I had a phenomenal time working on this fence themed photo series! Whenever I’m driving, I take notice of different types of fences, so I chose to highlight a them during this excursion. I drove out in the country a little bit at first, then found some in the city. Fences can be dull, so I chose to make these photos stand out by playing with the angle and focus of each photo.
The clouds were gorgeous, but the light was so bright that the sky was blown out. I used a narrow aperture to capture the detail behind the fence, and took this photo at three exposures to bracket them together. Using Photoshop, I adjusted the saturation of the sky and the sharpness of the wooden post so the details would stand out.
I borrowed my friend’s Nikon D90 for some photos to play with its lenses. The zoom lens could capture this chain link fence with great bokeh, while focusing sharply on the bent link. In Photoshop I adjusted the levels and saturation.
I wanted to capture the different colors on the backside of this wooden picket fence. I was able to get it from a lower angle instead of straight on. The blue sky in the background contrasts with the orange/red hue of the wood really nicely, and I used Photoshop to warm the colors.
The sky was bright white when I was out shooting this photo. I used bracketing to capture different exposures and blend it so the background is warm but the post is bright. Then I adjusted the levels and hues in Photoshop.
I wanted to get a different perspective of this fence, so I got down low and up close. By laying on the ground, I got these rocks in the foreground to create depth in the photo. With the up-close rocks and background trees both blurred, there’s a nice amount of focus on the fence. I straightened the angle and brightened the photo in Photoshop.
