December Moon

I just thought I would share this photo with everyone.

this is the original photo:

using my workflow....first, i cropped the photo in CS2 and changed the coloring to directive positive in lightroom and adjusted the coloring to add more punch to the photo.

next I went into CS2 and using the clone tool...erased the condensation bubbles on the photo....and saved one version with and one version without the condensation.

next i took the photo back into lightroom and adjusted the fill light to make sure the foreground model was properly exposed.

then i adjusted the highlights, shadowing, and light and dark areas of the photo to increase overall drama to the photo.

lastly, I increased the contrast to the photo to add interest and intensity.

here are my two results...one with condensation, and one without. (the first and second photos are my editing versions.)

Why do I take photographs??

I take photographs because I love picking out the mundane that goes unnoticed everyday and freezing it in one frame.....that is able to convey how things so ordinary and unappealing can be so intensely wrought with history and beauty....and being able to show that unique beauty to others in a way that makes them realize how individual and beautiful the everyday can be.

Who is my audience?

Mainly myself....but also anyone who who appreciates unique beauty and individuality....I use photographs as a history of my emotional development.....rather then a depiction of history itself...the photos I take and how I take them and edit them is directly related to what emotions i'm feeling at the time or what changes are going on in my life.

Why do I want to share?

I enjoy sharing my photos because of the reactions I get out of people by viewing them....I also appreciate constructive criticism so that I may improve my photographic technique. Showing there is beauty in some of the most disastrous situations and places, all you have to do is look.....not all is lost...there is beauty in everything...however small and unimportant it may seem to the accusing eye.

David Claveau Week 8 - Editing photos

Adding a spot of color to a black and white photo. Of course, I had to make the photo B & W first.

David Claveau Week 6 - making mistakes

Subject Blur - the subject of the picture, the swimmer, is blurred do to her motion, not mine.







Motion blur - the background of this photo is blurred because I moved the camera with the athlete to keep her in focus, which resulted in a cool motion blur with the background.







Depth of field






Overexposure - the snow is washed out.








Underexposure - It is dark and grainy.







Wrong White balance

I have been putting up some old photos on facebook recently, but I shared them on flickr, because I don't think everyone can see them on there. Here are some of my favorites that I have come across.

Lomoish Trees

This is fun! A Lomo is a cheap plastic camera with a terrible lens, like a Holga. The crazy thing is that some of the photographs from these cameras are evocative and strong. Search Google for Holga and Lomo if you are curious.

Assignment 5: Camera reviews

Strength:
Great value for low price.
User friendly interface with sample pictures along with options to show what effect that change will have on a picture.
Highly compatible with Windows Vista.

Weakness:
No live LCD viewfinder while taking photos, requires the user to use the eyehole.
No internal focus motor, be sure to get a lens with a motor in it.
AC power cord costs $100.

Reviews:

http://www.dcviews.com/reviews/Nikon-D40x/Nikon-D40x-review.htm

It is meant to work seamlessly with Windows Vista and in their tests, worked very well. As the D40 was just becoming a very popular camera, D40x was released only 4 months later. The biggest difference being in the change from 6 megapixels(D40) to 10.2 megapixels(D40x).

http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/nikon/d40x-review/

Costs $200 more than the D40 but with very good upgrades, questions why Nikon ever even released the D40. Later mentions that Nikon probably did it just to give consumers options and price variance. Size is small but not too small, like the Olympus E410
and Canon Rebel XTI, and has better grip as well.

http://photo.net/equipment/nikon/D40

Smallest, cheapest, yet still great quality. I find this one to be written the best for viewing basic statistics on the camera and comparing to the D40. Points out the fact that the lens is great for close ups but not long enough to do pictures like wildlife.

Why I love taking photographs

Why I love taking photographs.

There are many reasons why I love to take photos. First, I like to take photos because I enjoy it. I thoroughly enjoy taking photographs. It is something that excites me; it’s as if I am capturing memories, which will last forever. I like to share my photos with others, so that they may capture the feeling of the picture(s), or the story behind the photo. Each photo has its own story, and that’s why I feel photography is an art. It can also be a way of expressing ones self, and inspiring others to do the same! Photography makes me happy, even if I’m the only one looking at the photos; it gives me a sense of creativity and perseverance. I encourage others to do the same. Photography is not just a hobby to me, it’s also an art.

Week 12 Project by Kathy Adams

Sharing Photographs:

Why do I take photographs?

The world is an exciting place to live. The Lord has created many beautiful and interesting things for us to enjoy and I have an unquenchable desire to see all I can see of it. I want to take pictures of these things so I won’t ever forget their beauty. I search for beauty in the every day things of life, or in things that people won’t, or can’t, take time to see.

Sometimes if I am inspired to do so, I will edit my photographs in Photoshop to make them look like water colors.

Some day I would like to make a cd of different pictures I have made and put King James Bible Scriptures with them. I have already had offers from family and friends that they would buy these cds from me. I’m not sure I could charge for them, but I’d sure like to make at least one cd for them.

Who is my audience?

I take pictures of these beautiful things not only for my own benefit, but I have friends who are either too busy with little children and other friends who are too old and/or crippled to get out to enjoy these things any more and others who just desire to see what I see each day. Most times they enjoy seeing my world as I see it.

Why do I want to share?

I want to share because it makes me feel good to bring a spark of joy to those I love. We watch the news and hear only the bad and ugly because that is what sells, or so they tell me.

I want to show people that there is good also; that life is worth the living and that it can be bright, colorful, beautiful and joyful. It is where we choose to put our focus, it is our choice. I want to prove to them that they can find beautiful anywhere; they may just have to look for it a little harder at times.

Week 12: Sharing Photographs

I like sharing photographs with my family and friends. The best photos are the unusual ones and places I have visited. It's fun to see similar photos taken in different lighting or angles. Everything looks different from one season to the next. It's like the winter in Alaska, just when you forgot what grass looked like it's spring time. My photographs are in FLICKR: http://www.flickr.com/photos/14091725@N02/

WEEK 12

My family & friends are the audiences of all the pictures I take.
I don't think , I have missed a picture yet, that I took, that was not sent.
No matter what it was..be a building or a flower or whatever appealed to me at the moment.
I sent it thru e-mails only...
I was sharing to them ,the passion I have in taking those photos.

Now I have learned thru my class in photography that I can expand my audiences.
check it out ...for I have posted alot of pictures...smile!!!!

November 30, 2007 -- Sunrise

It was beautiful!!

Week 12

When I take pictures I like to share them with my friends and family. I like to share to show them the fun times I've had and it also helps me remember things.
I share a lot of the pictures of my friends, family and I on Myspace. Other pictures of just everyday things I like to share on Flickr and Deviantart.
I've had a Flickr account for awhile now, but I just started uploading pictures to it recently, it's a pretty easy way to organize and share your photos.

Week 12: Sharing Photographs

I like sharing photographs that interest me. I have had a flickr account for a couple of months now and I have some amazing photos on there that I took my time in taking. I enjoy sharing photos with others so I can get others to see my amazing talent. I have been taking photos for a couple of years now and the more I do it the better I get. My mom has inspired me to take more photos. She is a dog musher and I have been taking photos of the dogs which is a good subject to use because of them always moving and it has helped me to learn the settings of my camera. My mom has her own buisness with her photographs and some day I would like to sell my photos. The name of her buinsess is Lead Dog Graphic Arts. You can find her work at www.leaddoggraphics.com
