Creative Controls - Depth of Field

This is a portrait of Maggie that shows shallow depth of field, where the main focus is on maggie and the background is more blurry. This photograph was taken at Chapman Park.
This photograph show shallow depth of field as well.
This photograph was taken in my backyard and it shows shallow depth of field. I really enjoyed this photograph because I like the specs of light in the background and I liked the composition of the photograph as well.
This is another example of shallow depth of field, taken in my backyard.

Assignment 5: Creative Controls - Motion

Effective Camera Shake - This photo is taken of my brother Jack, and I took this photo by putting my camera settings to a slower shutter speed and then moving my camera quickly from right to left 
Freeze Action - This photo is taken at Director Park of Maggie, as she has just landed in the water, after jumping. For this photo, I set my camera setting to a much faster shutter speed, so that I would be able to get a clear action shot.
Freeze Action - This photo was taken of Maggie at Laurelhurst Park, as she was jumping out of the swing. I put my camera setting to a faster shutter speed to get a clear picture of her in mid air.  
Total Motion - This photo shows total motion because everything in this photograph is moving, including my camera. I set my camera setting to a slow shutter speed and took the photo as I was moving my camera, as well as the Max moving.
Panning - I took this photo of Maggie as she was swinging and moved my camera in the same direction, and at a similar speed as she was moving. 
Slow Motion - This photo was taken at Pioneer Square, and I put my camera settings to a slower shutter speed and took the picture looking down. 
Slow Motion - This photo is taken of my brother, Jack and I did the same thing previously, where I put my camera settings to a slower shutter speed and had him move his lacrosse stick quickly. 
Slow Motion - This photo was taken at Laurelhurst park of maggie running by.

Project 7 - Photo Effects




This photo was taken on Vista bridge overlooking the city. I used the effect, tilt shift to make the photo look like a model of Portland. I was able to focus in on a certain part of the street, by using the
effect of tilt shift.




This photograph was from one of our previous field trips to Vista bridge. I took this photo towards the end of the bridge off to the side of an old looking tree, which worked perfectly for my daguerreotype photo. The effects I used gave the photo a different older looking and feel. A daguerreotype is a photographic process invented by Louis-Jacques Mande Daguerre.


This photo was taken downtown of one of the buildings. I edited this photo to make the photograph look like it was from a comic book.

Project 6 - Multiple Exposures, Panorama, and HDR

         This is combination of two photos I took, and made them into one multiple exposure photo. One photo taken at Pacific Northwest College of Art is a photo of a watercolor painting. The other taken at Washington Park, and is a photo of a patch of ivy, which is the background layer. I edited the photograph of the watercolor painting, by boosting the colors to make it brighter and making it the top layer.

          This next photo was taken at my house of my view. This is a panoramic photo of multiple images I took of my backyard and merged into a single panoramic photo. I edited the photo to make the sky a little more blue and I boosted the clarity as well so that there were more detail in the clouds. 
      This photograph is also taken at my house. This photograph is a combination of two photos that I took. One photo focusing in on the detail of the trees and the other photo taken, focusing in on the clouds and sky. I was able to merge the two photos into an HDR photograph and boosted the contrast to edit it, as well as, the clarity and saturation.
