assignment #7: DIY pt. 1

For my DIY project, I am going to take a picture of a window and make it have a different background. The picture of the window will be a plain white wall surrounding it, and the lighting hitting it just right. For the background part, I will take a picture of a certain scenery and photoshop the scenery into the window to create a sense of looking out a window and seeing some beautiful and different world versus a road or trees.

Assignment #5: designing a photographic essay

For this assignment, I was inspired by the essay topic "a day in the life". When I do not have school, a day in my life is filled with driving to new places and adventuring. I go to cool scenery spots and places with lots of nature or roads with views. For my essay, I took one of my friends along with me and we adventured. We went to different spots with views, trees, and street views, which are the three main things I love photographing. The places I either adventure to are around the area where I live, Half Moon Bay, and San Francisco. Since I always go to the city or the beach, I decided to stay local. My theme throughout these pictures was to fully grasp my three main things I love photographing. These are an adventure filled day in my life:

The first place we stopped at was a viewpoint in Hillsborough and we walked down below the main area to find cooler spots.

The second place was at a viewpoint in San Carlos.

This one was taken at the second location but a little further up; I chose this one because the pattern on the ground made it interesting.

The third place we stopped at was on one of the trails on Cañada Road.

This photo was taken at a road a few minutes from my house that I loved because of the scenery in the background.
