Light Metering

In this photograph we were working with metering. In the first photo on the left I tried to make the light from the computer stand out more. In order to have this work, I had to get really close to the computer and hold the shutter button half way and pull back from the object. See how the computer is brighter than the person.... In the second picture I tried to make the person stand out and everything else become darker. Using metering it allowed me to make her (light) skin stand out really bright. I had to get really close to her skin and push hold the button down half way and pull back. It is important to know how to use this because if ever you are in a dark area and you need something to stand out or make brighter it will allow you to do this.

HYBRID

An exercise borrowed from “I’ve Got a Human in My Throat” by Chris Johnson.
In preparation for our PERSONAL METAPHOR project we brushed up our skills combining objects together. Using layer masks and the clone stamp we blended this dog and bird together.

chocolate frog

We made a chocolate frog in honor of Valentines Day. For this project we turned a real frog into a fake chocolate frog. In this assignment we used photoshop. This was a very interesting and fun project to do, it was funny to see how they all turned out.

Shadows and Reflections

Today we worked on two different Photoshop exercises. We learned how to make shadows and reflections. The purpose of the lesson today was to work on improving our photoshop. With reflections and shadows it make the picture look more realistic.

Program Covers

This is the program cover I did for graduation.

Aged Photo

In this project we were suppost to take one of our frame pictures and create an old looking photo. On Photoshop we messed around with the contrast and levels. We tried to make the photo looked aged.

Balance and Frames

In this project we were given a frame. We had to use it in our composition. We also had to be in our photo, but not in the center. It was to be in black and white, and we needed to create a sense of visual balance.

We were supposts to be creative and try to have balance and no balance. It was every hard! This picture also had to work with contrast. Do you think this has balance? Well the shadow gives this picture balance even though it might not look like it does.

Random Object

In this assinment we all got assigned a random object. We were suppost to take a picture useing the three "Cs". One thing my class mates said needed to be better was how the picture came out blury. They also said that it might of been better in black and white. I agree 100%!

my favorite project last semester

I picked this project because it tells a lot about the meanings in my life. We had to do a project on what gives are life meaning, and one of the things that gave my life meaning was family. this picture was my favorite because it captors a caring moment. This picture was ment to be in black and white, and i think this was ment to be a B&W moment.
