Another self-portrait

This is the last of my self-portraits. This was taken in the library at Tualatin High School.

Digital Multiples

These images were created by laying two pictures (taken with a DSLR) on top of each other in Photoshop. I had fun experimenting with all the possibilities that could be created with each picture.

Self Portraits + A Double Exposure

More Portrait Pictures

These are some more portraits that I had extra time to print. The picture of my mother doesn't really have that much going on in it, but I wanted to develop one of her and this is the only one I took. I think the top picture of my dad was printed really well because it isn't too dark and you can see absolute black on his glasses. I love the middle picture of him because it's really funny and I think it captures a part of his personality.

Portrait Project

I took these  bottom two pictures in my backyard, and they are of my dad. I think they both capture his silly and quirky nature. Also, there was nice light outside that day.
The first picture was taken at night, outside, with direct light on the right side of his face. It is quite dramatic.

Cross Processing

These are the three pictures I cross-processed. I did that by altering the Red, Blue, and Green Curves. I changed the diagonal line so it formed an "S" to give the pictures a vintage look.

Contact Sheet for Portrait Project

This is the contact sheet for the portrait project. There are some pictures of the beach scattered in there because I had some extra pieces of film scattered in there because there was extra space in the negative sleeve.

Contact Sheet for Light Project

These are the contact sheets I printed for the light project. Before doing them I did a test strip to see when the numbers were the only thing showing up besides the picture. The time to get that was approximately 33 seconds on the dimmest setting of light. There is a lot of darkness on these because most of my pictures were taken in the dark with only a little bit of light.

Light Project-Direct Light

This is a picture of the walkway outside of Tualatin High School next to the North parking lot. It is direct light because the light wasn't diffused by any clouds, the sun is to the left of the trees in the sky, and because hard, defined shadows are created by the light that's shining down.

Light Project-Silhouette

I took this picture of an elephant figurine with a candle behind it on the top of my mantle. It is a silhouette because the light source is behind the subject and makes the subject darker.

Tilt Shift Istanbul 2

I used phtoshop to create a tilt shift effect for this photo of the water in Istanbul. I couldn't decide which one I liked better , so I decided to post both. I blurred the background and foreground to create the effect.

Tilt Shift Football Field

This a picture of the football field at Tualatin High School. I blurred the foreground and background to make the people in Team Sports appear toy-like or fake.

Tilt-Shift Istanbul

I took this picture with a digital camera during the summer of 2011, while in Istanbul. I created the effect of a tilt-shift lens by blurring the foreground and the back ground. It gives the boat and first couple of houses a toy-like effect.

First Pictures

This is a picture of a light pink rose from my backyard. I tried to to capture the rose in the lower left hand corner to follow the rule of thirds.

This is a picture of a wooden swing, again in my backyard. It came out a bit lighter than it was supposed to, you can tell by the brightness of the tree on the left side. I captured the swing in the lower left hand corner but it still has the look of a straight on picture.

This is a picture of my friend on the bus. This is the picture after some brightness and contrast adjustment, but that still couldn't fix it completely.

This is a flower in my backyard. It originally turned out darker but i adjusted the brightness and contrast and turned out a little better. I was trying to get it in the corner more, although the center doesn't look too bad.

This is one of the first pictures I took with my camera. It is in the north parking lot outside the school and I like the effect it has of going down the pathway/road

Pinhole Project: Tree Walkway

This is a picture of the outdoor walkway connecting the North and South parking lots, near the road. It took me four tries to get the best exposure, on two different days. This exact picture was exposed for about 8 seconds on the brighter of the two days. I especially like the way the shadows are captured. It gives it a look as if it were a water-coloring.

Pinhole Project: Self Portrait

This was the first ever pinhole picture I ever took in Photo 1. It was exposed for approximately 2 minutes and 36 seconds. I was just trying to get a straight-on picture of myself, where I was smiling.

Pinhole Project: Sophomore Hallway

This pinhole picture was exposed for about 3:45 seconds. I sat on the stairs to try and get an extending shot of sophomore hallway.

Hi

Unique and interesting photos will be appearing soon
