At first look this picture may seem a bit boring, but when you take a closer look you will soon discover its beauty and complexity. That's why I like it that much.
B. - This picture is an example of macro-photography. The tiny raindrops look like huge marbles. - The photographer used the mirror effect to capture the reflection of the flowers in the raindrops. - The plain background has got the same colour as the flowers.]]> 2022-05-03 14:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2168414565 Renée: a wild wolf https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172649792 A. I have chosen  this picture. Because a wolf is one of my favourite animals. I saw this picture and I liked it immediately. I also think it is very cool how the photographer took this picture, because the wolf looks perfectly to the side, which also makes the picture a bit more special. There is not much colour, but I like it that way!

B. This picture is  an example of macro photography, because you can see some tiny details like the colour of his eyes and whiskers. I love how the photographer placed the wolf in the foreground and used a plain background. So the wolf really stands out.]]> 2022-05-06 09:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172649792 Walid: Culture amid a Kyoto forest https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172649793 A: This picture captures the amazing culture of Japan in a compelling way. I chose this piece of art because I really like the contrast between the colors. Because of this technique the culture aspect in this picture is enhanced
, that makes this picture that more interesting.

B: This photograph is created using depth and distance and perhaps there's a little bit of HDR used in this photo because of the magic feeling it gives.]]> 2022-05-06 09:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172649793 Marie: The beauty of the streets of Korea https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172649809 A. The first thing I noticed about this picture was the beautiful color of the lights. This photo was taken on a rainy day. That is the reason why the neon lights come out so nicely. Something else I really like about this photo is the bright colors of the sunset. When you look at the photo, it gives you a warm feeling.

B. The photographer has placed an object in the foreground, making the background somewhat blurred. The photographer improved the composition of the photos a bit by making the lights brighter.  He probably modified the photos with image processing software.]]> 2022-05-06 09:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172649809 Martha: Frozen orchard https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172649927 A. I think it is a very nice picture because it is a beautiful flower. I also like the snow and ice. You see mostly white and I really like that about this photo.
B. This picture is an example of a photo with a plain background and it’s blurred. The flower is placed in the foreground. And you can see things that you normally can't see with the naked eye. It's beautiful!

I chose this picture, because I love animals. The first thing I thought about when I saw this, is 'AW how cute is this'. I think that was the sign that I had to pick this one.

B. This photo is an example of macro photography, because it is a close-up photo and you can see some details like his hair and teeth. The plain background is also used. This photo has a plain black background with the panda in the spotlight. I'm not sure, but I think the HDR-technique is also used. The dark colors make the photo stand out nicely. It looks just like a fake panda.

There are a lot of thing that I like about this picture. For example the stars. They give a very special effect to the picture, there are also a lot of details like the lights of the apartments… 

B: This photo is taken from a distance, the photographer actually created a sense of depth. The maker also used some macro photography by covering the sky with stars, maybe that’s the reason why you think this picture is surreal or fake. As you can see this photo features a lot of straight leading lines. All these techniques together make you think that you are actually falling down if you look at this photo. That’s why I choose for the title ‘Falling down’. It's really a nice picture!

B. in this image they used a plain background with the intention that you focus at the dog and less at the background, and i can tell you that they achieved this effect. You can also see that the effect placed the dog at the foreground and not the whole picture.]]> 2022-05-06 09:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172651336 Lotte: The little brown bears https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172651529 A Lotte: I like this picture a lot because the bears are extremely cute. it seems that he will ask the other bear to marry him, how adorable!
B In this picture, the bears are placed in the foreground because it's all about them. There is a blurred background and it's not a plain background since there are different shades of green to be seen]]> 2022-05-06 09:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172651529 thibeau: foggy mountains https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172651698 A. I chose this picture, because i love mountains and i think the fog makes it so much better, more mysterious. I didn't know that Ukraine was such a beautifull country. This picture is taken in Ukraine and as you all know, this spring for Ukrainians is filled with darkness, fear, losses, and uncertainty.It's impossible to describe what's going on in the hearts of millions of Ukranian people. 
B.I think a thechnique that is used here is HDR. Because of how surreal this picture look. To me the air looks to colourfull, the picture looks magic. It blurs my sense of the difference between reality and illusion.]]> 2022-05-06 09:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172651698 Vital: A Night in Japan https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172651801 A: I chose this picture because I think it’s very interesting how different countries look at night, for example in this one you can see that it is an alleyway lit only by a single light at the front door while in other countries there are lights everywhere or none at all. You can tell this picture is taken in Japan because you can see a couple of signs written in Japanese. 

B: This photographer used a couple of techniques such as leading lines, in this photo it is te alley who brings your attention to the back of the picture. There is also a little bit of reflection on the road caused by the lights. I think there is also a kind of depth in the photo, you look into the alley .

A. I think this picture is beautiful because the houses are colorful on a white blackground. I love it when it is winter en there is snow everywhere and that’s also in this picture. It also looks very realistic and that makes it beautiful too. I think it is a good photo.
B. I think that in this picture a leading line is used between the houses. There is not really a plain background but the background is in one colour which makes the houses stand out better. There is a great distance between the photographer and the photograph.

It feels like you are drawn into the mountains. I also like the change of colours at the end of the picture. This photo gives me a special sensation.

B: A depth has been created in this photo, that declares why I have the feelling that I described. The mountains have some zigzag lines and that creates a huge distance between the front of the picture and the end.
All this makes this picture special.]]> 2022-05-06 09:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172653738 Floor: The man in the rain. https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172654753 Floor: A: I chose this picture of a man walking in the rain. I like it very much because it’s just a normal picture. I mean who hasn’t seen a man walking in the rain with his umbrella? But this picture is surprisingly beautiful. It’s not a very complex picture and I think that’s what makes it so flabbergasting

B: This picture uses a blurred background, that’s why the person with the umbrella stands out. It’s a frequently used effect. The simple approach is usually the best. It’s  a really basic picture, but it’s still pretty. Thanks to the raindrops the photo is way more interesting. Without them it maybe would be a boring picture.

The end... mathizberth https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172661349 I love this image because of the colours, and the thought that the trucker has a beatiful vieuw. that makes me jealous.
In this image you can see the leading lines of the road. The fact that the truck is high in the sky creates a sense of depth. this photo shows us the differce between reality and illusion.]]> 2022-05-06 09:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172661349 Riham: Hamster https://padlet.com/eline_vercruysse/eaatvhhqr01c3602/wish/2172667241 a) I chose this picture because I love animals and you also can see what the hamster does in its daily life. The first time when I saw the picture I was immediately melted by the cuteness. It's not a complex photo and that's what I love about it.

b) This picture is an example of a photo with a plain background and it's blurred that's why the hamster stands out. The hamster is also placed in the foreground and you can also see the reflection of the hamster in the water. The photo was taken with a top-of-the-range professional camera. It is also an example of macro photography because you can see the details of the hamster.
