Spring has Sprung Writeup

For my final project, I focused on spring because I am glad it is finally here and I don’t need to see snow, or wear boots and a jacket everyday.  I took most of my pictures for the final at the Ramapo Reservation and in the front/ backyard of my house.  The scenery and color is what drew me to taking the photographs.  I like the color especially in the flowers, because flowers in the spring are very bright.       

            Doing the project I encountered some challenges.  One challenge I faced was the brightness.  At times the sun too bright, which inhibited me from taking the picture, or it would distort the color of the picture.  Another problem was the shadows.  If I were standing to block the sun, it would create a shadow over the object I was trying to photograph.  Then when editing the pictures, I had to correct the shadows and highlights to make the picture seem real. In all I liked doing the project because I was able to take things I like, and to see everything in bloom made the project seem better.

Spring Has Sprung- FINAL

So for my final, I picked the theme of spring!  I picked it for the color, and the scenery that spring brings to the surroundings.  Here are the 10 pictures I printed for my final!

Editing Project #2

For this post, we had to work with a partner, and give them 200 of our photos that are either new, or taken since the previous editing project.  From there they chose their 25 favorites, we then picked our favorite 25 and are now narrowing it down to 7 to post here!  I hope you guys like my photos!!! The semester is almost over!  I'll maybe post some of my final pictures then HELLO SUMMER!

Constructed Reality

For class this week, we had to create 3 constructed realities. I used pictures from walking around campus and Saratoga Springs to create these images.  I got frustrated with everything but in the end I think my pictures came out okay!  The bottom 2 are my favorite!!!  

Diptych

Our next assignment was a Diptych.  Diptych photography focuses on two elements that are similar to each other.  It took me a while to think of how I could do this project.

SPACE

For this project we had to focus on space.  Here are my final 5 images

Editing Project Final 15

For this project, we had an editing partner and I shot over 100 pictures.  These are the 15 favorites that I chose, and my partner agreed with them.  I think these are a good overall view of the past assignments.
