Digital Assignment #4: Proportions

This assignment was a fiarly simple one. We took photos thinking of how they would look with different proportions then the normal that you get from the camera. With the first photo I decided to crop it to the 6 x 17 because I wanted the focus to be Paige. I like how these proportions keep her framed and the center of attention. In the second picture I chose the proportions 16 x 9 to make the picture tall and less wide. The crop allowed the unecessary stuff on the outsides to be cut out and to have the puppies the center fo interest.

Digital Assignment # 3: Sepia

One day I went out and decided to have a photo shoot with my goats. I spent some time following them around and snaping photos of them playing. When I was figuring out what pictures I wanted to use for my sepia I saw this one and thought it would go well with the sepia tones. The wood and the goat seemed to go well with the tones.

When I was at Virginia Beach my sister, Paige, and I decided to take a bunch of random pictures of each other. I liked this picture when I converted it to sepia because the sand goes well with the sepia look.

Digital Assignment #2: HDR Merge

For this assignment I chose to go Downtown for a change of scenery from my house. For these photos we had to take muliple photos of the same scene at multiple exposures. Then we merged them through a program on the computer leaving us with a cool balance that allows us to see areas that were in shadow and those that were in the light. I then played aroud with the photos some enhancing color and changing things as I wanted.

Roll #4: Layers

Contact Sheet

Time:5 seconds

I took my layers roll at home. My goats were out running around and I thought that there actions could make some interestin photos with layers.

Kenai

Aperture: f/5.6

Time: 2 seconds

I snapped this photo because I thought all the stuff on the porch with my dog would make some good layers. I am happy that I was able to get this picture since she is not too fond of cameras.

Wilfred & Miriam

Aperture: f/5.6

Time: 1.5 seconds

The fact that my brother happened to be sitting on the back of the car at this time was great. With him there it adds another layer that wouldn't be there normally.

Roll 3: 3200 Film

Contact Sheet

Aperture: f/5.6

Time: 5 seconds

I was in Virginia Beach the weekend that I was shooting with the 3200 film. This worked out really well because the water goes really well with the grain of 3200 film.

The Race

Aperture:f/11

Time: 4 seconds + 2 seconds in the sky

Filter: #3

When I looked at my negatives I liked how this picture looked and decided to print it. I like the C- curve that the water and the buildings help create taking your attention to Jesse.

Walk at the Beach

Aperture: f/11

Time: 19 seconds

Filter: #4

I like this photo because even though there is a lot of sky the bottom of the picture goes well with the grainy look. I like the line of the water and buildings that goes off into the horizon.

Roll 2: Sepia Toning & Black and White on Fiber Paper

Contact Sheet

Aperture: f/5.6

Time: 5 seconds

While in Brazil this summer I took some film photos. I chose to use some of them to tone sepia and to print on fiber paper.

Aperture: f/5.6

Time: 2.5 seconds

As I traveled down the river in Brazil I enjoyed taking some scenery shots. When I saw this photo I thougt that it would tone sepia really well.

Aperture: f/5.6

Time: 5 seconds

This photo I took because I liked the look of the canoe and the different actions of the kids. I chose to tone it sepia because when there are lighter tones in the photo it tones better.

Aperture: f/8

Time: 8 seconds

With this photo I was trying to frame the boat in between my boats rails.

Aperture: f/8

Time: 4 seconds

I liked this photo because the kids were framed by the sides of the brick church and the edge of some benches.

Roll 1: Free Shoot

Contact Sheet

Aperture: f/5.6

Time: 5 seconds

I took all of these photos while I was in Tennesse helping my sister move into her college dorm.

Paige

Aperture: f/5.6

Time:67 seconds

I chose this photo of my sister because I liked how I could use the bench as a leading line to draw the attention to Paige.

Seeing Double

Aperture: f/5.6

Time:14 seconds

For this photo I decided to play around a little. There were these two drain pipes next to each other and I took two photos. I kept the camera in the same postion for both photos and then overlapped the negatives in the darkroom to have Paige show up in both sides of the drains.

Digital Assignment 1: Cubism

This photo I caught by chance. I was watching my goats and had my camera nearby. I knew I was shooting for the cubism assignment and thought their fence would be great for it. When they turned I grabed my camera because both of their faces were framed within the cubism aspect I was trying to use.
