Scary Effects

I like the vampire picture because it looks more realistic than the alien one. The tool I learned and liked a lot was the blood tool. It was easy to use and I also learned how to make it look semi-real not just like it was painted on. It was hard to do the lines with the pen tool, I didn't like it because I didn't know how to use it. I believe I did well on coloring in the eyes and making them look creepy. I think people who illustrate or fix pictures in magazines will use these tools because they might fix pictures when a certain holiday comes around.

Critique: Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison

Kneeling on the edge of a path way in the lake, there is a man, with a hammer on his left hand. He looks like he’s almost about to fall in. The water is lonely. He is trying to get to the other side hammering more and more woods to make the path longer. It seems to me like he wants to escape from something. The man is tired because of the woods he has on his back. This art work is very interesting on how the man is working by himself and not the help of others to create a longer path way in the water.

Photographic Effects

Out of all the tricks and tools we have learned I like the Glow because it makes the picture look tight and it stands out! The tool I would like to work with more is cross process because I didn't really understand how to that one and I would like to learn. The favorite thing I did was use fix: healing tools because it cleans the picture and fixes marks that a person may have on their face or body that wouldn't look to nice!

Portraits

The picture I think I was most succesful in was with the costume one because you could tell what compositional trick is and the picture didn't come out blurry, it was just a good picture to me. Well to create an artistic portrait I had my client dress up professional and model with a purse and reading glasses to make her look like a teacher. The mood I captured was a hot mood by the way I had her pose. The costume I chose was a nurse costume because I think she looks like she could be a nurse in the future. Yes, I like this picture because everything came out the way I wanted it to, the compositional trick and it didn't come out blurry. My surprise photo was not a very good one. At the time I couldn't think of antyhing that would be surprising. It was hard to think of ways to take a picture and use a compositional trick because we didn't have a lot of things at home that we could have used for the pictures.

Contact Sheet

Out of the 8 Compositional Trick we learned I liked the rule of thirds best because it makes the picture more interesting because it's not centered. I think I will start using light because it creates a mood to the photographs. The trick that was most difficult to me was leading lines because it was hard for me to find something that lead to the subject of the picture. My favorite picture was extreme angle the one with the water bottle because that's not how we see a water bottle everyday and it also looks like a lizards face or something on the bottom of the water bottle.

Composition Trick #8 Fill in Flash

Fill in effected my photos in a good way because when I took pictures that had a light background and with shadow the person or object comes out dark and with the flash you can see the object better with more light. I will use fill in flash whenever I'm in the sun or in bright places so my pictures could come out more clear.

Composition Trick #7 Drawing with Light

The light in a picture, as well as framing, makes the picture stand out. It also makes one look at the bright side of the picture. Even though the pictures hab a dark side, the dark still stands out. The photo that I took is not a very good picture of "light". I think it needs more light and darker shadows in the background. If my picture would have been a good picture I would get the feeling of thought because the way the person is posing for the picture and with the light it makes it seems she's thinking very deep.
