BussS-texture











The criteria for this project was to combine three photos that display texture into one. I met the criteria by going out and taking various texture based pictures in the prairie and the graveyard, then using my newly learned photoshop skills to combine the photos. My concept was to combine and display a various range of colors that were all found outside in the same general area. While we were outside for our shoots and I was observing the world around me I realized what a range of colors there are all over the world. And I wanted to display that realization through my final project. While photoshopping this picture I tried to keep the general rule of thirds in my mind- and I believe that I did in a sense. The photo isn’t exactly split three ways but I like the slightly offset/uneven look; it’s different. I think one thing I definitely need improvement on is my photoshop skills. The advanced photoshopping is new and pretty foreign to me- so I feel that this is where I struggled most. I did think that this was a useful first project for learning the skills we will begin to develop over the semester. This project taught me a lot about the basics of how to actually use a nice camera without using the “dummy-settings”. It taught me what aperture, ISO and shutter speed are, what they do, and why they are important in taking a quality photo.
