Scanography

Dear Sister Esplin,
I want to apologize, it looks as if my blog was created late. But I wanted to let you know that I made a blog but I realized that I created it on my personal blog instead of my class blog. I apologize for my error, but I still wanted to show my work, but I understand the no-late work policy. If you would like to look at my original post here is the link: http://lifewithanewby.blogspot.com/2010/07/scanography.html

For this project and for all of these images I used an "Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner", to get the full on black I left the top up, and covered my objects with a cardboard box.

Additional Info: This photo all three images before are combined into this one. I put them on all different layers and masked accordingly. I wanted this image to look as if you were looking up and through the table and plate. I have some rough edges around the sandwich but I like the concept.

Fine Art Template

Date: 3 July 2010 3:16 p.m.

Location: Warm River, ID

Aperture: f/8

Shutter Speed:1/100 sec

I wanted to add this so that I could put it in my photobook, with the right dimensions and everything. I thought it would be pretty cool to include a pano as a fine art template.

Title: White Flowers

Camera: Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS

Date: 18 June 2010 9:49 p.m.

Location: Warm River, ID

Aperture: f/3.5

Date: 19 June 2010 4:19 p.m.

Location: Archer, ID

Aperture: f/8

Shutter Speed: 1/800 sec

Additional Info: Unedited

To set these up I want really good bokeh on the flowers so I got up really close and focus in on the flowers. For the landscape I wanted everything in focus so I did multi focus with a multi exposure. I liked how you can see how dark the clouds are then its light on the other side of the photo.

Photolusion

Title: Tetons

Camera: Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS

Date: 18 June 2010 8:31 p.m.

Location: St. Anthony, ID

Title: Sitting in a Ponderative Manner

Camera: Sony DSC-W330

Date: 21 June 2010 10:54 p.m.

Location: Rexburg, ID

Aperture: f/2.7

Shutter Speed: 1/5 sec

Additional Info: Unedited

For the first picture, this is a blended photolusion. I wanted Jess to look as if she were sitting on the Grand Teton, and it fit perfectly! I matched colored her with the Tetons as the source. Then I masked out the ares that I did not want (chair, shoes, etc..), and then I changed the levels.

Title: Opposite Day

Camera: Sony DSC-W330

Date: 21 June 2010 11:17 p.m.

Location: Rexburg, ID

Aperture: f/3.5

Shutter Speed: 1/8 sec

Additional Info: Altered levels

For this picture I wanted it to seem as if it was an opposite day, I put the feet on the keys as if she were playing and the hands on the pedals as if waiting for the right time to push on one. I set this up by taking my camera off of the burst setting and off of the twilight setting and changed it back to my regular settings of multi exposure and multi focus.

Title: Rain on my Parade

Camera: Sony DSC-W330

Date: 21 June 2010 10:00 p.m.

Location: Rexburg, ID

Aperture: f/2.7

Shutter Speed: 1/8 sec

Additional Info: Added an Unsharpen Mask, and a Gausian Blur.

I know this is not really a photolusion, but I wanted it include it somewhere. I wanted this shot to look like it was pouring and it was just on one person instead of everywhere. I added an unsharpen mask then duplicated the layer and added the gausian blur and I masked out the ares where I wanted it to be in focus. I set up the shot with 3 different point and shoots, so that I would have multiple angles and at least one of them would get a descent shot. With this camera I put it on scene selection of landscape so that it would get everything in focus, because I really wanted that water in focus instead of blurry. And then a car just passed us so that is what gave off the reddish light which I thought was a nice effect.

This assignment crept up on me, everyday, I thought about it but things kept on coming up so I procrastinated. Everything but the sunset was taken in my bathroom. The first and third photos were shish kabob sticks that I lit up with matches. The first one I moved the camera around while the third one I had Jess "paint" circles with them. The last picture was two lights that you punch to turn on, and again I had Jess "paint" a heart while I tried to get a different angle on it. The sunset was from when we went to Bannack, it probably does not relate to light, but I thought it looked good in this category.

