Project 6

Multiple Image Techniques

Panorama

I took this photograph of downtown Portland from a friend's porch. It was a nice sunny day so I was able to capture both Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood in the photo. I overlapped the photos I took and merged them together using Lightroom and Photoshop. I edited the top one so the city had more of a happy feel to it because of the blue skies and bright colors. I edited the bottom one to show the other side of Portland which is grey and rainy. It has a grey, almost purple tint to it. 

Multiple Exposure

For this multiple exposure I used a picture I took on a hike to punchbowl over the weekend when it was sunny and I used a picture of a fence looking over the city. I liked it in black and white because the colors were difficult to edit so they complemented each other. I chose to put these together because of the contrast of the nature with the city. 

I blended these together and I liked how they both were places in downtown Portland. I added the red tint to connect the two photos better.

I used old photos for this multiple exposure because I liked the way it has the Portland sign in the background which is normally lit up and fancy, however in the other photo I merged, it shows a homeless man. 

For this multiple exposure I blended a photo of my friend standing on a bridge and a photo of the city. I liked how she was just kind of looking over the railing and I edited it to have ind of a peaceful mood. 

High Dynamic Range

For this photo I blended three photos together and in the first one, the leaf was really under exposed and the second one was overexposed. I enhanced the colors because I really liked the different green colors in the photo.

Balance and Contrasts

Diptychs

Fences

I connected these two photos so they lined up and brought out the green in the left hand photo and the pink in the other in order to show a contrast in colors. The two photos are cohesive when put together despite being two different photos.

The Differences in Humans

I took these two photos on the same wall to make it cohesive, but chose these subjects to demonstrate opposites.

Fall

 These two photos show the colors of fall. One is a fill the frame technique of bark, and the other is zoomed out of the same tree. The colors of the bark are transferred over onto the bark.

Triptychs

Cora

I took these photos on a bridge after my friend Cora and I had finished shopping and getting coffee. She is always smiling and so I tried to show her in just three photos. 

Jessie the Dog

I took these while getting my Christmas tree. Jessie, a dog at the farm, followed my family begging us to play fetch. From left to right, this triptych is a cycle beginning when Jessie prepared for one of us to throw it, to her bringing it back, then back to her begging again.

Project 3

Grids and Mood

For this project, I experimented with making different grids and used a variety of different colors.  I edited images and altered the colors and put the photographs together in a pattern in order to create unique grids. Also, I tested out different editing techniques to portray specific moods in certain photographs. I worked with warm colors, cool colors, complementing colors and monochromes.

Demonstration of Mood

For this photo, I increased the background's exposure to accentuate the cat's face. I edited the cat's colors to a darker red and brown to make the photograph more intense and to demonstrate an ominous mood. I think the way the cat is looking down at camera furthers the mood of the photograph.

Extra photograph edited to demonstrate mood

I took this photograph downtown of these two homeless artists on the street. This picture is powerful in demonstrating the tragic issue of homelessness. I edited the colors to make them dark and almost monochrome and took the saturation down. The idea of homelessness is an upsetting subject to many and I think the concept of the picture along with the gloomy, grey colors creates a dismal mood.

Colors

 Photo by Mikko Lagerstedt. 

This photograph is dark and has an eerie feel to it. I think that the fog helps portray this mood along with the emptiness of the road. The photographer edited this photo to be monochrome to further the ghostly feel.
