Filter Final

This is the final image with filter 2, aperture f8, 5 seconds, and mounted. I really like the emotion in this photograph, it seems calm, with radiant light coming through the trees. It's how I feel when I'm surrounded by nature. It's quite serene.

Filter Tests

From my first roll of film, I chose this image of blurred close up leaves with a focused background. The original was a little too dull, so then I experimented with the zero filter and worked my way up to the number 4 filter. For each one I used aperture f8 for 5 seconds. My favorite was the number two filter, a good balamce of  white and black, with a variety of grays. I learned from this activity that the higher the number filter, the more black and white will show up, taking away the grays.
