Scary Expressions

This Picture makes me thing of a horror movie when the guy's
face just turns into an ugly version of hulk. The red eyes means
that they are super mad.
This picture makes me feel very scared because if I were actually
at a cemertry by my self and my friend took a picture of me and I saw
this Ghost in back of me I would be scared.
This Picture makes me Feel scared of myself because if this were really
to happen I would Probably end up dead. Someone would kill me
because I would be eating PEOPLE from the inside out.

The Scream My Interpretation


He is screaming because he found out something he wasn’t suppose too. I think he found out that he was a monster and wasn’t good looking at all. He went to the river to probably jump off because he is ugly and not handsome so he just wants to die. He wanted to die so that the world wouldn’t have too looked at him again ever again. Another Reason for him to be screaming would have been because the sky’s were red so he thought the world was about to end for him. Also because he saw everything melting away and notices that he was melting too.

Creative Me


This project was an opportunity for us to put the tools we have learned to use. We were to take one of our portraits, and change it creatively using the following: selection tools, layers, adjustment layers, layer styles, blending options, paint brushes and opacity.


The thing I like is the way you can write and color as you want using diffrent colors.

I liked using the magnatic lasso the most it lets you pick what you wanna pick and then do what you want to it.

I feel very good about my photo shop knowledge because I know what each and ever tools does so far I hoping there is more tool so we can learn them too.

Adjustments



In this exercise we learned about Adjustment layers. Adjustment layers allow you to add adjustments to your image on separate layers instead of directly to the image itself. This comes in handy during long complicated projects. In Photoshop every tool is specifically designed to help improve your photo. However, here we took some artistic liberties and explored adjustments creatively.

Self Portraits



For our Self-Portrait project we were to take three self-portraits. They were all to be in black and white, and they were all to capture a mood of some sort. We were also challenged to be as artistic as possible, and stay as far away from normal, cliche portraits that we see on personal pages etc. as possible.One had to use the rule of thirds as the base for the composition; One had to incorporate leading lines, and one had to be taken from a more extreme angle.
I like the one of the leading lines but I like my ROT because I think it captures a Mood.
My leading line for sure I will do better and also make sure its clean.
I really feel good about my portraits because it is nice to do something on me for once.

Contact Sheet


My Contact Sheet is a page I put together I really like how it turned out. My Sheet is the best if I had to pick. The thing I did well was that I was able to learn very quickly and I am happy with the progress I have made in this class. I could have probably picked better pictures next time and also were going into winter so we should have some fun with that. Out of all of the compositional tricks I think the Croped one came out really good because I took my time with it and did some experiments with it and I liked it. If I had to pick a trick I liked working with it would be the crop because you can do alot of thing with that tool.

Cropping

Cropping is a trick that photographers do all the time, even if they don't realize it. Every time a photographer chooses to cut something out of his/her frame, before they snap the photo that is in essence cropping. We also have learned tools on Photoshop that allow us to crop an image after we have taken it. When cropping in Photoshop it is possible to improve our composition or change it completely.

Extreme Angles

Extreme Angles are so much fun because it’s up to you to find a fun angle to take the picture at like for example taking it from the bottom up or side ways. When you do this it is really up to you on how you want to take the picture it can be fun and hard sometimes but if you put some your imagination into it there is no limited as what you can’t do...

Macro


Macro is two things having to do with TEXTURE and another is DEPTH OF FIELD. What I mean about texture is getting closer than usual like the example I have. Depth of Field is when you focus on something and then the background get blurrier when you focus on the main point. To do this you have to hold you camera button half way down then it auto focus for you therefore getting the picture for you.



Leading Lines


Leading lines is a line of some sort leading the viewer into the picture. For example the main line is leading to me if you see the main crack on the floor its leading straight to me. Its just a line that leads to your main focus of your picture.

Rules of Thirds

Rules of Thirds are a very fun thing to do because it includes getting pictures at an angle but with the Camera pointing toward the Corner. That means the main thing is a corner of the picture.
