Favorite Photo From Lens Blog 2/25/15

Our groups favorite photo from this album was photo five.  It was our favorite because the solitary eagle looked majestic as he gazed out onto the football field.  The three photo composition rules used in this photo were natural framing, depth of field, and symmetry. The natural framing is caused by the sky, the stadium lights, and the bench.  The depth of field makes the eagle clear but the stands and the football players blurry.  The symmetry is caused by the eagle surrounded by the two equally distanced stadium lights.

3. We used masking to blend the pictures and used outer glow to add a glowing effect to the poster.
