The Cast

Filed under: Uncategorized — sing809 @ 5:50 pm

This was part of an assignment to combine photos with borders and text. It was a difficult experience having Emily’s cast removed. It took 45 minutes with a saw next to her skin.

Duotone project.

A duotone takes a grayscale image and adds depth and detail by converting it to two colors. This is Kayla in a bridesmaid dress superimposed in front of bridalveil falls. The image of Jake and the lion is also a duotone. After I worked hard to convert the image to a duotone, Kayla wanted to know if I could make it a color picture.

Text assignment.

Filed under: Uncategorized — sing809 @ 9:24 am

This assignment was geared towards including some text in an image. I wasn’t quite happy with it, but I’m trying not to get behind in class. I think I will alter the colors in the text and the background when I get a chance.

This picture was an exercise in using color for effect in a photo. I altered the gray rocks in the background and gave them a warm color palette. The squirrels in Yosemite are very friendly!

I chose John Lennon for my midterm collage project. After several tweaks this is the version I am going to turn in.

Fun with flying chickens

This image was for my surrealism project. It didn’t seem surreal enough so I thought I would add a flying chicken. Thanks to Devon and Sophie for the flying chicken photo. I guess I should also thank Henny the chicken since she did a lot of the work. Emily was concerned about the changes. She didn’t want a chicken flying with her. She decided the chicken could stay if I turned it pink. Maybe some day. For the meantime, I think I will just print her a copy of the previous version.
