I took all of my pictures at the Martinez marina. I went with some of my cousins, so in order to connect I walked behind them and we made our way farther down towards the water. When we got there we sat on a bench for awhile and watched and listened, before going on an adventure. I lagged behind and took some pictures of them also. I decided to go around 6ish because I hoped to get a lighting that would make the pictures more interesting. 
For this one I was over by the lake/pond thing next to the parking lot. I To edit this picture I gave it a yellowish tint and made the shadows darker. I played around with the exposure so that the light on the wings looked better. After I moved it to photoshop and used the burn tool to darken where the sun reflects on the water so that it wouldn't be quite so white and less distracting. The feeling that I got and hoped to convey in this picture was sound. The area and water was very quiet and peaceful like.
I took this picture near the pond also around 6:00. I gave this a yellow tint in lightroom and used the direct positive filter. I used the dodge tool in light room to lighten the bench a little bit so that it had a more recognizable shape. I also used the dodge tool to lighten the bottom areas around the bench. I wanted the sun on the bottle to be the main focus so I upped the saturation so that the sun had more of an effect on the picture.
I took this along the trail at the marina towards the water. I edited in lightroom by adding more contrast to it because it gave the bridge more detail and made the greens in the background stand out. I slightly upped the saturation to make the color stand out.
I took this picture on a bridge down closer towards the water. I wanted the bridge to be more recognizable so I lightened the bottom left corner and used a preset that made the sun a rounder shape and lightened the photo. I thought this photo showed texture and touch.
