Easter Dinner

This year, my Easter dinner was at my grandmother's house, where we basically feasted. We were assigned to take pictures in "story-like" form. So I took pictures of the table, then the plates, etcetera. Then I opened the pictures in camera raw and edited them, adding transition slides and different shutters.

Peter Lik; favorite photos

This is a video of a few of my favorite photos by Peter Lik.


Out of Proportion

This project is called out of proportion. I had recently read the book Eragon, and throughout the book they talk about a dragon's superior size to humans, so i took the dragon depicted in the movie, and made it unproportional to the parakeet and hot air balloons, The balloons are also out of proportionate with the tea table, because that is a china dolls table.


CD cover for Photo portpholio


During this course we were assigned to make a digital portfolio, we were supposed to take some of our own fixed images and apply them to the template given to us. This is what my case will look like.
This is a video of my spring break easter dinner, i fixed the pictures in Camera-raw.

My personal choice project

Can you spot the difference in each of the pictures? The original is above or below the fixed picture.

Spring Fixes

The Spring pictures taken and fixed below were fixed by adding a mixer layer, and changing the red, green, and blue levels in the image. if we didn't want one part brither than the others, we inverted the mask layer that was automatically added to the picture and painted out what wasn't wanted.

Reflections

Scans

These scans are the same as previously mentioned. except i have added multiple filters and many different colors.










David Hockney

These a mock version of David Hockney. My friend Riley and I went cruisin' around school one day during class (with passes of course) to take pictures for this project. in order to produce this image we had to add many layers and a "clipping layer". The "Multiple into one" (the fourth picture from the top) was a bit more difficult. We had to go home, and find something to take thirty-five to forty pictures of one object at different angles. However it was pretty much the same concept.















Collage

This is a mock creation of Iuri Kothe's. He likes to use different images and create a mirror within the picture. I did the same with the mountain in the back ground. Some of the other examples of his work also showed vast differences in the weather and climate, such as a dry area mirrored by a wet area. So, in attempt to create my own form of this photo I gave the picture a back ground of fire and the outline of a hurricane as if it were portrayed on a weather map.

SUPER PONY!

These images purely imagination and photoshop. I used the pen tool to create odd lines and gave them an outer glow, a spiral effect, and different colors. The second picture is the self explanatory SUPER PONY!!! Adding different lines around the pony and adding text by using the same pen tool.

Falling Off the Page

Falling off the page required getting a picture that I had already taken, putting a background in and making an illusion of someone popping out of the picture. This particular picture required finding a trampoline picture without a different kid in it. I inserted it and Hannah into one photo and created a shadow by duplicating Hannah and coloring it black then creating a shadow. Then created a drop shadow on the trampoline picture and made the back ground lime green.

Hands At Work

This project was assigned over Christmas break, to achieve this project we had to change the color balance on the pictures. Apply a gradient map, and give each picture a "warm", "cool", and "emerald" layer to the picture.

Scanography

This project, we were to bring in objects that explained us in a sense. I chose Po from "Kung Fu Panda", a "license plate" from Bethany Beach, Maryland, a hippo (because I love hippos), a flashlight with lime green duck tape on the handle, and the leather bracelet my best friend sent me from North Carolina. We placed them on a scanner in the sequence that was desired, and scanned them into the computer.








portrait fixes

These images were used to practice using light and placing of the image to create more focused images. To complete this assignment we were supposed to use a process called "cross processing". Where it's the goal to create an odd film or coloring over the photo using the wrong chemicals. Also, we had to use a process called "Ink Sketch". We also had to edit a picture of our choice. I changed my hair color to lime green.















Sharpening Colors

In this project we were to "color sharpen" six different pictures to improve the quality. I used many different tools including the overlay tool and multiple photo changing filters. I enhanced the reds and orange in every picture.
