I am partners with Emily Wright. We  have decided to replicate a fashion magazine.

Creative Controls - Depth of Field

This photograph was taken in my backyard, and demonstrates a shallow depth of field because the edge of the flower is clearly focused while the background is blurred.

This photo was taken in my backyard as well, and demonstrates a  very shallow depth of field.  The dandelion is clearly focused, while the background is extremely blurred, showing circles of confusion.

In addition to the other photos, this photo was taken in my backyard. Like the others, this photo shows a shallow depth of field , where the leaf is extremely clear and detailed, while the background is very blurred.

This photo was taken in NE Portland, in a abandoned building that had burned down, and been filled with graffiti. This photo shows a deep depth of field because all of the objects are clearly focused.

My last photograph is a image of my friend Sydney, that was taken in the abandonment building. This image shows a shallow depth of field, because my friend and specific strands of her hair especially, are clearly focused while the background is not.

Assignment 5: Creative Controls - Motion

Freeze Action: This photo was taken down at Chapman Elementary school in the tennis courts. We were playing with a soccer ball, and as my friend jumped up to hit the ball I captured a photo of him in mid air. To take this photo I used a very fast shutter speed.



Panning: This is a photo I took of my brother in our backyard on our porch. To capture the panning effect I used a low shutter speed, and as my brother walked across the porch I slowly moved my camera with him.



Camera Shake: This is a photo of flowers in my backyard. To capture this image I used a low shutter speed, and as I pressed down on the shutter button, I quickly moved away from the flowers. By doing this, the center of the image is more focused while the outer edges are blurred and look shaky.



Slow Motion: This is a photo of a disco ball and my brother in the background. To capture this photo I turned the light off in the room in order for the light in the disco ball to stand out. By using a low shutter speed, as the disco ball spun around, the camera captured the motion of the ball turning. Because the shutter speed was so slow, I placed my camera on a tripod in order to get no human shake.



Slow Motion: This is another photo of my brother, who was doing cartwheels and handstands in our backyard. To create this photo, I used a low shutter speed and took multiple images of my brother doing tricks in the same spot. I then took three of the photos and blended them together to create a layering effect.



Total Motion: This photo was taken down at Chapman Elementary School as well. It is a  image of my friend riding their bike, and as they were moving, I slowly moved the camera, using a low shutter speed, so the final product then had total motion.

Creative Controls Photo's

 Panning:

 
 This photo was taken by Jim Richardson and is called "Chasing the Calves." It is a image of a cow boy riding a horse while lassoing his cows. The photographer panned his camera moving it slowly in the same direction that the cowboy was moving to show the cowboy clearly, while the background is blurred.

Slow Motion:
 
 This photo was taken by Jim Richardson as well and is called "San Giorgio Maggiore." It is a image of boats resting in the water but shows slight motion, from the water swaying slowly. The boats are blurred while the background is clear.

Freeze Action:
 
 This photo was taken by Jim Richardson as well and is called Glenfinnan, Scotland. Is shows the mans action frozen, with the main subject and the background is clear.

Camera Shake:
 
 This is a photo of trees, but because the photographer used a camera shake technique, the trees have a blurred effect. This photo was taken by Herr Olsen.

Total Motion:
 
This photo was taken by David Helsham. This shows total motion because the background is blurred as well as the main subject which is moving.

Stop Motion Journey to Lincoln High School

Project 7 Photo Effects

This photo was taken on the Vista Bridge, facing the opposite direction of the city. I used a daguerrotype style to edit this photo. The daguerrotype was the first successful photograph process and was developed in 1837. Editing this photo with a daguerrotype style gave the photo a very aged and vintage look. 

This photo was taken on the Vista bridge as well, and is a view of downtown portland. I used tilt shift editing to make this photo look like a miniature model of Portland.

This photo was taken in Washington Park and was some random person's dog. I used a comic book style to edit this photo, making it look as if it had come out of a comic book. 

Photographer I enjoy

All of these photographs were taken by Keith Carter. I enjoy all of these images because they all have a  depth of field. The photos seem so natural although they may be staged. I like the contrast as well between the old man with the little kittens, and then the young boys as well. http://www.keithcarterphotographs.com/

Project 6 - Multiple Image Techniques

This photo was taken in Washington Park. I took multiple photos with different exposures, and then merged them all together into an HDR in photoshop.

This photo was taken in Washington Park as well, right in front of the japanese garden. Before the entrance of the garden there was a long road with trees. I took multiple photos of the area turning little bits every time to capture the entire length of the area. I then merged all of the photos I had taken into a panorama on photoshop. To make the photos fit well together, I used the warp tool and then edited the contrast, exposure, and brightness.

The photos used in this double exposure photo were taken downtown, and at the Portland College of Art. The city landscape was actually a photo in a window that I had taken a photo of. The colorful women with glass shards was taken at the Portland College of Art and was an art piece of one of the students. If you look very closely on the right hand side of the image as well there is graffiti, and you can make out the letters "L.A." This image was taken on a door somewhere in downtown Portland. To create this photo I merged the photos together on photoshop and adjusted the lightness of the images on top so that they would blend together.