Photo a Day Template

In the template I designed, I wanted it to look as if it were a calendar. It was nice since I started on the 1st of June. I used the dimensions of 5540 px wide x 2145 px high that were given in the instructions. Then I inserted a solid fill layer, made shapes, added text, and that basically made my template. To add the pictures I put each individual photo above the shape that I wanted it to go in. Next, I sized it down around the size it needed to be, right clicked the layer and choose 'create clipping mask' . Then I could really see what was inside the shape, and size it appropriately. I continued this until each shape was filled. Then I added the text for each number. To post on the blog, I sized it down to the long side at 700 px.

This week things were going crazy so sometimes I would forget to take pictures until right before I went to bed. I used my point and shoot for all of these pictures and would only change the setting of the focus, whether it was multi focus or spot. I love the photo of the rainbow at West Yellowstone, we walked out of the PlayMill Theatre and it was beautiful! It was a double but I did not get a descent photo where they both looked good. I also like the picture of Kirk setting up the slackline for FHE, where the slackline is out of focus but he is.

Location: Rexburg, ID

Aperture: f/5.7

Shutter Speed: 1/125 sec

In this shot I had it on normal program, and I was trying to get some good action shots so I had it on multi focus so that it would have a fast shutter speed, however I was not as successful as I had hoped. But here I matched the color from a picture that I really liked the color in where in the other in seemed drained/ less vibrant.

Title: Determination

Camera: Sony DSC- W330

Date: 28 May 2010 8:19 p.m.

Location: Rexburg, ID

Aperture: f/5.7

Shutter Speed: 1/60 sec

Here I think it seems like a rough edge of the original blue, I turned the fuzziness option all the way up to 200, yet it still seems as if the edges wanted the original instead of the replaced yellow.

Camera: Sony DSC- W330

Date: 16 May 2010 4:56 p.m.

Location: Rexburg, ID

Aperture: f/2.8

This I feel was just a minor edit, Taylor had a tiny red spot right below her left eye. I used the clone tool to get rid of it and blend it in with the rest of her skin. I added a vingette and altered the levels as well.

Macro Abstract

Title: Candle Holder
Camera: Sony DSC- H50
Date: 21 May 2010 12:54 p.m.
Location: Bannack, MT
Aperture: f/2.7
Shutter Speed: 1/5

For this shot I had it on shutter priority because aperture priority was giving me problems at the time. I got really close so that I could get the angle that I wanted of the handle.

Title: Texture/ Window Blind
Camera: Sony DSC- H50
Date: 21 May 2010, 1:25 p.m.
Location: Bannack, MT
Aperture: f/7.1
Shutter Speed: 1/25 sec

This shot was taken inside of the school. It was a window blind that made the room darker than it was. The camera was set to aperture priority.

Edited Title: Counted Cross Stitch Handle

To get this look I had as the first layer the Handle, the overlay layer the Texture and I masked out areas where I wanted the texture to be less dominant. Then I added a layer to do a vignette, for a more finished look.

Portraits

Title: Farmer Lucas

Camera: Sony DSC-W330

Date: 21 May 10:24 a.m.

Location: Dubois, ID

Aperture: f/8

Shutter Speed: 1/125 sec

Additional Info: I cropped this image and added two adjustment layers, one for curves and one for levels. His face was too dark originally so I altered it just a tiny bit to brighten it a little.

We had a lot of fun in this backyard, it had so many things. I liked the angle of having the tractor take up so much space to lead to Lucas's face. Again I had it on spot metering focused in on Lucas then moved my camera to get it where I

wanted it.

Date: 21 May 2010 10:24 a.m.

I thought that this would be an interesting shot. We were at a warehouse and there happened to be a hole in the glass, I liked the texture and amount of detail that was in it. I had my camera on spot metering and just changed what it needed to be focused on for each shot.
