Assignment 2 Check-In

 So with this string of shoots, I took advantage of the weather and dragged my roommate out for some photo shoots. (The first shoot of which was her idea). As I already have my four chosen pictures, I thought to share with you all some honorable mentions. 

This first photo was her bright idea of doing an ironic 'snow- swimsuit photo shoot.' at this point in time i had not preset my cameras settings and ended up with a few of these blurry bloopers. this one was my favorite. I edited the photo by heavily increasing the contrast and then adding saturation in hue saturation to the red and blue in her outfit, or lack there of, to make her blurry figure stand out more.







This second photo was created by a specific back-lit set up that was inspired by an article on line, of which I will be linking in the final post for this assignment. I edited this photo by first increasing the lightness of the overall photo. I then went into the photo and burned the bright areas of her chest to keep any distractions from her ghostly movement. Finally, I added magenta to the shadows of the photo and yellow to the highlights.  This, I believe, gave her a more ghostly appearance. This photo did not make the top favorites simply because it was very bright in the chest area, making it a very contrasting photo.

This photo was suppose to represent field of motion. HOWEVER, I do realize the field seems more deep than shallow. my goal was to originally focus on the cabinet before you and get the beautiful decaying walls in the background. when it came time to edit this, I also tried to exaggerate that by increasing the opposing colors (orange and cyan) already present in the photo. While this is one of my favorite photos from this old house, I do not believe it shows depth of field in the way I was hoping for.






This photo, on the other hand, demonstrates a shallow depth of field. showing a crisp tree branch blocking my view Madison. I edited this photo by adding a red saturation on the jacket and a green shadow in color balance. however, this is actually my least favorite photo because it still feels unfinished. This photo I would love to add into the final cut so if anyone has some suggestions for me to try out on this photo feel free to comment them in.






Overall my favorite photo is the second or third photo even though they are the outtakes. I wouldn't be surprised if i found a way to doll them up before Tuesday.

    I like what is happening with these. I enjoy the humor of the first one, but the motion blur feels more like the camera moved rather than the person. The second photograph would be great for this assignment. I agree with your assessment of the third photograph. The effects of DOF just aren't very pronounced. You could zoom out to a wide angle lens and then move in much closer to the cabinet. That might give you the effect you were looking for. The fourth image is also working well. You mention it not feeling "finished". The only suggestion I might make is to increase the warmth of the image in general. Your camera doesn't seem to have adjusted enough for the blue outdoor light. Shift your midtones and highlights slightly toward yellow and/or red, and that might do the trick.

Assignment 4: Special Edits.

  With this first photo, I took a prism and placed it in front of the lens, creating a reflection effect.    With this photo, I  placed a pink camera lens filter on, then used my hand to create shadows on her face. In this photo, I took my phone and used it as a mirror to reflect her face.   This photo is a triple exposure that we learned in class, I do wish I could have made it more clear, however Madison could not stay still enough. Here we took the light and used light writing to create a figure toughing Madison's hand This photo was used as light writing. we kept it vertical to balance the wide angle. With this photo we tried normal light writing, as you can see it did not turn out. This last photo turned out to be my favorite. It started out as normal light writing to give Madison a halo. However we forgot to add a flash of light in the end and I think it turned out better than it would have if I had remembered. In the end, I ended up doing very little...

Assignment 2: 3D

 For my Assignment I've decided to upload these photos below as it shows my experience through learning 3D editing. This first photo is probably my least favorite. i love the colors in my suncatchers but because of the background the do not stand out as much as i would like.  This next photo is one of my favorites. The clock in the background creates a double image, which does not bode well for the 3D effect. However, i believe it creates and interesting image that really caught my eye. I am undecided on this particular image. while the effect is there, I do not see this as a particularly interesting image to look at.  This last photo in my favorite. The image was not very colorful to begin with, but desaturating it makes it stand out so much more.
