MOPA

For this MOPA assignment I decided to show the viewer how twin arent always exactly alike. Here me and my twin sister are shown doing our own thing. Adina is dressed in a cute little dressed while doing one of her favorite passtimes, painting her nails. I am just chilling and relaxing while playing my gameboy(one huge differene between me and adina is I like video games and she doesnt) while eating a piece of chicken. I love chicken or any kind of meat unlike adina who is a vegetarian! I did not really like doing this photo shoot, I mean I think it is cool that I got the oppourutnity to show people about myself but I didnt like how I didnt get to take the photo. My older sister took the photo and although I tried giving her directions and helping her out the photo just didnt turn out as well as I thought it should. I had to do some major photoshopping with cropping and just making this photo looking better then the other. The photo is really off center which is a bit bothersome but it is the straightest one my sister took so I had to work with it and with the magic of photoshop I think it turned out just fine.

The Landscape I Liked

One of the biggest things I liked about this photo is the lack of color. I think it is great that the photographer was able to create such a beautiful picture using almost no color. I love how the light is coming up from behind the two main rocks, it looks very majestic. The shadows in the photo make the picture interesting as well. Another thing that attracted me to this photo was that I think its cool how the rocks look like lam chops. It is fun to interpret what we think the rocks are in shape of. I like the shadows in the corner of the picture making the rocks in the photo pop up making the overall scenery look circular. I really like how this landscape photo is different from most others that I have seen. Typically, I see landscape photos of water or the beach or a farm which is overdone. A landscape picture of rocks is different and interesting since it is new and not something we see everyday.

Landscape Assignment

I really enjoyed this landscape assignment. This assignment gave me the oppourtunity to see beauty in places around my house that I had not seen before. For this assignment I basically drove around my neighrboorhood(ocean beach/ point loma) and stopped at local parks and took pictures of anything I thought could possibly be an intresting or just simply good picture. I really enjoyed taking the picture of the playground because I loved the colors. After taking the pictures I then photoshopped them. The one I spent the most time photoshopping was the playground one. The reason why it took me so long is because I really wanted to bring out the colors to give the picture a really bright, happy, playful feel. The photo with the statue I just brightened the photo up and brought out the bluness of the sky and the water, it was meant to look more natural then the Playground photo. Finally the picture with the bridge was also made to look more naturaul then the playground one, all I did was adjest the brightness. I am quite pleased on how my photos turned out. ALthough I live right next to the beach I didnt want to take just a typical landscpae photo of the waves with the pier in the background or the cliffs at sunset, I wanted to take pictures with water in them but water not being the main focus or done in a cliche way.
