Project 6- Multiple Images Techniques

Multiple Exposure Images:

This is a multiple exposure image of an elephant statue in our house layered over a photo of bright yellow colored leaves.  To edit it, I increased the whites and boosted the yellow of the leaves.  
This is a black and white multiple exposure image of a cello layered over a figurine of a bass player.  I attempted this photo as a comparison of two musical subjects and was not entirely satisfied with my cropping and clarity of the photo.  However, it was fun testing out this method of multiple exposure techniques.



High-Dynamic Range (HDR) Image:

This is an HDR photo of my street during the evening.  I took two photos with my phone in the same position to get the two exposures of the scene.  In Photoshop and Lightroom and boosted the saturation and vibrance of the colors to create a very colorful image.  
Panoramic Image:

This panoramic photo of a freeway bridge was taken during a class walking field and stitched together in Photoshop.  I edited the photo to have a bluish tint, boosted the contrast, darkened the blacks, and lightened the whites.

Project 4- Balance and Contrast

For this project, we took photos of instances that illustrate balance and contrast.

Radial Balance- This photo is of the underside of a lamp.

Symmetrical Balance-  This photo is of an African mask my family received as a gift.
Texture Contrast-  This photo is contrasting the smooth metal with the rough stone underneath it.
Color Contrast- This photo contrasts the complimentary colors red and green of two plants growing with each other along a fence.

Project 4- Diptychs and Triptychs

For this project we made various diptychs and triptychs to contrast different scenes and textures.  Many of the photos are edited (cropped, saturated, etc.) to emphasize the comparison or contrast between the photo they're paired with.

Balance and Contrast

This photo illustrates a strong contrast in scale because the massive clouds make the house look tiny.

In this photo, there is a clear contrast in texture between the rough cliff and smooth ocean surface.

This photo illustrates radial balance because of how the design of the tower stretches out from the middle.

This photo of the Yangpu Bridge shows symmetry because it mirrors itself across the line down the middle.
