Water droplets

These are some pictures I took at home.  I used a wine glass, water and red food dye to create a wine type looking beverage.  I chose red because I thought it looked the coolest. I used a fast shutter speed to capture the water dripping as best I can!

Light meter

This is a picture of Madison.  This picture was taken in day light, therefore we used a reflector, but the less bright side of it, to not give off too much of a bright reflection. This was a convenient spot for taking pictures as the tree located behind Madison allowed for us to capture pictures without having the sun ruin the images. 

Painting with light

This is an image of painting with light.  In this photo, you see me holding a balloon in my hand and a yellow light around my figure.  We used a very slow shutter speed to capture the image.  We've tried a lot of things and took numerous amount of images with different patterns and shapes around the group members but I especially like this picture because I like how the outlining looks as well as the balloon that was drawn with light! It's interesting!

Self-portrait

I chose this picture for my self-portrait.  I used photoshop to convert the picture to gray scale.  It gives subtlety to the image and doesn't allow for any 'distractions'.  I feel my exterior is black and white and what's on the inside is full of color, so I chose to demonstrate this by using a black and white photograph.

Kodachrome Rap/project

Lyrics:
Kodachrome is a film invented in 1935.
It used still photography and cinematography as its drive.
But it's processing requirements were very complex,
So we say goodbye to its use of capturing our subjects.

The rap was a good experience, it was really fun! Creating the video was as well.

Portraits

 This photograph definitely reveals the more serious side to him.  In his eyes we can see determination and strive.  Although he is overall a layed back person, his personality is sometimes serious.  This photo says that when he wants to achieve and accomplish something, that he is undoubtedly going to do it.

 This photograph clearly shows the fun, happy and outgoing side of him.  It shows that he is sometimes careless and likes to let loose.  He is easy-going and content.  Although the background looks kind of grey in these pictures, we chose a black background.  A black background was chosen to highlight the subject of the picture which was this young man; indicating that the background is not important.

Panorama

An image of a world that has been modified into a circular image of the world.  In the background it is all sky and in the middle we see a grey hole with tress and buildings and street lamps attached.  The building looks similar to Dawson college.  I like this picture because it's very cool.  It is cool because we do not see images like this one on the regular basis.  It is amazing to look at it and think that it is an ordinary picture that has been turned into something that does not exist.

Famous portrait photographer: Yousuf Karsh

This is a photo of Audrey Hepburn taken by the photographer Yousuf Karsh. I like this image because it's very elegant and captures her side profile well. I also like the fact that many of Karshs photographs are used with black and white and a gray scale.

This is another one of Yousuf Karsh's work.  This is a photo of Ernest Hermingway taken in 1957.  I like this photo because Ernest is not looking directly into the cameras lense.  He is looking to the side which gives a more realistic look.

Portrait

Outdoor portrait using a reflector.

Photogram

This is one of four photograms I have created.  I used three rings and 2 little starts, as well as a table cloth.

Dawson composition (August 29)

Balance

Converging lines

Rule of thirds

Converging Lines

I like this imagine because it's original.  I have not seen many pictures that have been taken of the ground and from almost an ant's perspective.  I like how the ground is in focus and the background is blurred. It really captures the tiny road that is formed between the cracks of the bricks. It's as though this image is taking you somewhere and you are curious to know where it's going.

S curve

I like this image because of it's color, I've always liked the view of cities and bridges and lights that shine into the night time sky. I like that there is water present in this photo, and how the lights reflect off of it. This image gives you a good idea of how the bridge is formed and what turns the cars will be making. It's fascinating.

Frame within a frame

I like this image because it really captures the movement of the cars, it's almost as though you can see them moving in a sense. I like how part of the bridge traps the car that is being focused in this picture. It's as if the car has set sail and is going somewhere. I also like the shape of the bridge and how the lines appear to be going down.

Balanced composition

This picture really captures my interest because it appears to have been played with a little bit and the way the building is placed is odd but fun.  I like how to blue sky is showing and that there is symmetry happening.

The rule of thirds

This picture really captivates me because the sun is to the side of the frame, whereas usually the sun is centered in most pictures that I come across. There is nothing but cloud in the center of this photo and a bit of rock. I like the colors, they move me.
