I used the coffee shop vintage effect, but i changed the settings a little. I took these images while i was on a bike ride in the hills above Los Gatos.

Chapter 3: Influential

Above is two shots by Michael Kenna. I like the simplicity of these photos and how the fog and the reflection make the photos seem very smooth. Below is my photo. I try to use the same elements as Kenna like the fog and the reflection. 

Chapter 3: Self Reflective

I chose these images for my self reflection because I think these are two of my best shots yet. In the top image i am working on making a distinct focal point (the people). On the bottom image, I worked on composition and color (the shadows under the bridge).

I chose the color red as the color that represents me because it is my favorite color. I also like the lines on buildings. The complimentary color of red is green. The photo below is Sophie Mortaz's photo.

Top: My Sunset and clouds photo. In my photo i tried to reproduce the colors. I think i did an ok job in doing so.
Bottom: Les' photo of clouds over the ocean (flikr). I like the contrast of the clouds and the contrast.

Chapter 2: Self Reflective

Top: Casual Snapshot. I took this picture last weekend up in the mountains when my friend and i were riding dirt bikes.

Bottom: Artistic Image. I took this image from fort point under the golden gate bridge. Some aspects that i like about this photo are the composition of the support pillar on one side and the water on the other side and the contrast.

Chapter 1: Influential

For my influential section, I am showcasing Ansel Adams. I like his work because he uses mostly black and white and his photos show great contrast. He believed that a well done black and white image can be more colorful than a color image, I agree.
