This whole project was really fun! I love the city, I love photography, and I love Lightroom and this project brought it all together. I loved how it challenged me to search the city and experience it more. Kind of like always having a best friend but something comes along and challenges to look deeper and get to know your best friend even more. That's how this project affected me. I'm really happy the weather was super nice the two weekends I went out to Portland. I also go to experience a sunset in the city. I've seen sunsets at the beach and in my backyard, but when I got to witness the sunset in Portland and actually had the chance to capture it, it was beautiful.
My process was fairly natural and easy. I hated the fact that I kept looking at my paper to see what photos I needed to take so I just decided to be spontaneous with it. I took a lot of photos and just clicked away at anything that caught my eye. When I edited I noticed that I didn't want to bring out as much color as when I was doing the Nature Assignment. This project had me want to bring out most of the emotions from the city rather than the colors. Cropping was a main factor and straightening was too. Straightening was a little harder for this assignment because I found out the bridges aren't straight! Everything is pretty much on its own level. I really liked this assignment and I hope to improve even more!

At this photo I watched as the sun set and I found out it takes ALOT of patience. It's really nice and I had quite a few options to choose from.

Location: In between SW Hathorne Bridge & Eastbank Esplanade Portland, OR

I wanted to use this as an Urban picture because I wouldn't have noticed that graffiti any time before. I feel that sometimes we need to take the time to just look around.

I really liked what this said. I don't really understand it completely but I'm sure the meaning behind must be quite inspiring.

I liked this photo because theres a lot of things happening and there could be symbolism behind it too. It was something quick I saw and wouldn't have normally notice.

I choose to use this photo because I took it from a different angle that I took my other candids from. I also liked how the colors blended well together.

This is one of my favorite candids just because it looks so natural. It represents everyday Portland.

I really liked this photo because I felt I mostly got everything in focus. I love how I have the two different bridges in the picture as well and it contrasts the different structures.
ISO: 400 Aperture: f/20 Shutter Speed: 1/30 Sec

I really loved this photo as well because it shows a lot of different buildings.It shows the variety of strcutures and colors that are used in Portland.

The different colors in the photos really catch my eye. I also liked the different shapes that are present here.
ISO: 200 Aperture: f/6.3 Shutter Speed: 1/500 Sec
Location: Marquam Bridge Portland, OR & Eastbank Esplanade

I really liked this photo because I tried to get a different view on the bridge. Most of the time we just look at the outside of the bridge but we never notice how its structured inside. I wanted to capture this and see how the bridge really is in and outside.

Wednesday Summary
March 13th, 2013
Today in photography I got to edit my Portland photos! I started off choosing which cityscape pictures I wanted to use and began cropping and straightening some as well. I chose this one picture for cityscape and I experimented on what "feel" I wanted the photo to have. I moved the exposure but I felt that it didn't do much. Instead, I moved the shadows and highlights and that made a bigger difference to the photo than exposure did. I also feel that clarity helped a lot as well. For my candids I still have a lot of decisions to make! I have a lot of candids and I'm deciding which I want to use. That's how I spent my Wednesday in photography class.
