Laura Prince Crit 4 Recipe

iPhone 5C, OS 7.0.6
App: VSCO Cam

For this crit I tried to take photos of scenes that I would want to remember and that would have a lasting effect on me and hopefully the viewer of the photo as well. This photo was taken while I was visiting my family and we drove out to a lake to go canoeing. The brightness of the photo and the colors make me feel as though I am there still out on the lake with my sister. I made sure to get the whole scene of the lake in the picture - the trees, the water, and the weeds on the ground.
After taking the picture, I used the VSCO Cam app to make the photo brighter and to change the color of the highlights of the photo. I felt that changing the colors to make them look a little washed out but still keeping the clarity of the photo intact made an interesting look to the photo. On the one hand it looks like it could be an old picture, but it also looks modern because of how clear it is. Trying out different things with different apps was one of the best parts of this crit.
