Project 7 - Alternative Process through Digital Means

Bromoil Prints:
A bromoil print was an early twentieth century photographic processes that created photos that resembled paintings but also where more detailed. I created mine by editing a photo in lightroom. The biggest things I did was turned it almost sepia and added grain to give it a old aged feel. Next I added a painting border to the outside to give it painting feel.

Daguerreotype:
A daguerreotype is a old photo process that photographers printed the photo onto a piece of silver or copper. I made my daguerreotype by editing this photo of Nigle into the theme of daguerreotypes. I first turned the photo more sepia colored and made it a little less vibrant and clear. After that I layered on a couple textures that turned out pretty well. Lastly I added the border.

Cyanotype:
Cyanotype process is a process in the mid 20th century used to create copies of many pictures and drawings. It was cheap and created a cyan blue hue over the entire picture. To make my photo I tried to make it as blue as I could but not to blue as to get rid of the rest of the photos content. After that I made it blurred and added grain. Lastly I added the border.

Project 6 - Multiple Image Techniques

Multiple Exposure:
I chose this photo because I though it had a nice compliment between the smoke stacks being very urban and having the mountain behind it being very natural. I also thought it was a cool looking image having cables that hold the towers up sort of mimic the triangular shape of the mountain giving it a interesting aesthetic.


Panorama: 
I chose this panorama because I thought it was a cool image of the Three Sisters with the sun behind them. I created the image by sticking a couple images together in photoshop.    



HDR Image:
This is a photo of the Three Sisters and Broken Top for the top of Mt.Bachelor. I didn't take multiple images to create the HDR image I edited it to give it the feel of a HDR image and I think it turned out well. I think the photo is interesting because of the details in the Sisters it gives it an intense feel.

Project 4 Balance and Contrast

Triptych
This is my favorite triptych I made. I like how all of the picture have a subtle difference but they all similar. I took this picture by having a 2-3 second exposure to get the movement of his head. I got Nigle to move his head by holding a peace of food and moving it up and down.

Triptych
This picture I think is one of the more interesting group of photos I took in the last few weeks. I just took a picture of each utensil and then edited one and copied the settings and added it to the rest to create an interesting similar group of pictures.

Contrast in Texture
The chain and the ground contrast in texture. I also like how the chains color and the ground contrast in color.

Symmetry
The car is symmetrical. The lights all match on both sides and the car is in the very center of picture. 

 Radial Balance
The ripples in the water ripple out of the center where the duck are and radiat out.


 Contrast in Texture
This photo also contrast in texture between the close up of the concrete and the steeps in the background.

 Diptych
This diptych isn't as conventional its two photo of birds that I think contrast in color well and the close up verses the bugs eye gives the diptych an interesting feel.

Diptych
This is my favorite of the two diptych that I have I like how it looks like one photo that is cut in half but is actually two completely different photos that flow really well together.
 Kaleidoscope
This kaleidoscope is a photo of a poster that had interesting look. I really like the plus pattern it makes in the middle I think it works really well.


Kaleidoscope
This is my favorite of the three kaleidoscopes it is a photo of a carpet that had interesting colors and a cool pattern. I think the pattern really makes it look like a real kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope
This kaleidoscopes is a little different than the other two. Its a photo of the skyline at dusk that I had a 5 second exposure and waved the camera around to give the light a spiral look. I also put 16 pictures down instead of just 4.
