Evolution Week 4: April Showers 2




Again for this week I was focusing more on the gloomier and wetter side of spring and in this set of pictures I focused more on how it affected the sky and the landscape. The first picture I took was of my driveway. I really like this shot because it really gives a perspective on the weather where I am as well as how it affects multiple plants. I took it very linearly because I thought it was most powerful that way and I boosted the color to enhance the overall effect of the rain. The second picture I took was of the tops of some trees and the sky. It didn’t work out quite as I wanted it to because it’s really hard to get good pictures of the sky but I did my best. I wanted to show the gloominess of the day and the grey look to the sky.  I used the fade effect to enhance that effect and the picture turned out a lot better than I ever hoped for. The third picture I took was of my back barn. For some reason I just think back there has a lot of good textures and I think after it rains it enhances that feel. So I decided to do that, however I didn’t just want to do a linear shot so I made it look like the camera was peeking at this scene from nearby plant.
