Assignment 5:My Carter's Mountain Roll

 
I like my subjects in the carter's mountainh roll especially of the one with the pumpkins and the mother with her child in the background. The one with the pupmkins doesn't have as strong of a center of intrest as the one with all the people with the mountains as the background. I also like my layers in both of the ones that I printed. I think my printing efforts were an 8 because I dodged and burned with both of my prints to try and stay focused on the main subjects, but I think I should have dodged a little more on the kid and mother so that the eye is drawn there first not the light area behind them.

Assignment 4:Positive Polaroid 'lift-off" prints

I think that for this process darker pictures would work better because the "lift-off " is so thin that if it is a really light picture you won't be able to see it very well, especially if you put it on glass. All characterisitcis of a good picture should still apply evenm if it is simple. My prints turned out really light so it is hard to see them, but I like my subjects in both.

Assignment 3:Sepia Prints

For my sepia prints my ideas were to take photos of animals and fall things because it would go well with sepia toning. I like how my pictures turned out, especially the one with Cassius playing in the leaves, I like how the leaves go with the sepia because they are dead leaves and usually look somewhat like sepia. I think that a good sepia print should have all the same interesting characteristics of a black and white one but should have more grays so that you can tone it easier. I think it would also look cool if you had a sepia background with the subject as a silhouette like the windmill one at the top.

Assignment 1: 5 Photographs that stand out

This image by Steve McCurry stands out to me because it is very well taken and you are immediatly drawn to her eyes. First the womans face is framed by her shawl and second the photographer did a good job making sure her eyes stood out and were the focus of the picture.


This photo by Jos Mcnally stands out because it is a portrait but most portraits just have the person. This portrait is in an unusual place but has a great sunset in the background. This portrait has many layers, a great background, and good lighting.

This picture by Joe Buissink is another good portrait. There is an intresting backgroun that adds to the picture and the point of view adds a different element. The point of view isn't just straight o like some portraits, in this one the photographer is looking up at her. There is light coming from behind the bride keeping the focus on her.


This image by Steve McCurry is a great photo even though there isn't a lot going on. I like that the two people are framed by a car window and that clearly the boy is the center of intrest. He is framednot only by the window but also by the one holding him. Also the rain on the car windows adds a different look making the picture stand out to me.

This image by Edward Curtis stands out to me because it captures the aspects of these peopls culture and it frames the people. The people are well framed by the two statues which represent part of their culture .
