The Diamond in the Rock

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design

The elements of design demonstrated (describe the use):

Line - The horizontal line gives this picture a feeling of clam.

Texture - The texture in the sand looks to be grainy rough and warm while if you look at the metal and the glass they look soft hard and cold

 

Objective 4: Lighting

Type of lighting and why: The lighting in this picture is hard direct lighting. This is because i was outside around noon when the sun is at its highest/hardest.

 

Objective 5: Post Production (Post production was done on my computer at home using photoshop CS6)

Corrections/adjustments made:

Brightness/Contrast - I Added contrast to the sand to make it darker and to help the shadows stand out more

Vibrance - I used vibrance to bring some of the colour back into the sand making it a more orangish brown then the grayish brown that it was

Levels - I used the Levels to brighten up the whole picture

Other - I used the spot healing brush tool to fix some of the glare that showing up in the sand no where near the glass. It acted more as a distraction rather then adding to the picture. I also resized and added my signature once I thought the picture was done
