Alphabet

Abi said that when you guys did this last year, you could screen capture, crop and then use the screen capture to post the picture. So...here...

In this project, it was really helpful to increase the contrast. I used a lot of cropping so that the picture was more obvious. I also had to transform the image so that I could turn it on its side or at an angle so that the letter would be right side up. Some of the pictures, I had to mess with the vibrance and saturation so that some of the colors wouldn't be so unrealistic.

Keely - Staged Vignette

For my staged vignettes I took a series of doll pictures with tea cups. 

I wanted to give my pictures and eeire effect or mood to them so I turned

down the saturation becasue the pictures already had a warm lighting to them.

I didn't really like this project very much. I guess I didn't like the subject matter.

And my blogger wasn't working so nina had to post this for me.

Staged Vinettes

I shot Legos for my staged vinettes. To edit them I changed the brightness and contrast. The white balance was also off because I shot inside so I adjusted that too. I croped some of my photos so the compostion of my photos would be better.

Strobe

I chose to do a dance series for my stobe, because it gave me a lot of opportunities to capture really interesting motion. I experiemented with the brightness/contrast, and played around the the saturation to see what combination would show off the stobe lighting the best. I thought adding a little color into the photos would add some interest and give a little more feeling and movement to the photographs. After I finally started seeing some results, I began really enjoying strobe lighting. I plan on shooting more in the future for fun, hopefully gaining some new experience and ideas from this project.

Choice

For this project, half of my pictures included macro shots so that I could include more texture. In the more scenic pictures, I increased contrast and bumped up the levels so that the pictures would be more vivid. Depending on the picture, my choice to apply the rule of thirds varied to better represent the subject I was photographing.

Staged Vignettes (:

 

My staged vinettes were pretty simple to make. I adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the photo more appealing. I used the spot healing tool to take away things that werent needed it the photo. Also, I cropped photos to make it a better composition. Lastly, I adjusted the saturation to boost up the colors.

STAR WARS

so these are my staged vinyets. I did it based of of lego star wars. I used my macro lens and zoomed in to get a lot of detail. after that I Cropped and edited them. i basicly just messed with the brightness/contrast, and the hue and saturation. I hope you like them :D

Choice

 

I kind of did two themes for my choice. One was kind of a fall colors theme, and the other was just photographing a boquet of roses for fun.

For my fall series, I played around a lot with adding multiple layers and changing the opacity of each. I used masking to make sure the colors had a good contrast.

For the rose pictures, I played with the brightness/contrast, I burned the rose a bit in the second picture, and played with the curves on each picture.

dumb imposibilitys

So this is my imposiblity's project, I didnt really enjoy this project as much as I  hoped to but oh well. In most of my photos I adjusted the brightness/contrast. I also used the selection tool to select things in and out of the photo. I used a layer mask on the last photo to get the eye balls to apper. Also messed with the hue and saturation.

Choice

These images all involve dramatic locations and a quote from a famous philosopher: Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau’s quotes are perfect for these images as all of them rely heavily on nature, and Thoreau was a romantic environmentalist. I used a radial blur on the first and last images to draw focus to the text, all of these pictures have an extremely long depth of field, giving more meaning to the famous words. The second picture was taken while I was riding my bike, a very natural experience. The motion blue of the image is mirrors in the mirror effect I incorporated into the text. These pictures encompass my environmental views in a meaningful way.

Ian's Choice Project

For my coice project I chose to shoot the 4 elements because that is my sketch book theme, and i find this subject interesting in photography. for many of these i had to crop to create more focus on the subject. i changed the contrast of some to give the color more depth. For one of the pictures i put together all the elements, i had to use the move tool and crop to have it flow, i changed the hue/saturation to correct the color.

4 Elements:

~Earth

~Water

~Wind

~Fire
