Dozen Photo Challenge

I believe that the image taken above is the most successful image I took for the Dozen Photo Challenge Project. This image is focused on color using the technique of complimentary colors. I used the colors of blue and orange which are opposite of each other on the color wheel. I like how dynamic this image is using high contrast. I was drawn to the slightly subtle and neutral tones of this image found in the natural environment. The sky and water were very blue, reflecting blue hues on the railing as well. The grass was appearing more orange due to it being winter and the sunset reflecting.

I feel the most challenging aspect of this assignment was finding and shooting at least four techniques from each category. I also found it difficult being winter, because I take the best photos in the summer and spring. With the cold and gloomy weather recently, I didn't feel as proud of some of my images and resorted to taking a few indoors. However, I like how this project challenged me to be a little more creative.

In the future, I will create stronger images by challenging myself even more to try new techniques. I am quite new to photography and most of these techniques, so it will take some time to develop more images with creativity. I will also work on my lighting shot in images through the time of day by planning according to the sun and weather, so I can get stronger images.
