Maggie Gottschalk's Crit2 Recipe




Device: Android Galaxy S2
Software version 4.1.2

Similar to my last critique, I took multiple photographs of each scene/object and then proceeded to choose which framing worked best.  Early in the week, I posted a photograph of this same truck that simply focused on its features.  I did not like the photo and I soon realized it was because it did not include the truck’s environment.  The truck was the main focus of my photograph; therefore, I strategically placed the truck in the corner of the photograph to allow for movement.  If the truck was placed in the center of the photo, then the viewer is immediately drawn to this object and the rest of the photograph remains unappreciated. 
I simply shot the photo using the standard camera on the Android.  For the majority of my photographs, I did not using any apps to edit the them because it would result in over saturation.  This photo, however, appeared a bit dull so I edited in the Camera360 app.  I chose an HDR effect called “primary” that simply brightened the colors a bit.   The other effects in this app seemed to oversaturate the photo.
