For this project I really wanted to try to take the "extended seeing" prompt to show things most of us probably see everyday from a new and unique perspective. A few days after the start of the assignment I was sitting in the back of my apartment building with some friends and I decided to try t oget some shots done for class. I took this photo using the panoramic feature on the preinstalled camera application on my iPhone. When doing to he panorama rather than shopping it straight across like you would usually do I used a curve to make the building and fence appear distorted. Then uploaded the picture into the snapseed application.
The first thing I did to process this photo was crop it. Because I did not follow the straight line I had to crop off some of the edges that had produced black edges. From there I really wanted to give the photo this rich tone to it. I increased the contrast slightly and made it more saturated. This really brought the colors to a better level. The last thing I really wanted to do was make sure the picture had a lot of good detail since I felt there was a lot to see. I sharpened the photo first, which really made the houses at the other end of the street clear. This also made the fence pop. I thought this was particularly important to do since I think the fence is the major force that ushers the viewer's eye from one end of the photo to the other. Then I increased the grain in the photo a little. This really brought out the texture that I liked on the side of the building.
I am really proud of this photo. I think it is an appealing shot of something that when you look at it in real life comes off as rather uninteresting.
