Effects


The picture that I personally liked the best is the cross process because it "Funktafizes" the picture and it brings out a nice color on the picture. The picture that believe that i dont really like is the blur because it looks like it is unreal and it kind of hurts my eyes. I believe it doesnt look that good because of the picture that i have chosen for it.

Frames



On this assignment we were given a frame and we were assigned to take two pictures using both in a photograph. One of the pictures had to be of pure hard sunlight and another one had to be about pure shadows. The picture that I like the most is the shadows (first one) because of all the grays that I caught in the picture. What i believe makes my photograph artistic is the way that I’m posed and the way that I’m not dead on staring directly at the camera and not smiling all that much. What I believe could of made my picture more artistic was having more sunlight and having a little bit of more of an artistic background.

Color!

My colorMy color shots that my partner and I took did not come out as planned because I had no ideas. I also don’t like my picture because we had to rush because time was up to keep on taking pictures. What I believe I could of done better in my pictures if I had another chance was try to plan the pictures a day before because as soon as our teacher gave us the camera and permission my mind went completely lost.

Balance: Asymmetrical vs symmetrical


These two pictures that we took were similar to the group collaboration because one again we were divided into groups we had to take two pictures. One picture was Symmetrical and the other picture was Asymmetrical. What symmetrical means is that you take a photograph and you can cut it in half and the same image would be perfectly balanced. Asymmetrical means having a photograph balanced on both sides. Visual balance is very important in art because if you have a picture and if your emphasis is on the side and on the other side is just a empty field it will look as if the picture is about to fall to the side.

Group Collaboration

Our picture that we took with our group collaboration came out not really all that good. The difficulty that we had taking this picture was trying to get everybody in order because all of us were so used to having one partner to work with and now this time we had about eight people to work with. What I would do different if we had the chance to do the group collaboration again I would talk the idea over with my group and I would of also threw in some of my ideas into the photograph. Overall the group collaboration came out a little out of place because of our poses and where most of us were placed in the shot.
