My favorite picture is the first one, where you can see through the branches of the tree.
- I tried to use the rule of thirds, I used the sky of emphasis.
- I used several principles of design in this picture, you can see the texture of the branches and the color of the sky. There's balance between the branches and the houses/trees and you can see the pattern of one tree after another.
- I shot this picture in the late morning, around 9:00 or 9:30am. I would have liked to have shot either earlier or later at night, I feel that the photo might have been more interesting at these times.
- I used the branches as the foreground and the houses as the background, which was a little different since the foreground was on top and the background was on the bottom.
Edge Burn
Channel Mixer
Lab Color Method
Gradient Map
Desaturation
- The method that produced the best result for me was the channel mixer method.
- I achieved a rather big value range with each image, the best one was the channel mixer one since you can see more white.
