Part 3: Colors

Part 4: Execution

Places: I know that i want to take pictures of power lines in a forest near my house. I also want to go to open fields where there are trees. A great day to take these pictures would be when it is cloudy out so i can play around with the clouds and if i get lucky I could take picture of lightening..but i doubt it.

Textures: I think I can take my pictures at my house because I have loads of dirt, mud, and water but I'll  probably just drive around Birdsboro and just near my house. I live in the country so I think I should be able to find good thunderstorm textures..hopefully haha.

Objects: I know there is a really cool tree that looks like it was struck by lightening in Nolde Forest. There are also various other trees that I saw there that I think is pretty cool. Another idea of mine is to have a friend pose in a raincoat/rainboots and somehow work that into my pictures. Pretty much with the texture assignment I will just drive around and see what catches my eye.

Industrial crazy pictures


This picture was at first very plain. The building itself was just white. For this picture i made the picture look more dark by changing the brightness and the contrast. Then I took two of my textures which were brick and rust and I placed them on different parts of the building. Then I took an old car from my objects and placed it into the picture. The other object I chose was a fire pit. I just simply put it infront of the building. Next I changed someof the walls colors to a murky green and a tan. Before those walls were just a boring metal color. 

 Before I edited the picture it was just a simple train track with cars. For the two colors I changed the one railroad car to green. It was black originally. The next color i used was red and I painted the sky to make it have a murky reddish color. For the textures I added a texture to the rail road tracks but changed the opacity. I also added a wood texture to the under half of the railroad car. For my objects I used a horse and changed the color of it just a smidgen. Then to make it look kind of weird and bizzare i made the horses reflection. The other object that i used was a barrel. Its like a ghostly barrel because its faded.
