Angle Assignment

This is a picture of my friend Janay. I don't know why, but I had noooo difficulty with this assignment unlike all the other ones. Once I stepped outside the classroom, I had so many ideas and this picture is just one of them. This was a good experiment with angles because I had Janay crouch on the floor with the picture in my head of someone climbing up a building. When I got to the computer, I flipped the picture and it now looks like Janay is climbing up something. I wanted to photoshop a building into it so it would look like she was using super powers to climb up the building, but I couldn't find the perfect one so I decided to leave it like this. Overall, this turned out really good and helped me with angles.

3 Landscapes

I actually took these landscapes earlier in junior year. I wasn't satisfied with the flower pictures that I took for this project so I went through my old files on my computer and came across these 3. The first one I took was from a trip I had to Arizona. It's one of my favorite sights to see everytime I go up there. There's this certain spot on our way up there where the sand is just so smooth, you just want to get out of your car and just mess it all up. I love how it looks "summery" and the sand looks extra brown and it looks good with the blue sky. The second picture that I took is at seaport village at Marina Bay. This one is pretty special to me because I always go there to think. The water looks AMAZING because it's not just one shade of blue. The rocks are also different colors which vary from light brown to gray. The third picture I took is from the top of the ferris wheel at the del mar fair. I took this last summer and I love the way the lights pop out and you see the motion from the rides. There are hundreds of people and if you really think about it, it's amazing how you can capture so many lives in just one photo.

I photoshopped each and every one of these and its pretty cool how much photoshop can change a picture.

Landscape Written Assignment - Joseph Bellows

I chose to do my landscape written assignment on this photograph taken by Joseph Bellows. I had a number of pictures to choose from that all caught my eye, but when I saw this particular picture with the buildings and lights, it made me feel a certain way that's hard to describe, so I knew it had to be this one! I love everything about this picture. The fact that there is no spot on the whole picture where you don't see a building with lights on. I'm also really glad that this photo is in black and white. If it were in color, I think it would have taken a lot away from the picture. The fact that it's black and white allows the lights from the buildings to pop out more which has an amazing affect.

This picture is also very mysterious. It's obviously a city, but you can't tell from this one picture where or when it was taken. Bellows has got me to think that this photograph is to show how many lives fill these cities. Millions of them, all with different stories. I also picture this place to be a busy but comfortable place to be. I also love how it's not taken from the typical skyline angle. It has a little bit - but not entirely - a birds eye view. I'm in love with everything in this picture!
