America Final Images


     For this constructed image revolving around America I used the United States Army Reserve flagpole in front of their Reading base. I edited the levels, altered the brightness and contrast and also increased the saturation to make the flag stand out. The Humvee was taken through a fence in their parking lot and I put a pile of mixed US currency bills overlaying the Humvee's exterior. I overlaid a collection of coins onto the lawn and bushes. Lastly I took Benjamin Franklin's face off of a $100 bill and put it in the sky.

Mood board Part IV: Execution

1.   Places:  I plan to capture various ponds, rivers, creeks, streams and lakes. I live on the Delaware River in PA, also there is Allentown Lake in NJ, there is the creek that runs through Angelica Park and lastly a small pond by school. I could also capture small puddles in the road.

2.   Textures: Textures that i plan to capture will vary from splash created by throwing a rock in the water, to ripples of rain drops. Also running water will make for a cool effect. and if i can capture rain fall that will be perfect.

3.   Objects:  The objects i intend on photographing will be various things from hoses to water bottles. An ordinary household hose will work well as illustrated in my mood board. Also water bottles and umbrellas both represent water and will work effectively in my project.

Mood board Part IV: Execution

1.   Places:    For the places aspect I plan to capture images at numerous locations. Within close proximity to my house is a memorial field that has the US Flag located on top of a hill and I feel as if I went at the right time I could capture the image with a stunning sunset in the background. Also I am traveling to DC this weekend and would like to capture images of the Vietnam War plaque. Also I will be driving around with my camera in case I find a place worth capturing

2.   Textures:    For the textures I would like to capture the seams on a baseball, a close up of US Currency. I also think green grass resembles freedom so that would be another texture worth capturing. All of these images can be captured within close proximity to Alvernia so I should not have much difficulty doing so.

3.   Objects:    In order to capture objects that accurately reflect America I believe military personnel is a must. Conveniently, there is the United States Army Reserve, located just next to Governor Mifflin School District and am hoping to be able to capture not only personnel but also perhaps their vehicles and equipment. Also, nothing says America like the US flag. Lastly the bald eagle represents America quite well however capturing an image of one may pose as a difficulty.
