Experimental Sketchbook

This project that we worked on deal with editing more than actually taking photos. I used picnik for all of the edited images. I tried to use a bunch of different effects, learning about new ones that I hadn't used before.

 For this photo, it was two photos of the Apple brand logo but in a connecting diptych. In picnik, I used boost first, then I used "gritty". After those two effects, I used vibrance and dots and dots (the CMY Halftone adjustment) and finally cross process.

The first effect I used in this photo was cross process. Then I used circle splash (the screen adjustment) that made have more depth. The last effect I used was duo-tone with dark blue and pale yellow.

For this photo, the first effect I used was invert. Then I added boost, and duo-tone. For the duo-tone effect the two colors I used were black and white. I finally added adjustable threshold for the finishing touch.

 After
In this photo, I used dots and dots (circle dreams adjustment) first. Then I used focal zoom and duo-tone after. For duo-tone I used purple and yellow, then adding cross process. Finally I added heat map (the thermal adjustment) which makes the colors pop.

After
The first effect I used on this picture was invert which created a cool contrast and the texture on the shape. Then I used duo-tone with blue and purple, finally I added posterize to give it a slight edge.

After
For this photo, I used HDR-ish first and then neon. For neon, I used blue. After that, I added dots and dots (circle dreams adjustment, then difference adjustment) and for a final touch, vibrance.

After
In this picture, I used cross process first, and then duo-tone (purple and yellow). The final effect I used was goofy, which added the swirly effect of the image.

Multi-frame Images

     These images consist of grids, diptychs and triptychs. Some of these show a story, and I tried to create flow allowing your eye to move throughout the photo in a unique way.

Individual Photo Projects- FINAL!

There are two sets are images, some are just leaves and black and white and some of them are color images. The color images include other things besides leaves because I felt it was important to include them. I have both black and white and color images of leaves because it shows the leaves in various lights and you notice different details about the leaves.

Second Draft- Individual Photo Projects

These photos are slightly different from my first batch. Instead of all nature, I focused on one leaf. These are all different angles looking at the leaf and different details that other people might not notice. They are also in black and white as opposed to color like my last set of images.

First Draft- Individual Photo Projects

This is the first draft of my individual photo project, taking photos of plants and other things in nature that people don't usually notice. I am trying to take the photos in unique and unusual ways from all different angles.
