For this project we learned about the image techniques of panaroma HDR, and and multi layer. We walked around a Portland Park from our school and we took photos having these techniques in mind. I used Photoshop to edit them and these are my final photos for this project.

Reflections of 1st Semester

Reflection: This semester I learned a lot about photography and got to take many cool photos. Throughout the year I got to research many different photographers work and draw inspiration from it. One of my favorites is named Henri-Carter Bassen. I really like his photos and I find them really interesting. I discovered how much I like black and white photos. The simplicity of them are really cool. I also like the the old-timey vintage feel of his photos. I learned a lot about composition and framing like frame within a frame or contrast and balance. Also about framing, editing, and balances in photos. I feel I can identify photos into these categories and really see how each one uses these techniques. I liked all the projects because I liked going around the city taking photos during school. I think it was project three because I loved playing with colors. I think it's really fun to edit photos and really bring out certain colors. Color is what makes the photo what it is. I've always loved taking pictures and having photo shoots. I feel I have more interest in editing now and making every photo looks perfect and satisfying to me. I still love photography and I feel I am getting better at it and I have learned a lot more. I overall enjoy this class because I love the lowkeyness of it, the ability ot be creative and do my own thing, and the all the stuff a learn about photos. I hope to learn more about editing and techniques of taking good photos.

Project 5 - Basic PS and Camera Controls

In this project I went around Portland with my class and took photos of the four following categories: shallow depth of field, deep depth of field, blurred motion, and freeze motion. I learned about camera controls like aperture and shutter speed and applied them to the photos. I sued Light Room and Photoshop to edit the photos.

Project #4- Kaleidoscopes

In this project we took individual photos and cropped an edited them. The we created copies and changed the direction of them and put them all in a grid. The final product is a kaleidoscope of the same photo.

Project #4-Contrast and Balance

In this project we investigated the different contrasts and balances. We did it with color, texture, size,  and value. Here are my best photos:

Contrast in color

Contrast in size

Contrast in texture

Contrast in value

Symmetrical

Asymmertrical

Examples of contrast and balance

Radial balance

Symmetrical balance

Asymmetrical Balance

Contrast in scale
By: Russel Burden
Scale is when there are differences in sizes. Like the size of the mountain is a lot bigger than the size of the tree

Contrast in shape

Contrast in texture

Project #3 - Final Color Grids and Photos

Warm Colors

Best Edited:

Complementary

Cool Colors

Monochrome

Mood

Photos for mood:

Saturated and happy mood

Dull and dark mood

Grids:

I took this photo in my neighborhood and I really liked how interesting the structure and design of it was. I like the way it cam out in the grid.

A picture of a orange fire hydrant. I liked the way this looked in a grid and the different dimensions it gives. I think it looks really interesting and cool.

This is a photo of Rockefeller Center. I liked the design of the building and the the tall and skinniest of it. I thought it would look really interesting in a grid with the direction of the buildings going in all different directions.




This project was all about taking pictures of color. I learned about the different ways to use color and the moods I can convey through a picture. I took my photos and edited and manipulated them. I then took some and put them in a grid.

Projecrt 3 - Color Slideshow

Framing and Composition Best Edited Photos

These are my best edited photos for the framing and composition techniques. I walked around my city and took photos based on these techniques and then I edited them in a software called LightRoom. These are my favorite edited photos from the eight techniques. I learned about photography in this project and enjoyed doing it a lot/

Final Contact Sheet

In my photography class I studied framing compositions. There are eight total techniques: rule of thirds, frame within a frame, close up, bird's eye view, bug's eye view, leading lines, diagonals and filling the frame. I took my own framing and composition techniques and created this contact sheet in a software called LightRoom. Photographers use contact sheets to organize different photos. It is a good way to categorize photos so it is well organized and easy to follow. I created it by selecting all my favorite photos, giving them the correct captions based on the techniques, customizing the colors, dimensions, sizes and widths of everything. I think that using these framing techniques and also using contact sheets is important and I enjoyed learning about it.
