Framing

This week my other task was to collect at least five shots that represent framing. This was easier said than done, while still producing what I consider quality work. Over the span of the week though, I feel like I captured at least five quality shots. I also played around with the settings in Picasa a bit just for fun. I will include those photos, along with the originals.

                                                 The Old Mill

This old Mill in Johnson is located near a covered bridge, which I attempted to use to frame my shot. I really like the way the tree leaves hang down over the bridge. I really wished the tree branch partially covering the mill wasn't in the way, but there was no way to get to it to move it, and this angle was pretty much the only one I could capture from below the bridge without a waterproof camera!

 

 

These next two shots were taken from inside the bridge, using the different shaped windows to try to frame the shot.

 

 

Plot Hill Cemetery:

While trying to capture shots for my rule of thirds entry, I snapped this one through the front gate of the cemetery to capture a framed picture of the stones. I wasn't entirely happy with the way this one turned out, but it was hard to fit the gate and both posts into the frame and capture the stones at the same time.

 

Main Street Cemetery:

I used two three Grave stones in another cemetery to frame a shot of these monoliths.
 

Flowers:

The old fence surrounding my yard makes a good frame for a picture of one of my flower gardens!

 

Color Edits:

While I was fiddling with Picasa, I messed with the colors a bit on a few of my shots. I realize this wasn't part of the assignment, but I liked the look of them, so I decided to share what I came up with! By using the Focal black and white tool, you can add areas of color to a black and white photo. I thought these two looked pretty neat!
