"A case of the Mondays"

Our next project will require lots of editing so I am not looking forward to it much at all. However, after seeing some of Lawler’s examples I am a tad excited to see how everyone’s turns out. It actually sounds like it will be a somewhat creepy project, everything being all distorted and not normal and all. Lawler commented that my projects usually turn out better when I take pictures of things I can connect to or rather take pictures of things I see fit rather than just taking pictures and trying to make them fit. It definitely makes sense but lately I am having a hard time connecting to anything. I plan on taking pictures all this week so we will see how this turns out 

Critique me.

kinda random, I do not know.

i just needed something to post for a critique me.

While i was creating this a few different images appeared to me. First i saw a boy laying across the crescent of the moon. Now i see the head of a duck or something. I actually do not like this, but i decided to share it anyway.

This was an older picture from last year that i edited using the new editing process to make it look old. Personally i thnk it looks more like a painting, and i really like the mystery of where the path leads to, or which one will i take sort of feeling.

Nothing..

This week I have been working on taking the compositional photos I shot last week and editing them to make them look old. At first I was not happy with the editing because I took a lot away from the photos. You weren’t able to see a lot of the necessary detail. However, I figured out a method to make them look very old and fragile while keeping some of the detail. It did not take long and the photos still do not look fantastic but it is a start. As I was working on the old photos I was thinking about old films. I figured that a lot of the commotion that goes on in this class would make a good old film. On the other hand, I’m not so sure many people would watch that. A better idea might be to create a photo journal of this class. If I could capture everyone in their best and worst moments it would be interesting. There would be a good mixture of angry, sad, and happy pictures. I’m not sure what the story being told would actually be but it’s just an idea.

the first one is the original which i really like because i was able to capture her in the moment. the second one is edited. and it sort of reminds me of maybe an older picture or maybe what she would look like on an older television show.

Critique me.

This is a picture i took on a nature walk.

Weekend on the water

My father and I decided to take one last cruise out on the boat this weekend. I was able to get a few good pictures of all the trees along the river. They were a variety of colors. My favorites are the pictures under the bridge and of the power lines. They really draw you into the picture. I discovered this little area on shore a little ways down the river that had this little old shack and what looked like an old park. With the trees loosing their leaves and looking nearly dead it created a tad bit of a creepy feeling. There was also this tiny little island that helped create alot of depth in another picture. Although the trees were many different colors of autumn, i found that most of my pictures looked better black and white. I hope you enjoy them :)
