5.04



















Easter is...eatin' Peeps!

5.03
























the original.




























brightened up a little. trying to get the brick to pop a little more. and contrast with the blue more. the clouds look a little weird. 





























unsuccessful because the sky washed out to an ugly color. the building looks okay though.





























my favorite of the group. though the brick could be defined a little better and the sky could be a better color. but its close.

5.02

















the original. a wall in Georgetown.




















the color is a little too intense. but i like the way the light has become more prominent. 






















the color is more intense then the original, but not too intense. and the reflected light is showing up nicely. the space feels brighter then it actually was. 

5.01
























the original.



























trying to get the color to pop a little more.




























desaturated. just to see if its actually a good picture compositionally.

4.04
















the original.

4.03
















the original. an interesting look at the library.



















played with the levels to really get the colors to be richer.






















straightened the picture to make it look less awkward. also cropped the right side, cropping out some of the more awkward looking books. rather focusing on the greens, golds, and reds in the picture.

4.02

















a short field of focus. capturing the dead leaves of the tree.




















a longer field of focus. getting the wall and the mechanical units.

4.01

















blurred action. low shutter speed.




















stop action. high shutter speed.

3.04

















the original. just a fun picture of interesting colors in the landscape.





















pushing up the intensity of the colors. making the picture read a little better.




















choosing the porta potty as my subject and really making that pop against the background. as well as pushing the tractor into the background by bringing the intensity of the yellow down, and letting it wash out a bit.

3.03


















a pretty picture of Coronado before sunset. its a little dark and the tones too muted for my taste.
























the blues and yellows are really played up in this version. making the sun brighter and more intense, as well as its reflection in the bay.

3.02























the original. 




























lighting is key here. making the sunlight from behind the tree really pop and come out, especially on the ground.

3.01


















the original. a good picture. but a little washed out.























cropped and the lighting is enhanced a bit. 
i really like how the light is yellow and the light bulbs are more prominent.
