Fall collage


In this collage i  attempted to put emphasis on the bright fall colors we often see like orange, yellow and red. Your eye is immediately drawn to the bright oranges repeated through the picture. I used the smudge tool to soften the edges and  give it an interesting  effect, I used the magnetic lasso tool  so I can neatly copy the picture and paste it to my collage and  I used the opacity tool so I could make some of the leaves and  other pictures fade into the background.

Interesting lighting

In this first picture, in which my friend was gracious enough to let me use, the sunlight is intensely hitting the subjects face from the back, giving the overall photo a feeling of illumination and glow.
 

                                         
The next photo shows a very dark overall feel, with street lights contrasting a bright, orange glow. This lighting helps to draw attention to the orange lights and their reflection on the water.

Picture terms.

Framing - The way you frame a picture has a lot of effect on what your picture will look like. When you frame a picture you choose where a picture begins and where it ends. This has alot of impact  on what your  picture is going to look like.

Shapes - shape is an important and basic element in art that effects the photograph greatly. It can make the picture look very interesting depending  on what the photo is and how it is taken. you could use a silhouette or other shapes to add dynamic.


Lines- lines add dynamic as well and can play a large part  in the mood of a photo. They can be what draws the viewer in the most.


Pattern - capturing repetition or patterns in your photo can make a huge  impact on the picture.
 

Lighting - When it comes to the direction of light, there are 360 degrees of possibilities. When the light isn't working for you, change it by moving your position, your subject's position, or the light itself, if possible.


Lighting with flash - an automatic flash is included on just about every camera sold today. And most include a fill-flash setting for those less-than-perfect lighting situations that need a little boost. That doesn't mean the camera is fail-proof. You still need to know how and when to use these features.


Texture - Texture refers to the surface quality or "feel" of an object - smooth, rough, soft, etc. Textures may be actual (felt with touch - tactile) or implied (suggested by the way an artist has created the work of art -visual). Texture is often emphasized in oblique lighting as it strikes the objects from one side.

Low key lighting and high key lighting - Both High Key images and Low Key images make an intensive use of contrast, but in a very different way. When approaching a shoot of a dramatic portrait, the decision of making it a High Key, Low Key or "just" a regular image has great impact about the mood that this picture will convey. While High Key images are considered happy and will show your subject as a tooth-paste poster; Low Key portraits are dramatic and convey a lot of atmosphere and tension
This is low key lighting

This is high key lighting


Great depth of field - the portion of an image that is in sharp focus.


Shallow depth of field - lack of focus in a photo.


Abstract - It relies on our more primitive sense of form, color, and flow than it does on detail.
