Panning

I used a 1/30 shutter speed, because it kept her fairly clear, but the background still blurry.

Photoshop Self Portrait

I played around with layers of the photo. I added a photo of a camera, erased the background, duplicated it, and changed the properties of the duplicates. This shows that I like photography a lot through the cameras surrounding me.

Scavenger Hunt/Studio Portrait

     I liked using the digital camera more. The film camera was interesting, but there was way more room for error, and that made me nervous. Plus, I like that I can get colors with my film camera.

This is my aunt's dog, Molly. The detail in her fur and in certain sections of the carpet is amazing. She was lying on the floor while I was trying to take her picture, and this angle ended up being the best.

Amanda and I were taking our pictures, and we found these Christmas lights in the closet. We decided to use them, and then I edited it a little to put more emphasis on her eyes than her arms/head. I'm very happy with how focused this picture is, as well.

Solarization

In the original image, the background was cream/white, and the camera was black. The solarization caused the background to become dark, and the camera was outlined in white.

First enlarger time: 7 seconds

First developer time: 20 seconds

Second enlarger time: 2 seconds

With the longer developer time I tried before, the glow continued more into the bottom left corner, as we see a little in this one. The less time caused it to be darker.

I believe this process could be used if you want an outline on your subject or you want to make a creepy kind of glow.

High Contrast

This photo had very high contrast. The blacks came out dark, and the white matches the border perfectly. Both the subject and the enlarger caused this. The book is black and white, and the sheet (background) is white, but, with the wrong enlarger settings, it could have come out gray in some areas. I love this photo because this is one of my favorite books, and it turned out so perfectly.

The contrast in this photo wasn't as great as I wanted it to be. The black sheet (background) is a tad gray, and the white isn't as bright as I would like, but, all in all, it turned out fairly well. The subject was black and white, and if I had changed my enlarger settings, it may have come out with darker blacks and lighter whites. I like this photo because it came out almost exactly how I wanted, but I like my other print more.

Dodge and Burn

I thought dodging and burning was difficult and complicated, but it caused some people's photos to look very cool. I didn't enjoy it very much because I didn't have a good photo to use and it was a little confusing. I may use it if we do film again, and if I get a good photo to use it with.

Dodge: 10

Burn: 5

Full: 6

I made the trees lighter (dodged) to focus more on Andrea (who was burned) as the main subject as the photo, but there was a fairly fine line between where I was dodging and burning.

A#3-Depth of Field Photos

Aperture & Shutter: Unsure

This picture has a higher f-stop, as you can tell from the fact that the leaves are all in focus, along with the feet. It causes contrast from the leaves to the feet, because the leaves are basically a pattern, whereas the shoes have a smooth texture.

Aperture & Shutter: Unsure

This picture, unlike the previous one, has a much lower f-stop. This causes the front light to be in focus, and the farther back you go, the less focused each light is, until they are all just bokeh.
