Wet Leaves (HDR) photo #4

-Objective 2

Camera mode: M (I get more control of the camera)

f stop: f/10.0 (needed a bit more in focus)

Shutter speed: 1/13, 1/50, 1/200 (needed 3 different exposed photos for HDR)

ISO: 200 (needed a slightly faster shutter speed)

Focal length: 300 mm (I couldn’t get any closer so I used a bigger focal length to get closer)

 

-Objective 3

Principles

•Balance (There is a good balance between the leaves and the background)

•Movement (The Branch makes the image move towards the top right part of the image)

•Contrast (The green on the branch contrasts well with the red)

Elements

•Form (The shadows on the leaves gives a 3 dimensional feel to the photo)

•Texture (Good texture with the water on the leaves)

•Line (Good leading lines in the Image)

•Shape (there is a lot of organic shapes)

 

-Objective 4

I used hard side lighting in order to get well detailed shadows

 

-Objective 5

•HDR (3 photos)

•Adjusted Contrast

•Sharpened the photo

•Resized

 

-Objective 6

The HDR look gave the water a lot more detail, but not all the leaves were 100% in focus
