The photo above one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my house. It is a dark brown coffee table that has curved line running down it and sharp points. I was thinking of taking the photo down the middle of the photo but I had realized there is a skinny hole so the viewer would mainly see the floor underneath. The biggest challenge was definitely putting the filter on. It took the whole hour to just put the first one on but by the time it was my last I could do it in like 10 minutes. I also really like the fact that the blueprint photo even caught the shadow in front and made that portion darker. Finally the second photo has a really clean cut off since the background is blurred and the end of the table is somewhat reflexive and it looks incredibly smooth.

These two photos are of the stone blocks running all around a huge fireplace. When I saw this photo I knew I had to take up close photos to show the rigid texture of the walls. You see the texture much more on the second photo since the blueprint kind of hid the smaller lines. You can see how the other stone are different kinds of colors showing the variety in this spectacular piece of architecture. One small challenge I had was to just get the stones and not parts of the fireplace or logs and other things to stoke the fire. On the blueprint I like how the design resembles bricks with tiny little pebbles covering the surface.

This pair was taken inside my parent's bathroom. There bathroom was completely redone during August and they have some really nice pieces of architecture in there. I took the picture of the tub because it looks really minimalist like the faucet for it is really over the top. The water shoots under under the top portion and is looks really nice. I love the fact that the curtains had light piercing through it to give the image 100 percent natural light and you can even see that in the blueprint image. I really loved the angle of the left photo since it is taken in a way that the faucet is the key component and the other pieces are just supporting the subject. The lines o the tub and faucet are really nicely done and you can see the basic outline clearly. These components really enabled me to enjoy working on these images.

These pictures are of our entry area. We have a stairs on the left and all around it is this nice orange wall with yellow tints. I really like the left picture because it has a painting within it and in the filter it looks extremely abstract. I had a little trouble with lighting up the levels since I did want some dark parts on the wall with the shadows but I didn't want the left side to be dark as well. Getting the angle for the second picture was also difficult since I didn't want the railing in the way of the image. Overall, I really liked these sets of images and I think the blueprint filter worked perfectly for this type of image.

This last image was inside my dad's library and it is a picture of a five year old bright red couch that I always got to for reading or doing some small homework. My brother and I always would wrestle in this room and the couch seems like an artifact of those two memories. Th pillows also have really nice designs on them and it was really impressive how the filter captured the designs perfectly and then you can see the colors of them on the right. The right picture was also a close up to show the texture of the leather as well. The left picture took a while to get the perfect shot since I didn't want any background noise. That's why the couch is cut off on the ends so the other chairs and different color walls would show. I would say the picture on the left was also one of my favorites from this project and I'm glad that I took these two images to capture what it rally means to me.
