Week 10--Lonely Tree

I had taken this photo with a setting specifically for sunsets; with a larger aperture and a slower shutter speed. I didn't use a tripod, but I tried to hold the camera as steady as I possibly could. In photoshop, I increased the brightness of the picture and played around with the contrast. I loved the purple, blue and red color of the photograph, and in order to bring that out I increased the vibrancy. 

I liked the perspective of this photograph; I had taken it looking directly up at the tree, with my phone camera resting on the trunk of the tree. I loved the radial quality of the lines that branched out from the trunk like spokes on a wheel. In photoshop, I increased the contrast, decreased the contrast, and played around with the vibrance of the leaves and sky. 

I had purposefully placed the tree in the far left corner in order to emphasize the isolation of said tree; it was surrounded by mountains, clouds, and sky. Furthermore, the photograph followed the rule of thirds and made the picture compositionally more interesting. Using photoshop, I increased the levels to give the background a deeper saturation. I also played with the vibrance, contrast, and brightness to make the photo pop with color.
