Macro Photography Assignment


I took this image of a white flower by using a combination of manually holding the camera close to the subject and digital zoom. The image has managed to stay clear even though it is quite a bit zoomed in. I chose to take a picture of this since the white flower contrasts the green plants that surround it. This is one of the positives of my picture. One thing I would change about this is next time I would try and blur the surrounding, and keep the flower clear. This would enhance the appearance of the entire image.

Double Colors Exposure Assignment

Image
I began this assignment by first taking multiple pictures of my subject to ensure I had several options to pick from. Once I uploaded the three pictures to Photoshop, I overlapped the different layers to ultimately overlap my subject on top of himself. I then entered the blending options in the fx window and played with the RGB combinations. This turned out to be an easy assignment, however it was a little difficult to ensure the subject was visible. To fix this, I applied the "Difference" filter on the 2 edge layers, which also ended up giving it a cool negative effect.

Forced Perspective Photography Assgnment

       My goal for both of these pictures was to experiment with depth of field to create an image that makes the object in the background a lot smaller compared to the foreground. For the first picture, I acquired a miniature monument of the Eiffel Tower and placed a toy dinosaur in front of it. After playing around with the angles, I was able to create an image that makes the dinosaur look the same size as the Eiffel Tower, which is a massive structure in real life. For the second picture, I got my sister to hold out her hand and instructed my dad to move into a certain spot in the background. After numerous attempts, I was able to create a picture where it looks as if my dad has shrunk and is balancing on my sisters hand.        For the first picture, I would like to change the background since it looks a little bit fake. If I took this same picture outside with the horizon as the background, it would look much more realistic as the Eiffel To...

Aperture and Depth of Field Assignment 1

Image
I took 5 pictures of the same subject, but at 5 different f numbers. The pictures go from a small f number (at the top) to larger f numbers (at the bottom). I noticed that the smaller the f number, the less clearly I could see my subject. The pictures all look fairly similar, however the higher the f stop number, the more I could see in the picture (as in both foreground and background). I found that the larger f number gave me a better picture, however I understand this will vary depending on the light level of the setting.
