These two photos were voted the best in my collection of photos. I think that the first one was the most successful so I will comment on that. I took this picture while at a stop light driving through Philadelphia. Taking pictures while driving is bad idea but I found a lot of subject matter and outside lighting that was particularly interesting, not all of my photos came out focused though. Thinking of "vintage" and "memory" as our theme for this critique I was particularly interested in the wear on buildings and architecture in Philadelphia. The blue trailer and the blue trash bins stood out for their color and I played around with using filters on my phone. I downloaded several applications yet I couldn't find one that didn't require more photo storage on my phone. I decided to create a new account through Instagram and use the filters offered there which also required a square cropping. Cropping these photos actually helped me a lot in creating nice framing and composition and the filters offered gave me endless possibilities of tones and colors for the same image which was interesting. After exploring each filter, I ultimately chose the most enhancing of contrast for both of these photos which intensified their color and made the image more successful.
