Personal Words

The lyrics i chose for this project is foolish by Ashanti.
"See my days are cold without you But I'm hurtin while im with you And though my heart can't take no more I keep on running back to you Baby I don't know why ya treatin me so bad You said you love me, no one above me And I was all you had And though my heart is eating for ya I can't stop crying I don't know how I allow you to treat me this way and still i stayBaby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong See when I'm home, I'm all alone And you are always gone And boy, you kno I really love you I can't deny I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears after all these years See, when I get the strength to leave You always tell me that you need me And I'm weak cause I believe you And I'm mad because I love you So I stop and think that maybe You can learn to appreciate me Then it all remains the same that You ain't never gonna change."
I chose these words because i love this song and always sing it. I think any girl can relate to it too. And it makes me feel better i dont know why. I just really like the song. To me they mean a girls independance from a man that shes strong and dont need him, but also hurt. So it fits the average teenage girl who has ever been like heartbroken.

Social issue: "image"

• In this picture there is all black and white with a flower standing out in color. There are two words that say looks within that are written in bright red with a black square behind them. The color of the flower is not that bold just suttle, to just bring it out a little.

• My social issue has to do with people and how they may not be the most prettiest in the world, but if they let there inside show they are really beautiful. like once you get to know someone they become more prettier. It affects me because i am a person to judge on appearance like most people do even though its not a good thing, and some people have surprised me with how beautiful there true personality is and how good intentions they carry.

scary effects

My favorite is the vampire because it was funner to create.

i learned a bunch of new tools like the glass tools and how to make the eraser different shapes

it was difficult because all the layers would get confusing

i think i did well on the alien eyes

in real life people probably use these for magazines scary movies and like book titles

Critique: Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison

In the picture I have chosen a man who is wearing a black suit which he is looking determined because he is building a bridge/dock of wooden panels. But the thing that is so different about this photo is he is building this on a lake just full of water. There are ripples in the water from him hammering on the wood panels. The picture is in black and white.
It’s kind of a leading lines picture because the only thing in the picture is the man with the part of the bridge he has already built and the water with a blank grey sky. The bridge sort of looks unsteady. It seems as if he might be trying to get out of the place that he is at. Trying to escape. It seems impossible what the man is trying to do. He seems desperate to leave, to build a bridge like his.
He is the main emphasis because he’s right in the middle and wearing black which is a contract compared to the lighter grey tones in the lake and sky. I like this picture I think it just stands out and is very different. The thing they could have done different is maybe give him a destination that his bridge leads to.

photographic effects

my favorite trick we have learned over the past few days is how to change eyecolor i think its so much fun how different it makes the picture look.

the trick i would like to explore a bit more with would be the glow in pictures and filtering.

i loved putting layer masks over my pictures to add colors like what i did with cheyannes pic. with the rainbow and blur it looks eye catching.

Portraits

The portrait i think was most successful was the costume one because to me it looks so artistic. And i got good reviews.

To create a more artisitc photo i tried to use the lighting affect because to me thats most dramatic.

Cheyanne used a pretty long black dress as her costume. I like the way it turned out becaused it just looks so different and you dont see that everyday.

My surprise photo is different because i used the sun alot and i didnt really use it in any of the other pictures.

Compositional Trick #9 contact sheet

My favorite trick was the frameing one, because i think it looks really artistic. I think i will use light in my everyday photos because it makes the picture just that much more better. The trick most difficult for me was the extreme angles because i feel like i couldnt get low enough and it was my least favorite.

Compositional Trick #8 Fill in Flash

The flash on the cameras helped alot with making the shadows over our faces become more clear. It helped alot in the really bright sunlight to use a flash. There are before pictures that are just to dark and you cant see them well, but the after ones with flash helped alot.

Compositional Trick #7 Drawing with Light

This lighting sets my picture apart from others because it looks like theres emotion, and a mood within the picture. When i look at this picture i think the mood is like the model is thinking about something.

Compositional Trick #6 Framing

These shots are showing frames around your emphasis. Framing helps bring out the emphasis, and leads you to it easily. Makes your eyes go straight to the person.

Compositional Trick #5 Extreme Angles

These pictures are extreme angles, one is shot from below, and one up high. They help us notice the world from a different angle. Like it would be like to be a bug looking up at a giant, or a bird looking down at little people.

Compositional Trick #4 Simplicity

Using simplicity helps you define your object, taking out all the backround images and focusing just on your object and a simple back drop. When you make just one thing stand out alot, it looks really artistic and neat.

Compositional Trick #3 Macro

The Macro button helps alot it shows us things that we cant really see lik the material on a dress, or the little hairs on leaves. It zooms alot, and blurs out the backround. You would use this to take pictures of very small things that are hard to see just regularly by the human eye.

Compositional Trick #2 Leading Lines

Leading Lines are used to lead up to your emphasis. You would use them to see whats beyond the picture and to make your emphasis stronger. It helps the picture 'pop' more.

Compositional Trick #1 Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is like a tic-tac-toe grid. It helps you angle where you want your main emphasis to be. It pretty much helps you divide your picture into sections so that you know where to put your main detail.
