Shadows

After getting off the bus, I found this pigeon.  I thought the shadows
formed from the pigeon's body were interesting.  (I saw another dead pigeon
next to it, but it was too flattened to include in the photo).

This shadow is of a hand.  It looks like brown sugar though.

This is off someone's legs.  I didn't really like the lighting of the photo,
so I made it black and white.

I like this photo because the shadow cuts through
an interesting wall paper.

This photo is different than the rest because most of the picture
is covered with shadows.  There are small flecks of light on the flowers.

This shadow was formed by three people.

Light was reflected off of the pot in this photo.  Like the coloring
the light on this type of wood.

This photo is also covered mostly in shadows.
The light bulb stands out among the
shadows.

Second Series of Ten City/Nature

I added focus on the center piece of bark coming off of the trunk.

I thought the type of bark on the trees looked really unique. 

This picture is of a bicycle seat.  I thought it look cool, and it shows
part of the city.

This is another photo of the bark on a tree.  Once again, I added
focus to a specific part of the trunk.

I really like this photo because this changes how you would normally
look ate telephone poles, buildings, or traffic lights.  It looks like the pole
is horizontal.

The tree is dark against the sky.
I like how the branches look.

I thought these shoes looked pretty cool. 

The focus in on the bark, the truck is blurred in the background

I like this photo because it is unique from the other photos.
It is a lot more vibrant than the other photos.

I added focus on the tree.  I really like how the bark looks against
the leaves.  

This is of flowers hanging down from a tree.  The flowers are in the foreground,
the tree is darkened and blurred.

Second draft plan for series

Take photos without specific ideas in mind.  Maybe have:

1) motion in the photo
2) people
3) nature theme

10 photo series

I added zoom focus on the person walking.  I purposely took the
photo when she was about to take a step. 

I made everything black and white except for the flower to add
focus on the flower.

I added focus on the flower.  Also, someone else's camera is in the
corner of the picture.

The color was toned down, except of the light.

I added focus on the motorcycle.  I like how the color is bright yellow,
but everything around it has duller colors.

This is of a carpet salesman.  I added a little bit of focus on the carpets and the
briefcase.

Planning 3 Series

1. Edit various aspects of photos to portray and embellish certain moods/emotions

2. Try taking more nature photos.  These would have a "calm" mood.

3. Try to take photos at unusual angles

Negative

I made the photo black and white,  I also adjusted the exposure.  That way,
there is negative space around Chris.  

This is of a window pane.  This a more simplistic photo.
I adjusted the exposure to add negative space around the subject: the frame of the window.

This is a photo that I took when my hand was over the lends.  I made the photo black and white.  I also darkened my hand.  

This is of the trees outside of Drew.  The sky is the negative space.
I really like how the branches look against the sky.

This is similar to my other photo of the tree branches against the sky.
I changes the coloring to have a sepia tone.

This photo is like the one of my hand over the lends.  I had the same effects.
The only difference is the texture of the trees verses my hands.  I feel
like they both have the same feeling.   

The negative space in this photo make the shape of a face.
I increased the exposure, as well as made it black and white.

This is the simplest photo in this series.  The sky is the negative space.
I tried to make this photo have a calm feeling.

Experimental Style

I edited this is Picmonkey.  I added a texture overlay, and I changed
the coloring.

This is the first of two photos that I took of Scooty.  It was hard to
get him to allow me to take a picture of him, but once I was
able to I noticed that he has unique features for portraits.  In this
photo he was more hesitant to have his photo taken.

Scooty had three people trying to take his photo when I
took this one of him.  He was about to try to get out of the frame. 

I edited this one to look like it has a "horror" theme.
I edited the color and exposure.  

This is a very edited photo of Stefan.  I cropped the photo, as well as edited
the color, and I added a dirty texture.

This photo is the same as the other, except it is less edited.   I has
more exposure, but it doesn't has a texture on top.
