This was the auto picture for the adjective Macabre. Macabre is sort of a dark, mysterious drama, and shadows with lighting are definitely part of that.

I chose black and white as the effect here because I thought it would be a good example. It would contrast the subject with the darkness of the background.

This was the auto picture for the adjective Roasting. I chose this because the head on a fire idea was really linked to the concept, and I think it worked out. 



I chose the Vivid effect because it made the colors of the fire, which originally I thought had been muted, more vibrant, enhancing the effect of the picture.

I chose to use Sepia because it made both bodies, which originally looked different, more similar, which made the effect more congruous. 

This was the auto picture for the adjective Four. I chose this because Four is not really an adjective, and I liked the way it turned out, in a picture where the four arms are the center of attention, at least for me.


I chose Cyanotype because I think wealth has sort of a surreal quality and the effect emphasizes this.

This was the auto picture for the adjective Wealthy. I chose it because material items like boots and phones are associated with money, so a person with these would be wealthy.


I chose black and white to make the curtain seem more a part of the picture, and the other distracting colors less of one.

This is the auto picture for the adjective Private. I chose this because privacy is like loneliness, something I thought this emphasized.

This was the auto picture for the adjective Purring. I chose it because only cats purr, and I had one that was doing it.


I chose the Pastel because it made the room look sunnier, something that I thought went along with the comfy, happy aspect associated with a cat purring.

This is the auto picture for the adjective Wanting. I chose this because my dog is very good at begging, so it would be a good fit.

I chose to use the Vivid effect because it made the dog's fur stand out from the background, and gave color to the eyes, something previously absent.

This is the auto picture for the adjective Huge. I chose this because the contrast between the army men and the cat accentuated the sense of size.

I chose black and white because it got rid of the colored rug at the top, and matched the scene with the cat's fur.

This is the auto picture for the adjective Talented. I chose this because the trophies represented a talent at sports, which corresponded with the adjective.


I chose to use Pastel for this picture because it accentuated the gold color of the trophies, which I liked.
This was the auto picture for the adjective Hard to Find. I chose this because I thought it would be a bit funny to do this, and the sign makes the picture associated with the adjective.


I chose Cyanotype for this picture because it made the text easier to read, while black and white destroyed it, and the teddy bear easier to see.

White Balance


Outdoor, Cloudy Day
 Normal: I liked this normal because it shows the similarities in color between the foreground and the background, while keeping the foreground most interesting with that moss splotch.

Fluorescent



Cloudy




Daylight: This Daylight was nice because it emphasizes the foreground best, color-wise.

Tungsten: I thought this was the best example of tungsten because it brought out the cool colors of the tree, mixing with the sky, which gave the picture a surreal feeling.

Daylight


Cloudy
Fluorescent: This was a good fluorescent, in how it made the colors much brighter, something less obvious in other photos.


Flash
                                                      Shade: This was a good shade because it shows the diverse range of colors, less bright.

Outdoor, Sunny Day, in the Shade

Auto: I thought this auto was the best auto because it clarified the subjects, the soldiers, without compromising the other elements of the picture and their colors.
