P2: Landscape Pictures






Busy Branch

Tags: water, rocks, branch
This is my photo of a branch that I discovered on an outing with my family. We were traveling down a road called Seven Branches Road in Harris County. I was focused on trying to find a landscape picture where I could use my editing skills. This picture seemed to have a lot of color variation that I could play with.
My original picture did not show the color that I wished to see in the final product. I used the saturation and hue tool to enhance the color. I also used the light and shadow tool to lighten up the darkness in the trees. I was able to achieve the redness in the rocks that I saw that day. Overall, I am very pleased with the final results.
As a kindergarten teacher, I could use pictures like these to describe things. Kindergarten children could come up with describing words for the picture. They could also use it as a story starter. It could also be used as a picture for sequencing. I could take a couple of different shots and the children could put them order to tell a story. There are many ways that this and other photos could be used.
