To focus on the eyes I used an aperture of f/2 when I was shooting. This gives me a very short depth of field so while the eyes are focused on, the rest of the image gets blurry drawing the focus to the eyes. I wanted to make them interesting so I grabbed one of my scarves and had my mom wrap it around her head. The scarf accentuates the eyes even more. I then decided to try an animal eye. I chose a white horse because the white of his fur would contrast nicely with his dark eye.

Digital Assignment #15: Impressionism

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An impressionistic style can be achieved in different ways. I experimented with reflections and water on a piece of glass, although this look can also be achieved through motion blur. Both of the above pictures I took through a piece of glass that was sprayed with water. The water on the glass gives the image the softer, more blurry look that can be associated with watercolor paintings. I think that the simplicity of these photos helps enhance the effect of the impressionistic style.
