Since I was absent the day the dance workshop happened I wasn't able to learn anything from it but I enjoyed taking pictures of Folklorico's last big show they do every year. I was able to to capture great raw raw moments of the dancers doing what they enjoy. They showcased they're effort through hours of practicing and it showed on the stage. Posing wise I wasn't able to get them to purposely pose but on these images they posed without realizing. Dance photography is similar to sports because both require fast movements so it was a fun challenge to take pictures of it.

John Herschel invented the cyanotype process in 1842. The chemicals that is used for the process are ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. It evolve in to what is now the blue prints of architecture. To make a negative we had to open the image in photoshop then we made it into black and white. After that we inverted the image to print it on a plastic thing. For the cyanotype we had to blend the drops that Mrs. Moncure put on our paper then we had to blend it evenly to the paper. after this we waited for it to dry so that we could place the negative at the top. Once the negative is placed we then put the glass and finally take it the to sun to make this image at the bottom. When its dry we take it to a dark room to put it on the chemicals that I previously talked about to make the image visible enough.
Knolling is when you arrange patterns with different objects or things to create an image shown below. I'm neutral when it came to this project I was able to get it done. Coming up with different concepts for all these wasn't difficult at all you just arrange them without thinking much of it until something decent is formed.
I learned how to take pictures of a fire station and how interesting it could be. My favorite part of photographing there was the amount of how each firefighter goes through on a daily basis and kind of document it as they do it. I actually forgot to apply his flare onto my images because I was too focussed in doing my own type of capturing a photograph. It would be interesting to go to a college campus and have a tour around the campus to take pictures as well walk along. It would be a fun activity to do in my opinion. Many college campuses are very nice with their architecture and landscape.
I learned how to use photoshop with using a photo sequence type of format to create this. It might be a bit off but I tried making it as much as a gif as possible. It failed but it's the thought that counts I'll try to do a better gif next time. I learned how to combine the images together. What I did to create this time lapse is set the camera to a time lapse setting of 4 seconds per minute for 42 minutes. Once the 45 minutes were up I imported the video to imovie to give it a title and some background music to create this piece. It was pretty simple. I like how it turned out at the end but the waiting was the worst part because we had to wait for 45 minutes until it finished. I would love to do this project when the sun is either at sunrise or sunset at the beach. It would also be cool if i did a time lapse at a busy street with someone standing in the center while everybody is moving constantly. I definitely learned how to do a time lapse on a digital camera. These pictures were taking a random places around Balboa Park. I don't know where exactly each image was taken because it was my first time exploring the area. I learned about a still-life photographer who added "drops of poison" onto his pictures. He was able to get away with it back in the day because no one really payed close attention to the photographs unlike today. It won't really affect my work because it involves a lot of strategic planning. I walked around the park and just took pictures of the things that looked interesting. What I enjoyed about this trip was how we had free time to wonder around and do our own this in this nice park. I gained more of an interest in taking spontanueos photos.
I chose ESPN magazine because it was the only sports magazine that I could find a variety of designs of. I found it easier to recreate their style of magazine. I liked how my portrait turned out decent. What I did to recreate this cover is using photoshop to cut and past the logos from google images. I also did a layer mask so that my portrait background could be black. The font style was one of the ones from photoshop in color white. It would be great if I played soccer professionally but that's almost impossible so I don't have my hopes high. |
I took this photo with a canon rebel xs. This photo was taken in Hilton San Diego Airport/Harbor Island during my cousin's 15 photoshoot. It's my favorite that I took over the summer because I didn't expect it to look decent. I was just taking them for fun since the professional photographer didn't mind. Out of all the photos that I took during the photoshoot I think this one was better.
