Landscape texture edits.

I've been experimenting with texture combination in photoshop a lot. I was inspired by Cole Rise's photos (links in previous blog post). I find his images really stunning. Here is one test with texture combination. The first one is a color combination, the second one I turned it to black and white, and the third one is a combination of the color and black and white. I think I like this one best.

Diptychs, triptychs, and quadtychs.

I made these using an app on my iPod touch. They have interesting look, maybe I'll try some with pictures that were taken with a real camera.

40 and 1/3 (a landscape study)

The idea of this project is to use a 40 mm lens and take photos that are 1/3 land, 2/3 sky. Landscapes, cityscapes, etc. I got this idea from a photographer's work I really like, named Cole Rise. Here are his photos from this project (his is 50 mm and 2/3):

So a full roll of film (digital) = 36 images at least. Due by Thursday, October 20th.

Project: Review

So these are some of the pictures from the review project. I think that it was good for me to review what I learned in the previous two photo classes, but I rushed taking the pictures. Also since this project is a compilation of a lot of different projects I was switching things around way too much. I didn't get to focus on any one thing and I don't feel like I improved because of that. But, overall, it was nice to be able to remember everything I know already. Onto the next project!

A photograph is made, not taken.

Project one: Review

This project is a review of everything I have learned from my photo 1 and photo 2 classes. The project is a compilation of every photo project thus far. The goal is to take 3-6 pictures using the themes of previous projects. So at the end of the project I will have reviewed all of the things I have learned so far.

Projects (in order):

- One thing

- Portraits

- Types of light

- Rule of thirds/symetry/leading lines

- Self portraits

- Multiple exposures

- Blur

- Architecture

- "It's not too late to..."

- Landscapes

- Still life

- Identity (self portraits)

So that's 36-72 photos total for all of the projects. Due date: Friday, the 30th.
