Assignment 20 - Its so Surreal!

By: Anna McNaught

By: Mattie Brass

When I first looked at the surreal photograph by Anna McNaught I fell in love with it. I loved the idea of capturing a woman looking out into the universe instead of what you would normally see like clouds and land. The second photograph I loved the more I studied it. The more and more I looked at it all the lines seemed to blend together and I fell in love with the idea. 

Assignment #19 - One Fabulous Photo

Assignment #18 - Will The Real Aaron Siskind Please Stand Up?

What inspired me the most while looking at Aaron Siskind's work was how he saw something super simple like a pattern or an objected and captured it in it's most simplest form. But when he edited the photo's and made them black and white they sort of became a more interesting like theres this whole new story behind them. I wanted to do the same so I looked around for simple objects or patterns and this is what I found.

Assignment #13 - Teresa Halton Posting

Exposure: 1/250 sec; f/8; ISO 1600.
My F-stop was at a good setting because it balanced the amount of sunlight and focused the picture perfectly.



Exposure: 1/60 sec; f/4.5; ISO 1600
In order for this picture to turn out better I would've needed to change my f-stop to be f/22 to control the amount of sunlight in the photo and lower my ISO to be from 100-200 so that it's more sensitive to the amount of light that was let in.

Assignment #6 - Polar Opposites

A huge list of ideas come to my head when I think of polar opposites. Fire and ice, black and white, happy and sad, etc. But one that stuck out to me was boy and girl. Boys and girls are complete opposites of each other and I wanted to come up with a way to show that. I thought about doing a picture of a guy and girl doing something or dressed a certain way but everything I thought of didn’t sound good. I had my dogs with me while I was thinking of ways to portray polar opposites when It hit me. My dogs are opposite genders and different breeds. I wanted to some how capture the different breeds so I decided to take a picture of there faces and crop them in half and put them side by side. My dog luna is half husky half black lab so she has one blue eye and one brown. Since my other dog Capo, who is a german shepherd has two brown eyes I thought it would be unique to crop Luna’s brown eye out and accentuate her blue eye. I put the photo in lightroom and brighten her eye a bit. I also put the picture of capo in and made his fur and eye a little more clear. When i finished touching the photos up, I put them in photoshop and put them side by side and I thought It turned out really great. Even though it wasn’t my original idea of having a boy and a girl, I’m very happy with this idea instead because I thought It came out great.

Assignment #7 - What Color Are You?

When you meet me you quickly learn that soccer runs my life, in a good way of course. I have some what of a hard exterior and i'm not someone who is very open. But once you get to know me you know that I'm a huge softy. The color and image of the photo I captured represents my interior. The part of me people don't see. 

Assignment #5 - Texture

Assignment #4 - Composition

Fill The Frame

I feel that this picture I have taken has great composition because it captures the simplicity of nature and draws you in.

Leading Lines

Background

Avoid The Middle

We tend to take pictures and place of main object in the center so when I was taking this I wanted to focus my subject of to the side and wanted to make it a candid photo so that it didn't seem like it was planned. 

Simplify The Scene 

This picture too has great composition as well because I took my dog and and captured her in her most simplest form.
