Finished project

Final Works From Boston

I finished up all my photoshopping of my big project photos from Boston, here's what I got:

After the Trip

Trip Into Boston

I came back from Boston with about seventy photos of the cityscape and buildings. Things that I kept an eye out for while walking through the city was, unique architecture, big sky scrapers, and buildings that together would make a good city scape. Here's a glimpse of some of the photographs I was able to get in Boston:

 

Trip to Boston

Big Project 

John litch

For my Big project in photography, I took the train into Boston to take pictures of the city. I did this one saturday a couple of weekends ago and took about 50 pictures.  Currently I am deciding which pictures to use in my final, as well as photoshopping. So far my big project is going very well 

NATURAL LIGHT PORTRAIT 

For this project we learned how to take high quality portraits with natural lighting. My class and I used big poster boards to direct the light the way we wanted to get to manipulate the natural light for the best results. Learning to take natural light portraits is useful because through doing this my class and I learned how to balance light better.

Big Project pre post

For the fourth quarter our big project is going to be very time consuming but rewarding. Our class has to pick a photographer and emulate their style as well research the photographer. In the end we will have 10 final works. The artist I chose is Andrew Prokos. He's famous for his photos of architecture, buildings, and entire cityscapes. I plan on emulating Prokos style by photographing the architecture in Boston.

Urban photography

Urban Photography 

For this project we had to take pictures of buildings, but also incorporate interesting shadows. Out of the two I took I like the second one better because of the shadows. The building goes from darker to lighter from left to right and it blends very well. While I was taking these photos I was thinking about the rule of thirds and filling the frame. If I were to change anything in this project I would want to take photos of a building with more interesting architecture.   

Rural Photos

Rural Photography

For this project we had to take photos of rural areas. I chose to do both of my photos of decayed, run down shacks because when I think of rural I think of an area that was once prosperous, but has since become desolate. In this project I learned how to take good photos outside, and how to look for good shadows.
