1st Practice at the Arboretum

In this picture half is the main image which is tree bark and half is the faded out background I have done this to create two completely different effects I have captured the detail and the smallness of the main image and with the background I have captured the vastness and how large everything is.

In this photo I have captured the side of a tree and half of the top of a tree stump, I have done this because I wanted the main focus to be a frame around a solid thing in the background, this is why I have purposely over exposed the water in the background because I wanted it to be a solid thing and not to draw your eye away from the detail and shape of the frame/main focus.

In this picture I have captured a tree in the center immediately this focuses where the viewer is looking, after they have viewed the basics of the picture I have captured the path and a fence going from the foreground of the photo to the background of the photo just behind the center focus which is the tree, I have done this to get the viewer more involved rather than just looking at the picture.

these last two pictures I have taken of the duck and the pigeon i dislike because both are to dull and dark, the main focus (two birds) aren't drawing the viewer in theirs nothing special about them, apart from this my technique is good, the main images are in focus and the photos if timed better could involve the viewer more.

In this photo I have captured the edge of a wall from underneath, I have captured it in a way that it makes it a leading line which gets the viewer interacting with the photo but unlike other leading lines where the make the viewer follow the lines to a certain things I have done it so they follow up the line viewing things as they go such as cobwebs and the details of the wall.

In these four pictures I have capture a flower with four different types of aperture and shutter speed, the first picture I captured the flower with too much light exposure, as the pictures went on I changed the shutter speed to capture more details and to not capture as much light exposure. what I have captured in the photo is a bright flower against a dark solid background of, I have done this because it draws the main focus of the viewer to the main image which is the flower, also in this picture there is another thing in focus which is the flower to the left which hasn't blossomed, even though this isn't the main focus it draws the viewers eye towards it which gets the view more interactive with the photo.

In this picture I have captured the detail of the building and made that my main focus I haven't captured any of the clouds details because I wanted the images main focus to be the building.I have captured it with very little light because I wanted to emphasize it and make it stand out from the light/white background.
