Project 4:Contrast and Balance

Asymmetrical Contrast in Texture and Value



This is a photo of the black building in downtown Portland, some overhanging branches, and the signature Oregon overcast sky. The solid smooth nature of the black building contrasts with the rough but dainty branches as well as the light empty sky.


Asymmetrical Contrast in Value and Content



This bright red Harley caught my attention while on a walk because of its bright red color and that it was parked in front of a stone wall covered in English ivy. To make the color distinction more obvious I unsaturated all but the red seen in the bike. I also deepened the blacks used a lower exposure in order to bring out the texture of the backdrop.

This photo shows the last berry remaining on one of the dogwoods in my garden. I did hardly any editing to this photo because I liked the colors best in their natural state and simplicity.
