Holly Ferguson : Crit 4 Vintage/Memory

Hi everyone! For this first picture I wanted to share how I shot is my POW. I shot this picture with my Galaxy S5 smartphone and used the vintage filter on the app Snap Seed. For this picture I focused on incorporating the sky and the road equally with the houses and cars meeting in the middle. I also took this picture on a day that was not totally sunny to allow for a drearier look to make the picture look more vintage and old. I really like the way this picture turned out, but the filter really helped to make the picture look more vintage.

This is the next picture I want to go into technique detail about. This picture I was trying to capture memory more than vintage, yet the stuff in this cabinet is very old and is considered vintage. The main focus of the picture is the cabinet and a little of the table and chair to the side. This is all intentional to express memories of eating dinners around that table and always seeing the cabinet and all the little things inside. Looking at this picture brings back memories of being with my family and enjoying a meal together.
