Digi Final

I will not be using all of these in the presentation. I will just use the better ones.

Chapter 6: Technical Creative

This is a panorama built of three individual photos in photoshop. The camera was on a tripod when I took the photos.

Chapter 6: Self Reflective Influential

Where I'm From

I am from the internet

from Spotify and youtube

I am from the little house

Old and Red

It feels like home

I am from the garden in my backyard,

the redwood tree in my front yard

Tall and rigid

I’m from Thanksgiving dinner and Saturday breakfast

from Biz and Charles

I’m from driving fast and being on time

From Santa Clause and The easter bunny

I’m from sleeping in on Sundays,

I’m from California,

Corn on the Cob and Ribs.

From the summers water skiing behind the boat

the road trips to Oregon.

Family Photos are stored on the server in the closet.

I am from freedom

Chapter 6: Thematic

I did two versions of branching out. The first is literally branches branching out, 

The second one is branching out in a figurative way. 

Here, we put my father in makeup represent branching out. 

Here the photo is again, with a tighter crop. 

Final Project Part 1

For my final project, I would like to take photographs using HDR, High Dynamic Range. I will take 3 pictures each at a different exposure and merge them together in Photoshop to make a final HDR image. I want to photograph HDRs because I like the effect that HDR gives my photos, like the higher contrast. It brings out elements of a scene that you can’t see when you look at it with your naked eye.

I plan on photographing cityscapes and landscapes using HDR and edited in Photoshop. I am aiming for 10 images turned in digitally on my blog with a short artist statement for each. I will also make a simple 5 minute powerpoint for presenting my project to the class, which will include all of the images.

The HDR assignment from earlier in the year has influenced me to continue to experiment with HDR. I will also find inspiration for HDR on flickr and other photo sharing websites.

Here are some HDR photographs that I took earlier in the year:

Portrait Project

Outdoor Portraits:

The day I took these outdoor portraits, it was cloudy with a little rain. Very even light, the perfect even lighting for portraits.

Studio Portraits:

I've never really taken portraits with studio lighting. I put the lights off to the sides and aimed them at Dylan's sides. I think these turned out pretty well. 

Rembrandt Portraits:

This is my favorite type of light, I like how one side of the face is lit up and the other side is darker. I took these photos in the library by the big windows. 

Double Exposure
