Landscape

I shot these landscape pictures in different places at school and in Acapulco. The ones from Acapulco came out better i would say becase there was more sight seeing then at school.

Photoshop helped out a lot for the ones from Acapulco because they brought out the colors such as the highlights the midtones and the shadows. Photoshop also helped me in fixing the horizon line for the ones showing a horizon because at first they were cricket. Now i know that it is very important for the horizon to come out as straight as possible to make a good picture, and also to make sure all the colors shine as they should. I also think in landscpae it is very important to work with making intresting compostition since there is no people in the shot, and thats what i also tried to include and will make better for next time.

DESIGN

0

For this assignment we had to see things from a different perspective and just use the elements and everything that was around us. The designs and patterns in the shadow caught my eye because i liked how the rail  created that figure. Also the shape and figure that the tree made. I shot the picture from above  so you can still see the actual shape of the rail. I liked doing this project because it opens your eyes to see other things in many different ways. I want to keep doing more things that involve design and using all the elements such as line, texture etc.

GROUP STROBE LIGHT

Working with strobe light was a different experience than all the other ones, the only was that was kind of similar to this was when we did he studio lighting ones because you get use to the lights. I would have liked if we had got some digital shots too because those are the ones that think would of looked nicer. I think in terms of the light we messed up having Luis to far in the back because the light didn't hit him as much and it made him appear really dark. I also think this so is well composition because when i took this i wanted them o have things in common because that way they are dancing to the music shes playing and all while he is filming it. I think next time we just need to work better on our lighting because our composition was good we jst needed the light better so everyone shows up good.

PORTRAIT

In this image what makes the portrait work is the composition.The lines of the window gives it an abstract feeling and also the shape of the window because it is circular. The way the light came in caused shadows which also makes the image looks good. The way my little brother posed and how he put his legs up also make the composition look good. I captured the moment of my brother looking outside the window with a face that he was sort of wondering. Overall it was a fun experience when i took pictures for the other portraits because its fun playing with the light and how it reflects naturally and the natural light causes a good picture where there are also shadows in it. It also sort of brings out the personality and how the light shows on their skin and how they are posed and everything.

Article A Portrait

To me a portrait is capturing the moment of the emotion of facial expression. Its not really focusing on everything else but the face. In the article the artist decided to shoot them with water because she thought i was an intimate moment. She also discussed about the difference of a snapshot and a portrait and she said the difference was a snapshot is someone posing and a portrait is very natural. Also the lighting is very different in a portrait you have to let the light come natural like from a window or door. A portrait is also capturing the essence of that person because they are not posing and looking at the camera but instead they are themselves and just being natural like if you were'nt even there taking the picture.

IN A DIFFERENT PLACE

This is the final image of putting my old photo and adding it into the forest. I hose to be in the forest because i think it has similar colors to the ones i have on my dress, and it all goes and looks good together. I also decided to change the color of my skin to make it come out more and look unrealistic kind of. I decided to do that because this forest reminds me of like a fantasy forest, so i thought it would look good looking unrealistic. Using the magnetic lasso seemed easier to me now since i had already used it, i didn't have any trouble using it. I actually like using this tool a lot because you can put certain stuff and things in another place.I thought this project was cool and i enjoyed making it look sort of abstract.
