Bethany Mitch's Excursion Photos

These were my materials I used: colored shot glasses, ziplock baggie, plastic wrap, a brown-tinted scotch tape, and a cardboard cut out with a circle through it. 

Figure 1: New Lanark
This shot was created using the ziplock baggie. As I put it over the lens I had to make it very tight for the picture to come in clearly, but after managing that I centered the waterwheel within the shot while also capturing the building in the background along with the blue sky to add contrast.

This shot was also created using the ziplock baggie. It is a picture of the grass growing within the river under the bridge. Again, I had to tighten the baggie a lot to get it to focus just right. 

Figure 3: Our first location on the excursion
This shot was captured with the ziplock baggie. I really like the soft focus on this shot and the contrast between the sky, building, and grass. 

Figure4: New Lanark
For this shot I used the plastic wrap. It was a lot more thing than the ziplock baggie, so it was easier to focus.
There is a hard focus, but then it trickles off into a soft focus for things in the distance.
