Photo Effects


This is my example of a daguerrotype. A daguerrotype is a photograph taken by an early process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor.


This is my example of tilt shift made in photoshop. Tilt shift is the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for , often for simulating a miniature scene

Multiple Image Techniques

This is my favorite example of multiple exposures. I took a picture of a plant and a picture of my deck and layered the two over eachother.

This is my example of a panorama. I took this picture down by Fox Towers by taking multiple pictures of this scene as I panned my camera across, and then combining them in photoshop.

This is my example of using HDR. I took an overexposed, underexposed and regularly exposed photo of my backyard and then combined them in photoshop.

Best of Motion Assignment

This is my favorite picture showing camera shake. Its a picture of the fountain and plants at pioneer place. To get this photo, I got down at eye level with the fountain and shook my camera from side to side as I was taking the photo. I think this is the strongest example of camera shake because of the blurred lines it created when taking the picture, which makes it more dynamic.
This is my best example of freeze action. To get this photo, I had Ava turn from side to side and flip her hair around while I took the picture. I think this is my strongest example of freeze action because i like how her hair creates a sort of frame for the rest of the picture, and it follows rules of thirds well.
This is my favorite picture showing panning. To get this picture of the biker, I moved the camera with the biker as they were moving, to capture their motion as well as the background. I like this picture the best because of the element of abstractness you first see, and it how it looks a little like a painting at first glance. 
This is my best example of really slow shutter speed. To take this picture I set my camera on a tripod outside at night and took a picture of my brother walking back and forth across the driveway with a shutter speed of about 8 seconds. I like this one the most because of how it captured his feet in different positions as he was walking, and how they stand out against the driveway.
