Inside Out Project Idea

So this photo is going to be submitted to the Inside Out Project. Let me know what you think, what edits should happen, etc...

Video Crafts are Yummy

Peeling Tree

This is an assignment from my photo class. 

We were supposed to take a picture and then edit it in Camera Raw using Adobe Bridge. The edited one looks a little over exposed, but I do like the warmth it gained. In addition, I think I need to bring back some of the blue in the sky.  

This is my original:

 

This is my edited version:

Edit Round two:

Let me know what you think!

22 Actions Assignment:

I started with action #13, taking my camera into a dark room, this was an epic fail. The lesson was learned, I do not know my camera very well. I promptly moved on to action #19, making a list of 20 Places I would like to shoot this year.

1. Devils Punch Bowl- Newport, Oregon

2. Hobo camps along the Willamette River- Hwy 22

3. San Juan Island Sculpture Park

4. Detroit, Oregon- the town, not the lake

5. Abandoned house outside Amity, OR- if you’re coming from Rickreall it’s right before you enter Amity.

6. Graffiti Garages- Tacoma, WA

7. Roads End- Lincoln City, OR

8. Valley of Giants- somewhere between Lincoln City and Falls City, OR

9. Yard of that Antique Store- Hawthorne St, Forest Grove

As with the previous action I attempted I did not get very far. However, I did accomplish action #4, finding a favorite photo.

By Jeff Luker

I like this picture for a couple different reasons. In doing this search for a favorite photo I realized that I like pictures of people or pictures with people in them better than most other photographs. I connect better with the photo if there is a person in it. I really like that the woman in the shot has goose bumps and is clearly cold but it is still such a warm picture with the sunlight. The ability to capture that paradox is really special, it makes the moment feel authentic to me. There is also this feeling of intimacy about it that I haven’t quite figured out how to explain yet. 

Family Sketch Book

This picture is from a blog called 'Illustration Friday Blog.' This post was about a guy who started a family sketch book. The sketch book is consistently available for everyone in the family to use and they all add and contribute to it. I just thought this was a super cool idea, I think my house-mates an I should get one!! 

Confusion

I'm still confused on the f 11 stuff, it's the aperture right? But what does that mean??
Thank you!

Happy Halloween: Rhythmic Pumpkin

So this one was my favorite subject wise. I like the texture of the pumpkin and it's stump with the wall of green behind it.  I also really like the repetition of the lighter orange spots on the humps of the pumpkin. But I did not choose to work with it because of it's blurriness. 

This was my second favorite out f the batch. Again the texture of the pumpkin against the line of the house is really nice. Since it seemed to be the least fuzzy, i decided to work with it. 

This is what I ended up with. I cropped it and saturated some things, and played around with the colors.  I didn't really know what I was doing. But, I think it looks okay in the end. Compositionally I achieved what I wanted, contrast between the textures of the house and the pumpkin. 

my life is missing these:

Goal in taking Intro to Digital Imaging and favorite photographer

In taking Intro to Digital media, I hope to gain a more in depth understanding of Photoshop and other CS5 programs.  I’m not the best at taking photos and I don’t have a very nice camera, so hopefully this class will help my mediocre photos look somewhat presentable. I’m also getting into web and graphic design and hope to possibly do that as a career, I think this class will help with those aspirations.


I just discovered this photographer Marina Richter.  Her photos look like she’s taken one or two design elements/ideas, focused on them, and then captured those elements in a photo. They are so focused in intent, while making the viewer feel so overwhelmed.  It’s awesome. I think her work will help me in this class because of how inspired I am feeling looking at it.
