Winter 4

This week was our final week before our portfolio. I tried to refine exactly how I edited the pictures through a more structured black and white using the Levels and Colors sections on PicMonkey. I strived for some more weird and unusual objects I found outside. Not all of my pictures are like that, with the mysterious vibe and all, but I do have some that follow that theme.

Winter 3

This week I continued my urban themed photography. I stuck with the black and white because I feel like it represents what I'm trying to relay in my image. I think these images are showing a perspective on the city, with a bit of a mysterious vibe. I am excited to continue this project and stick with the theme that I have created here this week.

Winter 2

This week we continued our Winter Projects. I decided to keep a little bit of experimentation, but I tried to stick to one theme. I chose to use a more sharp approach to each picture, and I used B&W again. Next week I plan to stick with black and white and a more mysterious approach. I keep my original inspiration of urban life for my pictures no matter what I am experimenting with.

Winter 1

This week we started our Winter project. I chose to do an urban style of photograph, which I didn't necessarily get from one photographer, rather a combination of multiple. I played around with editing a little bit more this week, and I plan to narrow down the style I like for next week. You can see I will have some differing borders on my images, and that's because I wanted to see all of my options for designs that I like, and then choose from there.

Slo Mo 2

This week we took pictures with slow shutter speed (again) in order to create a mysterious effect as light flows across the image. I held the button to take the picture and then jiggled the camera around to create this semi-blurry and flow-like photos.  The really cool effect that I noticed is often it looks light the light is literally pouring out of the light source. I also played around a little bit with some effects in PicMonkey.

Double Exposure

*I was absent for most of the week we did double exposure, so that's why I only have 3*

This week we worked with blending two images together on PicMonkey. Most of the work we did was in class on an online editing software because we didn't need any new photos, we could just use old photos that we already had, and double expose them. Something that I found that worked well for me, as seen in the first two images, is using an image in black and white, and one in color. This creates an awesome effect like no other. Another technique that I found helpful was using two images that contrast in many ways, like shape, texture, or even size.
