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.

Wet plate collodion print  - Wet-collodion process, also called collodion process. In the process of making a wet collodion print you have to mix 2 types of chemicals then coat a glass plate with that mixture. That mixture consists of adding soluble iodide with a solution of collodion.

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.

Semester 1 Digital Portfolio & Emulation

Emulation:

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.    

Alaskan Sled Dogs

On our trip to Alaska we got chance to meet the Iditarod Champion by the name of Martin Buser. Who was born in Winterthur Switzerland, then moved to Alaska to train and race sled dogs.  Here are some of the amazing comrades:
