Self-Scan

        We had the amazing opportunity of scanning our own faces. It was so cool! I was a little worried at first until Hohman showed us the Windex. :)  I scanned my face like six times trying to get a good one and ended up with the third try. As you can see, I first uploaded the original, then uploaded an edited version! I had a lot of fun with the curve, lightening myself, and giving me "pink" dots! I would definitely do this again. I'm glad Hohman decided to put this in his plans!

Landscape Photos- Infrared

        Each one of these photos were taken through a film camera, printed, scanned, and edited. The point of infrared photos in this case was to take all the green out and replace it with "pink". In class we learned that pink isn't actually a real color. In my opinion, these look really neat! I absolutely love all of the different effects and vibes they give off. :)  Very cool!

Landscape photos

             This is one of my landscape photos without any editing. This photo makes me really happy because it reminds me of a famous photo of the Sacred Grove. This photo, however, was taken in the forest in the yard of my house. I was really surprised at how detailed it looked while I was going through the printing process before actually allowing it to show up on paper. It was cool!

         These are obviously clouds, and I think they look awesome! This was taken on Beef Bend Rd. in Tigard around 5:00pm. I've always had a thing for clouds, so being able to capture this moment was really neat!

          This last one is on the street up to my house. I love these trees so much and have always wanted a photo of them with their shadows, and now I got one! It looks way cool and I'm so glad it turned out!

Contact Sheet

                 These are images of my very last contact sheet in high school. I leave for India in two days, come back and graduate. Both of these images show the distinctness in each landscaped photo. I was able to get it dark enough so the plastic doesn't show on the negative strips, but light enough to keep each individual photo noticeable. I'm really proud of my work! :)

Tilt Shifts

                 The reason why I have waited so long to upload these is because I wanted more. For me, it has been incredibly difficult finding things in the world that I can capture and make into a tilt shift photo. Maybe I just needed to take more time out of my schedule and drive around even more, looking. These two that I do have, however, really make me very happy. :)

                This first photo was taken at a Blazer game and I made it into a tilt shift photo. Instead of blurring out the top and bottom, I decided to blur the diagonals, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I fixed the lighting a bit just to brighten it up, and the clearness of it really excites me!

                 This is my second tilt shift, and I captured this at school one morning. This duck has been in the school parking lot lately, and I just couldn't miss the opportunity to take a photo of him. The tilt shift worked well, but maybe next time I'll make sure I'm up higher so I can get the real effect. The thing I love about this, though, is the fact that the duck is just one single object. It makes me happy!

Person Portrait Continued...

        
          These are the other two of my "person portrait" project. I had some technological issues, and that's why they are seperate from the other. My grandpa is one of my very favorite people, and I greatly enjoyed photographing him! The thing that I don't understand about the photos is the lines across the angles of it. I really have no idea why it does that. If I could redo these photos I would fix the lighting. They are still pretty dark even though I lightened them. I had fun with this project!

Self Portrait Project

           The self portrait project was interesting. I really like my "cake face" photo, but other than that I wasn't a huge fan of it all. The first photo is of me with my sleeping mask on. I really like this photo despite the dots and the shadows where my eyes should be. Next time I'll need to figure out better lightning. My second photo is of me outside with  the sun shining in the background. I really enjoy this photo. For some reason on the left side of my face there is a color change, and I'm not sure what went wrong there. It was probably how I printed the photo and/or other chemical on it. It could even be that it wasn't in a certain chemical for as long as it should have been. My last photo is my "cake face". I love this photo! I really hate the dust particles that got on it, though. I love how the light hits my face and the cake lights up. The fact that my teeth are visible and I am smiling really brings out the photo as well!

Contact Sheets

           These are all of my contact sheets. As you can see, each one got better as I got better and learned how to make better contact sheets. The pictures are very clear on my first one, but I wasn't quite able to get the holes to be black. On my next few I did a lot better. What happened with my photos on my last two contact sheets is my film wouldn't unwind, so when I opened up my camera to get the roll out, the light hit it briefly. The thing that bothers me is the dust particles that stick to the final copy, so when you scan it, that's what you see. Next time I'll make sure to upload them to my blog right away so that this doesn't happen.
