I take this photo when I went to the wine tasting trip there were many antient beautiful car there . I adjust manually using light room adjust the clarity and sharpness increase exporsure +0.50 , adjust the saturation +15 . It is difficult for me adjust in colour so that i decided to work on black and white photo of narrow depth rule of third.
I took this leading lines photo during a trip to Gilroy, on the way to a restaurant. The arch of light along the sidewalk creates a strong focal point and enhances the composition.

During our field trip to a wine tasting in Gilroy, I captured a natural window light photo of my coworker. The soft, natural light streaming through the window beautifully illuminated their features, adding depth and warmth to the composition. It was a great opportunity to practice using natural light in portrait photography.
I took this photo in a dark room using flash and added artificial light for better illumination. I further enhanced it using Lightroom, adjusting the settings to achieve the desired effect. I set the exposure to -18, contrast to +11, highlights to +5, shadows to +5, whites to +15, blacks to -5, tint to +30, and temperature to 6250K. The editing process was time-consuming and challenging, but it allowed me to develop new skills. Through this experience, I gained valuable insights into photo adjustments and lighting techniques, making it a rewarding part of my learning this quarter.
This photo was taken in a dark room using flash and additional artificial light. I incorporated fill flash and converted the image to black and white to enhance contrast and highlight tonal details. In Lightroom, I refined the image further by adjusting the exposure to -27, contrast to +7, temperature to 5001K, and tint to +10. These adjustments helped achieve a polished and visually striking result.
This photograph was taken in a dark room using artificial lighting to create a dramatic and focused effect. To enhance the composition, I made several adjustments in Lightroom, including exposure set to -0.9, contrast to +10, highlights to -29, shadows to +20, whites to +11, and blacks to -11. I also adjusted the temperature to +5, saturation to +5, texture to +15, clarity to +21, and dehaze to +10. Additionally, I refined the composition by cropping the image. These edits helped bring out the details and achieve the intended visual impact.
Reflection
I am happy with my final photography project. Working on this photography project was enjoyable and rewarding. I can able to take some of the beautiful moments while going to wine tasting trolley with my coworker. I am really enjoying it I can able to contribute photo taking in the field trip. I took the natural light from window; in the previous assignment I did not grasp the concept that's cause me did not receive full credit. In this final project assignment, I can able to correct my errors and which gave me a chance to reflect on everything I learned in this course, like photography basics, exposure, and light, portrait, narrow depth of field. It also helped me take the best photos I could, edit them well, and carefully organize my photo.
I am taking blurred movement is challenging. Editing the photo was really challenging, making adjustment in the lightroom application foreground, middle ground and background is challenging. but I learned new skills during this final project. It was a wonderful experience to improve my photography and editing techniques.
Black-and-white photography allowed me to focus on the interplay of highlights and shadows without the complexity of color grading, enhancing the visual impact of the composition. My biggest challenge was completing 10 photos for my final project. I chose to convert some of the photos to black and white because I wanted to emphasize the tonal contrast between darkness and light, especially in night scenes. After completing the night photography assignment, I started working on my final project. It feels like a better fit for me and is much more enjoyable to practice. Exploring the town and nearby areas to find the perfect spots to photograph makes me excited.
My biggest challenge was deciding what kind of photo I should use for my final exam, and it is difficult for me to choose that I wanted it to express and, I wanted to comply with the instruction. Overall, I achieved the style I aimed for at the start of the project. I’m happy with the result and believe it’s the best photography work I’ve done this quarter. This final project was so much fun to work on! I’m glad I had the chance to create photos I’m proud of. I’m excited to use the skills and knowledge I’ve gained from this course in my future photography projects and continue improving my work.
