Fall Series Best Of

This is my fall series best of draft. I'm not completely done because I feel like I just got a hold of how to take and edit these photos to their potential.

Ansel Adams Series 4

In this series, I feel like I have pretty much solidified my technique. It starts with a picture of a tree (or multiple trees) and I edit the sky in a separate layer than the trees or foreground. Sometimes I'll even take out a telephone poll or power lines.

Ansel Adams(ish) - Series 3

I mainly focused on making the leaves dark and the sky bright with photoshop. I cut the background out and edit it on its own, while editing the foreground and subjects by themselves, and merge it back into one picture.

Ansel Adams Series Draft 2

For this series, I focused a lot on high and low exposures, before and after editing. This draft was made when I didn't have a clear idea of what I was doing, and I changed it in the middle of the week, hence the three photos.

Ansel Adams Series 1

This series is trying to assimilate the works of the esteemed artist Ansel Adams. He took lots of landscape photos (most famously in Yosemite), and edited the exposure of each element, making one part of the photo overexposed and super bright, or underexposed and super dark. I tried my hand at it and these are my results.

Portraits

This whole series was based around people that blend into their environments. Most are my friends when they played at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma this weekend, or just other random shots I got. I used a Canon T3I rebel mostly on 1/200ths on 3.4ƒ or 5.6ƒ.
