Photo story
- A trip to the grocery store

 In the first photo I took a picture of a grocery list in the macro setting. Once I got the picture I wanted I added a soft glow filter to give the writing more detail and make them more crisp.
In the second photo I took a landscape photo of the store. I wanted to get both foreground and background to add good composition. I also adjusted the contrast and color to bring out the flowers in the foreground as well as the color in the building.
In the third photo I cloned the barn in the field in the back ground out of the photo. Using the cloning tool I also add trees in areas to fill in the space that was left by the barn not being there anymore. Once that was complete I used the smudging tool to break up the harsh lines the cloning left behind.

In the fourth photo I tried to use the rule of thirds. By placing my family on the one third line I think it helps to move your eye around the photo.

My concept in this photo was to capture the complimentary colors that the apples have. The brightness of the green and red made a good contrast.

In this photo I was trying to capture a monochromatic image made up of the different green vegetables. I think the vegetables add many different varieties of color within the greens.

This picture I took with the idea of capturing a complimentary color scheme which I could adjust the coloring of to make better. It didn't really work like I had planned, but I think the color and light differences make the photo interesting.

In this photo I tried to use the concept of framing. By using the isle shelves as borders I think it draws you eyes down the isle and makes the photo composition more complete.
This trunk photo I tried to use the concept of framing and color. I cropped the photo so that the vehicle frames out the groceries. Then I adjusted the color of the bags so that they were more bright than they actually are.






 Finally, I took a photo of the completed list again in the macro setting. I then used the old photo filter to give it more appeal. I also adjusted the brightness of the filter to make the photo feel like the finale of the photo story.


Clone



The first picture is where I have cloned the chimney off of the house in the picture. Using the bushes and the sky I used those pieces to make the chimney disappear.

Portraits

I found the hardest part of doing a portrait is composition. Rather than the picture just being a picture of a person or people a portrait has to be balanced and correctly postioned.
