In my second experimental set, my goal was to go out and find close up shots of various street objects and nature. I envisioned my set to have a rustic beauty to it, so I looked for older, rustic looking architecture and detailed and colorful pieces of nature that caught my eye. I was really satisfied with what I was able to find, and experimented with effects and editing to contort my photographs. I wanted to create a vintage feel to my photographs, so I used various filters to create that effect to my photos.

 Mosaic Tile
 Gritty

 Cross Process
 Craquelure and burn
 Mosaic Tile

 Brushstroke accented edges and daguerreotype
For this set, I mostly just tried to experiment with my hand at editing, finding out what it is I like and don't like. I experimented with both effects as well as text. I found that I really admired both and that both styles of editing brought a different type of depth and beauty to my photos. I tried to keep my texts short and simple because, I didn't want to focus away from the photograph. For my editing, I chose to keep the effects of my photos light and simple as well because I still wanted to be able to depict what the photo was. I really liked the effect on photoshop, mosaic tile because I thought it gave my photos more texture and more of an artistic feel. I think for my second set, I will focus more on mosaic tile as well as experimenting with new effects.
