P3: Depth of Field

Beginning of a Journey

Tags: woods,forest,trail
This a picture of a trail located in Pine Mountain, Ga. I chose this picture for my depth field to show the depth of the trail going into the woods. I think it is much clearer on the web page http://picasaweb.google.com/kbowen88/P3DepthOfField#5485238899131932226. I am thankful for my group members and their comments. I think this picture turned out to be better than my previous pictures.
My original picture was dark and the sign could not be read. Andy’s suggestion made me work with the editing software more and I finally discovered how that could be done. I also played with the contrast, saturation, and brightness to improve the photo. Overall, I was very pleased with the edits and love the final picture.
As a kindergarten teacher, I could use pictures like these to help in developing describing words or as a story starter. Kindergarten children could brainstorm words that describe the trail. They could take the words and then create a story. They could also use it as a story starter. This is a good way for teachers to see the experiences of their students in the woods.
