Portraits

Sara Nicholson Karly Olson
For my 2 portraits I wanted them to be different kinds of mood or feeling. So for Sara's photo, i had her smiling and acting happy. The lighting and bright colors makes that feeling of the photo also. I increased the saturation, changed the exposure, and brightened her eyes in saras portrait.
For Karlys picture, I wanted there to be a more serious kind of feeling. So i didnt really have her do my with her facial expressionssons so I could get that mood. The dull colors and blured backround also add to the effect of the mood. I sharpened this photo, changed the exposer, and also brightened her eyes.

Repulsive Photos







Attractive Photos






For this projest we needed to take 2 pictures of attractive photos as well as 2 repulsive photos.
  • I chose to take a picture of a dead fish besause to most people that is very repulsive. Although, when you look at the photo, the colors of the fish are acctualy quite pretty which can change this to an attractive photo. I played with saturation and exposers in this photo.
  • My sister and I found a small crab leg on the beach and I think that finding just a leg of one is repulsive. So, I took a photo of my sister holding it. I sharpened this picture a little and also changed the exposure.
  • For my first attractive photo, I took a pictue of the beach when the waves were crashing on to the sand. Also i liked how bright the sun was that day so it made the water look really pretty. I changed the saturation and also the exposer on this photo.
  • And my last photo, I found a seashell that had been washed up on to the sand and I took the photo from angle below the shell. I think the colors in the sand are really pretty and I love how the shadow of the seashell was captured in the photo. I sharpened this photo and also used color burn.

Neon Glow 2


I took this photo through the railing on the Lac La Belle bridge. I like the circle in the railing because it focuses your eyes into the center of the picture. I used a Neon Glow filter on this photo. It made the sun and the reflection on the water really stand out.

What i wanted to do in this photo is have the flower in focus, then have Karly blured in the backround. I think it worked out alright, but there are deffinatly some improvements that I could make. In this photo i used a neon glow filter to make it a brighter yellow color. The glow made the pedals more interesting looking and also made the sun rays come out more.

Easy Blur 2
I really liked the lighting when i took this photo. The sun made the yellow of the flower really stand out. I used the easy blur effect on this photo, this made the yellow in the flower kindof blend into the photo and not pop out as much so it looks more unified.
Easy BlurWhat really caught my eye before I took this picture was the sun reflecting off the snow on the tree. In this photo i used the easy blur effect as well as a color effect to make the image brighter.
Filter Backround 2

I took this photo because i really liked all of the branches and how they overlapped to create depth in the picture. Also the bright green balloon that my friend has let go of created some contrast of lights and darks.
