Every Day Workspace

Edited Photo:

On this photo I cropped part of the top and right side of the photo. After that I turned it into black and white. Next, I dodged some of the highlights and the midtones. The seasoning containers got dodged a little and little part of the cup in the foreground.
Then adjusted the levels a little. Finally, I dodged part of the chair and the table a bit. I liked this photo a lot because its what my daily workspace usually looks like. I thought that the setup of the objects were good as well. This is a good example of a diaristic or autobiographical still life.

Board Games

Edited Photo:

I turned this photo into black and white. After that I dodged some of the boxes and the text on the boxes. Also, I dodged some of the wood on the shelves. Then, adjusted the levels a little. Finally I cropped a little of the right side of the photo which wasn't needed. I just really liked this photo because of its a collection of games that collected over time and I like all the path ways there are. Also its a still life in a way.

Bi-Polar

I chose this photo because I think I captured two realistic emotions that occur in manic people. What I did to this photo was convert it to black and white. Adjusted the levels and increased the sharpness.

1942

This photo reminded me of a war torn area of Germany.

Erica

I chose this photo because it reminded me of when I proposed to my wife. It was just her and I alone in the park, sitting at a picnic table.

I chose to take this picture because I wanted to create a "meditative" or "calm" space. Candles always seem calming so I chose to have a simple picture with just the candles in them. I changed the levels a little to bring out the candles more by having a dark background

River

I like this photo because there was only one spot in the river where the ice had melted around the rocks and you could see it flowing.

I like this photo because I think it looks calm, and there is no evidence of people living so close to there.

This photo I chose to take for reflection for a couple of different reasons. It reflects my love for the sport and the litteral reflection through the glass. I also changed the levels on this photo to pull out more of the darks and lights. I also cropped out a lot of other information to focus in more at the glass reflection.

I cropped the photo, converted it to black and white, and changed the levels. This is a reflection of me, because i was in a dance class for all of high school, and it became my life and I loved it.

Reflections

I love this photo, I get a sense of calm from this. This photo goes with my theme, "The Grey Side Of Life," because those of us who are from northern Minnesota know it's time to hunker down for the winter.












This photo works for the reflections assignment and also my theme. It works for my theme because the color is coming out of the grey.

Lights

I like the color one better because I like how all the colors connect. I like how the lights reflect off the hard wood floor.

Hang on

I like the black and white one better because the leave stands out. This picture shows the leaf is dead but still holding on to a piece of wood maybe not wanting the season to change.

Believe

I really enjoy the black and white one better because to me it looks more motivating. there is less colors and so it just focus on the word believe. I really like the pattern in the counter with the refection.

Reflections

For this photo, all I did was convert it to black and white. Then adjusted the levels.

Original:

Edited:

First thing I did with this photo was to turn it black and white. Then I adjusted the levels and cropped it to take out some of the information I thought wasn't necessary. After that some of the darks got dodged and some of the lights for burned. You can't really tell that I burned and dodged it though.

For this photo I turned it into black and white.

After that, the levels got adjusted. Then some of the highlights got dodged so did some of my iPad and cropped the photo. Next, part of the table got burned just a small amount. Finally, I dodged some of the mid tones of my shirt and hands.

Stalk-A-Razzi

This is the original photo, I concerted it to black and white,

and changed the levels. I like the black and white photo more.

Stalk-A-Razzi Photos

The photo's that I chose worked well for both the assignment and my topic for the sketch book.

The assignment asked us to take photo's of a subject who was unaware that the photo was being taken. I chose this photo because my subject is kind of humdrum and accident prone. He seemed really focused on what he was doing so that he didn't knock everything over. I was waiting down one of the isles watching him, hoping he would knock it over, but he never did.



This photo gives a real stalker feel to it. I like the color and the way the shelf frames the subject.

Birds

I like the black and white one better because every branch blends in and the person sticks out better.

Random Photos

Didn't have room to put the original photo, but I converted the photo to black and white. Then cropped the far right side out.

For the coin photo, I converted it to black and white. Then cropped some of the table out, and adjusted the levels.

As for the cash machine, I just converted it to black and white.

Stalk-A-Razzi

I converted this photo into black and white from the original, then adjusted the levels of the photo. I then cropped the topper half of the photo. What I like the most out of this photo is the reflections that I was able to capture.

Technology Concentration

Original Photo:

For the edited version of this photo I turned it black and white. Then I burned some of the shadows and I dodged some highlights and mid-tones. Also, I think I chose this photo in black and white because of the contrast of darks and lights. Though I like the colors of the color photo. It could be along the lines of technology. The angle this was taken I thought worked out well for a paparazzi photo.

Original Photo:

For this edited photo, I turned it black and white. Then, I burned the mid tones and some of the shadows. Next I dodged the highlights and I think some of the mid tones as well. I chose that I like this photo better in black and white. Her and her face stand out on both of these photos. Thats not the only reason. The contrast of darks and lights are noticeable. I tried to burn out that big light coming in to try to get rid of it. But it really doesn't take away from the photo. Either way, I like this photo.

Edited Burned Dodged:

I burned the shadows around the rocks and the leaves to bring out some more of the detail.

This is just one of those photos that you have to take. The way the sun was making such a bright outline around the clouds.

I choose these photos to represent the path that I am on. My college career is coming to an end and the journey ahead is unknown.
