Self Portraits

Lyrics

" Today, I lie down deep in slumber.Feelings are falling downward.I want to forget.Waking up, I hear the way your voice sounds.My heart starts to pound, now...To the rhythm of yours.You're so angelic. Your words so symphonic."

"They started out beneath the knowledge tree.Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences,And, marching along the railroad tracks,They smile real wide for the camera lenses.They made it past the enemy lines Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines."

Portraits

I really like this photo because I tried a lot of new things that I haven't done before. I used the rendering tool to make the light around her glow and gave it a photo filter.

I like this photo as well because it has a lot of edge to it I think. I like how you can see her freckles and by her face you know that she's angered.

Color me beautiful

This is my Yellow Wallpaper photo. I chose to duplicate myself in different positions to convey a meaning of time.

Blue represents trust and loyalty. I think i conveyed that well because the subject in the photo is trusting that the swing isn't going to break if she does a flip on it. As well, she's trusting herself that she can do a flip.

I chose tea for my brown photo because brown represents wholesomeness as does tea. So I thought that tea bags would represent that well.

I chose red for this photo because red represents energy. As you can tell the subject has a lot of energy in the photo, so to enhance that I used a red tint.

Repulsive/Attractive

I chose this picture as repulsive because it's clearly disgusting. It is the rust that is on my car. I never really realized how bad the rust was until i took this picture. I just wish i would have made it more clear because it is a little bit out of focus.

I chose to take a picture of this glass for the attractive photo. I chose it because you can tell that there is sparkles in the glass and that it is shiny. I like how it gets more clear as you get further away. I tweak it by using the sharpen tool.

This is a picture of a flower and I used it to represent repulsive. Although a flower is somewhat clique I think it turned out nicely. When I took the photo i put the flower on the lens instead of trying to focus it. I tweaked it by adjusting the brightness and contrast.

I used this photo to represent attractive. Although there is orange and dead flowers I think the ones that are pure white are brought out more clearly. I also used the brightness and contrast tool to tweak the colors.

Easy Glow

I think i like this photo a lot more when I didn't' have the easy glow effect on it. I think that by adding the effect blurred out the picture more and because the picture doesn't have really any color it made anything that was sharpened blurry.

I chose to use one of my attempts at over exposure. I used the the easy glow effect to make a better emphasis on the light instead of what's going on around the light. I think I enjoy the photo a lot more when i used the easy glow because it made the colors more vibrant.

Blur Overlay

I used the blur overlay on this photo to also make it more vibrant. I think i accomplished that beacuse the blackberry and the keys are a lot more visible and popping out.

This is a photo that i took during our alphabet assignment. I used the blur overlay to emphasize the color on the chalk and I think it also made the picture look all together better. Before I added the filter the chalk was not very vibrant and now it is.

Filtering the background

I chose to edit this picture and to filter the background to make a greater emphasis on my hand. I had already used the macro setting when I took the photo so I went the extra mile to make my hand stand out. I'm satisfied with this photo I just would like to now learn how to sharpen my the object up close.

This is a picture of my friend Jake. I had him pose in front of the window so that I could make him seem as though he is glowing once I added in the background filter. I like this photo because I made sure to emphasize him and try to blur out most of the background. I created emotion by making the subject darker and the background lighter.

Neon Glow

This is a picture of my friend Stacey's eye. I decided to take it outside because i wanted to get the best lighting that I could. The neon glow effect really accented her freckles and also made the picture look more intense.

I chose to use this photo for the neon glow effect because I thought it would give the picture the extra edge and be able to express emotion better. I used the color yellow to accent my skin tone and the blue in my eyes. The only thing I wish I wouldn't have done was editing it before adding on the filter.
