DSC_0501-Edit.jpg

Objective: Out and About, HDR Photo

 

Camera mode: I was in Aperture Priority to be able to choose my aperture without having to care about the shutter speed.

ISO: I chose ISO 100 in order to reduce the shutter speed.

Focal Length: My picture has been taken in 28mm because I wanted the whole shed and the grey sky.

Aperture: My aperture was f/29 in order to have as much details as possible in focus.

Shutter Speed: My shutter speed was set automatically to 1/10.

 

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design

Texture: With this HDR Picture, I wanted to highlight the grass, the wood of the shed and the clouds.

Colour: I darkened the highlights and brightened the shadows in order to highlight the orange of the wood, the green of the grass and the white of the gravel.

Space: There is no negative space because I wanted a lot of details in this HDR.

Balance: Even though, the shed is on the left of the picture. The house is directed to the right.

Emphasis: The house is placed on the third line of the Rule of Third.

 

Objective 4: Lighting

I took this picture outside and waited until the sun had a good position so the shadow is not directly on the shed but towards the side of it.

 

Objective 5: Post Production

I took seven pictures with seven different exposures (-3.0 to +3.0) merge them to HDR with Photoshop. Then I changed the highlights, shadows, contrast, saturation, vibrance, clarity, sharpening and post-cropping vignetting in Lightroom 4.
