Favorite Photo LENS blog paragraph 2/25/15

Football Game picture #5

This picture is our favorite because the solitary eagle looks majestic standing way from the crowd. The rules that are displayed in this picture Natural Framing, Depth of Field, and Symmetry. The sky and the stadium lights are the reason that this picture show natural framing. The clearness of the eagle and the blurriness of the stands give a feel of depth of field in this picture. The mascot cutting the picture in half with football players on both sides of the picture makes the picture look symmetrical.

Arnold Newman



This picture is my favorite because it seems like a very simple picture but it is much more than that. In this picture Arnold Newman uses the rule of thirds with the barbershop pole. It is of to the left side of the picture. I also like this picture because of the window and how it looks blackened.

This poster is better because this poster looks much more professional then the last one.

We changed the poster by using masking to blend the picture and used the outer glow tool to add a glowing effect.
