps I used are below.
 * 1) First I darkened the gravestone, to take away the glare.
 * 2) Next I added opacity to the gravestone.
 * 3) Then I added contrast to the gravestone.
 * 4) After that I pasted it into a bigger grave scene picture, which I will use as my background.
 * 5) Then I added the texture from the gravestone to the trees in the background photo.
 * 6) I cloned some of the tree’s leaves to make the stone blend after that.
 * 7) Next added contrast to the whole picture, and went from 0 to 52.
 * 8) Then I cropped out specific flowers from a larger flower prairie photo.
 * 9) After that I moved them to the bench on the background photo.
 * 10) Lastly I adjusted the opacity to make it blend with the scene better.

Throughout this piece I used, rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing. As you can see rule of thirds is used in my piece, because if you’d divide my piece into thirds going both ways wherever they intersect something is happening, in this case it’s the trees. Also the leading lines are the tree trunks leading your eyes up and down the picture. Lastly framing is seen between the trees that make a small square frame around the bench with flowers.In this assignment I emphasized the texture of the gravestone picture I took. I added it to the trunks of the trees to not only emphasize the texture, but to give a stronger more noticeable texture to the tree trunks.I feel I was pretty successful with the texture part of the assignment, but I feel like it could have been more creative, and unique looking. I think that if I had a vision to start with, or while I was taking pictures I could have taken pictures that I knew would look good on my final picture. If I had done this I think that the picture could look more unique and put together.
