Project 6

Project 6
In this project we experimented with 3 new different types of editing photos, Cyanotype, Gum Bichromate, and Wet Plates. Three very different and fun types of editing and making.   


Cyanotype: 
I used a water style type of brush and just started clicking around and dragging my brush around to make it look really cool. Then put a cool blue tint on it and I used a water splashing type of brush because we were on a field trip at the fountains in Portland.   


Cyanotype: 
I be a radial balance on this photo and made sure to make it look cool and forestry. I used a light brush to almost set the tone and give it a cloudy and spooky feel towards the photo. 


Gum Bichromate: 
I took this photo in Alaska with some of my team and I put some bright vibrant colors on it and you can sort of see the colors in it but I really like it because it looks fun and happy. 


 

Gum Bichromate w/o a tint: 
I was just messing around in class and didn't put a filter on it just to see what it would look like and i think it looks really fun and playful.   


Gum Bichromate:
I originally took this standing under a tree like the one above but it is a totally different picture with a totally different edits. I set a tint to this originally and added orange to the edges and also a light yellow over all of that.   


Wet Plate: 
I used 3 different textures 1 being a rust, 2 being a mossy filter, 3 being a crackle, I forgot to add a border to this picture but it still looks pretty cool.    


Wet Plate:
I took this on the patio of Lincoln High School and it was a picture of the trees and I had to capture it. The layers and textures give this old throwback look to this picture.

Project 5 Multiple Perspectives


HDR 1: The Old Into The New
Here in this HDR I took all 5 images changed the exposed value and put one main preset on it and it made this photo wicked cool.  


HDR 2: Views Of Scenery
In this HDR I changed the whole color/tint of the picture to a blue-ish purple-ish color to give it a cool feeling like if you were actually sanding looking towards this.  


HDR 3: Hawthorne Black & White
Here I had to add all 5 images into into photoshop and change the exposure value and it was originally bright then I put a preset on it to make it look black and white.  


Motion 1: Views
Here I darkened more of the layers to get a shadowy feeling and point of view of this cool sculpture.


Motion: Hawthorne In Color
I layered 3 images and messed with the whole picture color, changing it to have a red-ish tint and it made the bushes in front look 3-D. 


Panorama: Here I took about 7 different pictures then had to merge together and change it to a warm tint and mood.


Panorama: This was an originally a normal panorama.

Ice Fishing in Alaska


Here are some cool pictures of me catching fish and me and the team. I was the first one to catch a fish and it only took 3 try's! After that I caught 2 more! And there was a tradition of once you catch a fish you have to kiss it I guess. So as you can see my facial expression says it all.

Project 3 Balance and Contrast

Diptychs:






Diptych: 
Jonah in motion. I wanted to show movement and playing with this was really cool. Because it took forever to capture these. took out a lot of the saturation but made sure to make the Jonah's silhouette a littler darker which made it make the photo better.     

  
Diptych:
Different point of views. I wanted to make these photos look different so I took this then turned around and took another. I made sure to mess with the clarity of both photos. I mad one look very blurred and one look very clear and light.  


Diptych:
Up close and sharp. I messed with the exposure and contrast of both photos. the photo at right I brought the contrast down and the photo at left I brought the contrast and exposure way up. To make it look like the cactus are sort of moving. 

Triptychs:

Triptych:
No sleep. I messed with the contrast and also the movement made this photo look ten times cooler. I also made sure to to take the saturation way down to get this very cool tone in the photo but made sure to keep a little bit of vibrance in. As you can see it in his face and jackets. 


Triptych:
Express your self. The movement made by Libby in this makes the mood of the photo very fun and the picture almost looks black and white but the saturation of it makes it pop. 

Contrast In Scale:



Contrast In Scale:
Go Cards. I made sure to take down the saturation but made the reds come out and pop with some vibrance. This picture is really cool and since the background is black in white you can still get a little bit of color which makes this picture look so dope! 



Contrast In Scale:
Fall time, Is the Best Time. I messed with the darks and lights and I toned down more of the highlights in this to make sure the audiences attention is on the leaf and not the surrounding objects in the background.

Kaleidoscopes:



This is one chandler kaleidoscopes. I messed with the feathering and I didn't want to have the full feather on there so I dimmed it and it made it look really cool.


This is my second kaleidoscope and again I didn't want to have the full feathering affect so I just made it very dark to get a feeling of the light pulling you closer and how you are drawn to it.


This is my burger kaleidoscope. I wanted to experiment with cool pictures I took and it ended up looking really cool because the ketchup makes a face.


This is my outdoor kaleidoscope. I didn't have the feathering affect and again it still looks pretty cool. And I took the contrast way up in order to pull your attention to the colorful balls.
