I found taking photos in the studio was a blast. It was a fun atmosphere and the groups I was in both times were really into the experience. It was different being able to control the situation with lighting & poses and being able to direct things. I wish we had a little more time, I was just getting used to it. For the first shoot we basically just moved the lamps around for lighting, but by the second shoot we got to switch backgrounds to a black more dramatic style which I preferred and also we switched the lighting to accentuate that style by casting shadows to make it look more dramatic and it changed Ahmed's friendly appearance. I mostly fooled around with the zoom instead of wide angle and I also switched shutter speed to decrease blur.

Motion Research Ass 5

Alright so I used a shutter speed of "05 for the fast motion pictures except the studio pictures were around 1/6. For the frozen in place pictures, inside the metro I used a light shutter speed of about 1/30 but when I photographed my dog outside I was able to turn it up to around 1/100 to 1/150 because it did not darken as much as the indoor image. I'm guessing this is because inside the shutter can only take in a certain amount of light while the shutter is still open whereas when I was outside there was an abundance of more natural light. I find the metro image that is brighter is very interesting because the way it is framed makes the metro look like a toy train :P As for the doggy shots, his name is Shadow, I just called him to go outside and played with him while snapping pictures. I especially like the one where he is about to catch his ball, his ears are funny.

Eye Change

From Fun with Photoshop Ass 4

Went into quick mask mode, used paintbrush to select eye, then went to select menu, inversed. Then created another layer and went to color balance and customized eye to light blue.

Scary Television

From Fun with Photoshop Ass 4

Used the burn tool for making the eye black. The used lasso and selected area and added noise. Then used craquelure by selecting face with lasso. Then used dark strokes to darken area between cracks and noise.

Glow

From Fun with Photoshop Ass 4

Went to image and changed curves input and output and lowered for brighter glow effect.

Supernatural

From Fun with Photoshop Ass 4

Played with hue and saturation to make yellow, and then deepened shadows around picture. Then I put down the output in the levels option under image, finally used dodge tool around eye so the yellow glow would lighten against the darkness.


I like the eye change one the most because I finally figured out how to change eye color and given more time and a better picture I could have made a cooler eye color change, but I find the supernatural picture the coolest because it seems the most "professional"

I'm Feeling Lucky



Tint & Highlights without keeping original color




Sharpened Image times 3 :P



And Finally Sepia, Sharpen with some fill light and graduated tinted to a dark shade with a lighter feather:




My favorite is the last one just because it's a contrast between light and dark. I also like the 3 times sharpened image, it looks like an image you see in action movie when the glass gets super defined in slow motion.

Assignment 2

My collection of everyday things turned unique.

Irving Penn

Irving Penn believed that anything could be art and his still-life images are proof of that. He took photographs from fruit to cigarette butts and vases or dishes and made them visually artistic. What makes these photographs interesting is how he arranges everyday things into different formations and simple backgrounds and he makes them unique.

Edward Burtynsky

He is famous for taking photographs of landscapes affected by industrialization. His scenes depict the effect humans have on nature and how we have torn up once beautiful land to build cities and buildings of our own. These are interestingly because we experience opposite emotions when viewing his work, disgust at the industrialized deformed landscape and yet astonishment at the beauty of the complex images.
