Self Portrait: Reflection




For my reflection photo I took a little container and filled it with water then got my reflection in it on the opposite side. I cropped out the background things that were distracting and focused it on my reflection.

Refraction Series

 For my first refraction image, I adjusted the levels of white and gray. Then, I added saturation to emphasize the dislocation of the straw.
The second image I did is one of my glasses at home, behind it is a dish dryer and below it is wrapping paper designed with candy canes. The first thing I did was add saturation and make the photo brighter. Then, I cropped out some thingsd that were distracting attention from the glass itself.
 
  My third photo showing refraction is a glass with three peices of chalk, in front of wallpaper and a bottom design. I added more color to make the twisted colors on the glass stand out.
The last refraction image I took was a wine glass again, with a straw. This shot of the wine glass also shows it's shadow being warped.

Halloween Shoot

My Halloween photo is of Sara at the memorial. I added an outer glow to her body and lowered the opacity to make her look almost invisible. I also, added a cooling filter to make her skin seem really pale and dead.

Landscapes: 3 Times of Day

 This is my first landscape image that I took, in the morning around 7 am. I took some of the saturation away to make it look more dull and have a cool filterish look. I also, added a cyan filter to draw attention away from the mulch, so the leaf takes the color.

 My second photo was during night time around 7pm. I used flash because I missed the sunset. I added contrast to have the green stand out. Then, I adjusted the levels so you couldn't see the mulch in the background.
The final photo I chose is the one I took at noon. The lighting was perfect and the mulch in the background is actually visible. First, I blurred the leaves behind the main one and adjusted the brightness so the yellow on the edges of the leaf would stand out.

Toys (indoor)

My outdoor photo was taken with a silver sparkly background and a mirror reflection, which i cropped out. I added a black&white filter and adjusted the contrast to make his shadow more clarified. To edit the little spots of dirt on his face, I used the spot healing brush.
