P1-Q4- Reflections and Close Up

Close up

I didn't have much trouble getting a close up image because flowers are everywhere and that's what I really  wanted to capture. My background is blurry and I like the detail in the flower and how you can see the ants. Getting close up images allowed me to capture and appreciate things I don't see on a normal day.

 Reflection

I captured my reflection by going outside and using the glass door to capture the inside of my house and the outside as well. I didn't plan on getting my dog in the picture but I'm glad I did, she is the main focus and adds interest to the photo.

P1-Q4-Darkroom Double Exposure

 

I created this image by first finding out two negatives that would look interesting together. I determined the time I needed to expose each picture taking into account that the background should be a little bit lighter and the foreground a little darker. The focal point in my picture is my dog. I think my overall product turned out well. However, I wish it wasn't so gray, but after my first try I got my dog to turn out better with stronger whites. I do like the look of a double exposure because I think they look very interesting and it was a cool experience.

P1-Q4-Architecture

My architecture picture could be used as a unique perspective of a school picture. It presents the normal atmosphere of a school but from a different view.

P1-Q4-Photoshop Background Change and Blemish Removal

 

I liked the final product of this image because it was very cool to be able to make the background change and create a different effect on the viewer. I did not like how tedious the process was, and how frustrating it was when it cut off some of her hair. Overall, this was a good learning experience and I think I did well.

I do think this is a helpful technique to know because in the future if I want to print out a portrait that has blemishes, I know how to get rid of them.
