Composite Assingment

Composite 
Depth of Field and Focus
For this assignment I combined multiply pictures to create one cohesive composited image. For the pictures of the my sister she was usually the center focus of the image with a slightly blurred background. Most of these pictures had a medium to shallow depth of field. However the main background picture and the pictures I toke in the field I used a deep depth of field. In these landscape pictures everything came out clear. For the flowery skyline I toke those pictures really close up. All of these microscopic photos came out very sharp. So those pictures had a deep depth of field as well. The entire collage, with all the pictures together, came out sharp and in focus.  


Exposure
Exposure is the amount of light that has exposed the images sensor. All of my pictures were taken on an auto mode exposure. Overall I like the exposure that my pictures have. I think that they have a good balance of light and depth of field. Next time I think I will try and change the exposure to create a different picture and make my pictures better.

Lighting 
The lighting in my pictures was different throughout. On all my pictures I used natural lighting and was mostly back lighting. Since I toke some of my pictures out side at the beginning of the day those ones were exposed to a lot more light then some of the ones I toke in the field. In the field pictures their were more clouds blocking the natural light. This gave a darker shadow to those pictures rather then the ones I toke earlier. To even the balance of light I had to play around in photo shop to darken and lighten different pictures. Overall I like how the lighting was in my picture.  

Lines
I tried to use lines to the best of my ability when taking these pictures. My main line in the background picture would be the horizon line.This the line splitting the area of the trees and the field with the sky. I think this line improves the image because it helps focus on the center image of the girl. However, it also helps the reader find the flowers in the sky.

Composition
When taking the pictures on the flowers, the composition was filling the frame with the image, since these images were microscopic. Most of the images separately that I toke of the girl were all centered. However in the background image I used the rule of thirds putting the girl on the right side of the image. Looking at the composite as a whole I like how i used rule of thirds by putting all the girls leading up on the left side. I find it interesting that they seem to go back farther each time. Almost as if the girl is walking back wards towards the field.
