This project was all about utilizing grids and taking advantage of colors to make cool photographs. I really enjoyed this project because I actually learned a lot of technical skills in Adobe Lightroom.

| For this photo, I saw how the bamboo in the original picture lined perfectly straight up. I knew that if I rotated the a copy of the photo, it would look pretty cool. I also edited the temperature and used my own preset to create a cool colors feel. (Cool colors) |
 |
| When I was editing this picture I knew I wanted to make a mirror this time, unlike the last picture. On the last one, I rotated the picture, but on this I flipped it vertically to make it mirror itself. I knew that if I combined different types of green, such as the grass green and they lighter green on the tennis ball, I could create a variety of colors, yet continue with the monochrome theme.(Monochrome) |
 |
| For my warm colors photo I knew that I could combine different buildings that have orange/yellow colors to them. I threw in the stop sign because I wanted it to also have a variety in colors. I tried to separate similar photos but also put some near each other so there would be some contrast. (Warm colors) |
 |
| After going to the rose gardens I knew that I could make a good looking color scheme of red/orange and green. I tried to make large amounts of contrast so that the two colors would be more noticeable. (Complementary) |
 |
| For this photo I mirrored my pictures so that it would have an abstract feel. After that I put the brick lining down the middle because I felt that it matched the valves. I also turned the temperature down to give it a cool colors feeling. |
 |
| Originally I thought this would work for warm colors, but then I realized that I could make a good monochrome if I made squares out of the bridge. I think the way that it's really just gray and blue makes the colors stand out. |
 |
| For this photo I decided to turn the clarity down, crop it, and turn the shadows up to make an older feeling. I wanted it to feel like it was from the 1920s or something so I came up with this. I think that it has a strong mood to it. |
