For my chosen POW my strategy was simple--to capture the moment, as raw as it was. As I mentioned in my self-evaluation, this photo is a great representation of how my life is right now and come May and graduation, it'll never be this way again. I think that my POW really encompasses this view.
While I was sitting on the roof, I just looked around me and to my left were my two best friends, to my right was an abandoned backyard, and right in front of me where people's homes. It was so unique and immediately I thought it was the perfect view for a panoramic photo. The dynamics of these people being in the picture and where my life is today were truly represented in this photo. This is another way to view extended sight. Aside from the visuals in this picture, there is more to is that I can see.
That was my simple strategy to capture the moment. As far as editing the photo goes, I wanted to brighten it a bit. I used the saturation took to add bold color and enhance the environment. I didn't touch the contrast or exposure, simply just saturation. The top left of my photo was a bit distorted due to shaky hands while taking a steady photo, so that's why I chose to put a black border around the edge--it covered up the distortion and it (literally) framed the moment. The way it looked worked and I felt that messing with any more effects would take away from the true, real moment I was in at that moment.
