Embedded Files
This project expected us to take two images for each category of images, all of which are organized based on what property of art it may show. The categories, along with my examples are the following;
Framing: When an image put an emphasis on a subject by "framing" the subject using a border of some sort.
Leading Lines: An image that uses "lines" to guide the viewers eye toward the subject.
Repetition: An image with repeating patterns.
Shadows/Silhouettes: Images with shadows or a defined subject in contrast to its background; silhouettes.
Reflections: An image demonstrating light being reflected off another surface.
Worm's Eye View: A photo taken on the ground as if it is in the POV of a worm.
Bird's Eye View: A photo taken on a high place as if it is in the POV of a bird.
Motion: An image that shows a subject in motion, either by having said subject appear "frozen in time" or with blurs which shows something in motion.
Forced Perspective: An image that makes thing appear what they aren't by creating an illusion.
Rule of Thirds: An image that follows the "rule of thirds" concept, where the subject stays in the inner corner of a corner grid.
After that, we needed to create a couple of images where we combines multiple photos to create something crazy.
Framing
Framing
This image was created using Photoshop. To put more emphasis in the subject, I used iris blurs to maintain focus on the subject only. This helps frame the subject. With the use of color adjustments, I was able to give the image a simple but almost nostalgic look.
Leading Lines
Leading Lines
I like this image quite a bit because of the story behind taking it.
I found some tress and decided I could make a worm's eye view-type photo with them. I place my camera down and set up the timer. After starting the timer, my friend had tried ruining the picture by putting his hand above the camera. I desperately try to move his arm away but couldn't. My friend had apparently failed to ruin it, as the final image looked cool.
By messing with levels in Photoshop, I increased the contrast between the tree/hand and the sky, giving it a silhouette-type appearance. I wanted to bring out the brown more, so I adjusted the coloration using adjustments like saturation and color balance.
Repetition
Repetition
I like this image a lot. The white tree bark with stripes of coffee brown create an interesting look. I tried my best to make sure that every detail is visible by using sharpeners and adjusting clarity in Photoshop. With color adjustment tools, you can also bring out the brown a bit more. I have a fondness for repetition-type images so this one was satisfying for me to work with.
Silhouettes/Shadows
Silhouettes/Shadows
To make this image, I messed around with levels and contrasts in Photoshop in order to make a silhouette. I don't like this image in particular if I had to be honest. I dislike how some parts aren't silhouettes. It makes the image look quickly put together.
Reflections
Reflections
I took this photo when stumbling upon some water sitting on a chair. I am proud of the result. The scratches on the chair ended up giving the photo an icy look to it, which is pretty nice. In order to get the colors, I messed around with photoshop filters until I found a cool look to the image. Some trees can be seen in the reflection, which is a nice touch.
Worm's Eye View
Worm's Eye View
I enjoy taking photos of greenery and am proud with the result of this one. I thought that the image looked nice on its own and didn't edit much. However, using adjustments and filters in Photoshop, I tried to bring out the blue of the sky more than in the original. A regret I have with this image is that I didn't bother bringing out a brighter green color, which I think would have done the image justice. I also feel like I could have made it more obvious that it was meant to be a worm's eye view image.
