Jordan Otto Crit 2 Color/Passion Recipe

 

Critique 2 Recipe #14 POW

 

To capture this image, I used the IPhone 5.  Version 7.1.2.  I recently downloaded a new application called camera + (version 5.2).  My strategy for taking this photo was not very difficult.  I stood high up on a rock so that the ground was not taking up much of the photograph, there were boulders all around so absolutely eliminating them was impossible without cropping the photo.   Primarily, I wanted to focus on the light which I thought created emphasis on the beautiful fall colors of the leaves.  First, I enhanced the clarity of the photo.  Next, I experimented with the temperature of the photo.  I was satisfied with the photo after these simple steps.  I did not use any filter for this photograph.  I thought that the color of the leaves was perfect how they appeared and I didn't want to take away from lighting of the sun.
