2011, 7th assignment - Hand Coloring

cabin in the woods Hand Colored Photo (c) Lynne Medsker








I like when A hand coloring picture that doesn't look like a photograph, but a painting. I think the photograph should be colored because you never see a painting that's only half way painted. I like my hand coloring picture of the flag because it looks painted but the one of the reese's cup could have had more color to it and When I was printing it, I shouldn't have exposed it as long.

2011, 6th Assignment - Cross Processing




summer times
To have a good cross processed picture there should be a good amount of color.
I was actually pretty impressed with my roll. I had some good colors and they just came out well. But, If I could have done soemthing different I would have looked for more color.

2011, 5th Assignment - Solarization







A solarized photograph has to stay simple because of the highlights. With multiple things is a polarized photo it will blend together and you won't know what you're looking at. I liked the picture I took of the boots because it was simple but had really good details. The one I took of the trophies were kind of light and I could  have exposed for a little bit longer.

2011, 4th Assignment - Polaroid Transfers





















A good polaroid transfer, much like these, have to have an obvious center of interest and the colors have to be right, and the details need to be shown. I think i did well on this roll. ( i don't know why i'm in italics)

2011, 3rd Assignment - Layers
















1st Photograph: 4 layers. The foreground with the water. The rocks with the green. The rocks on the left and The green in the background. I like this picture because of how the water looks. You can almost see it running down the rocks. My eyes want to go to the green in the middle of the photograph but I still look at everything else in it.
2nd Photograph: 6 layers. The forground with the water. The birds. The men. The grass. the mountains. The sky. This photograph works because the layers are easily identified. It's not an easy photo to be taken. It looks rather difficult. But it could be immitated.
3rd Photograph:3 layers. The man, singing. The fan's hands. And their faces. This picture has a lot of distracting points because the background is really bright and I look there before I look at him.
4th photograph: 6 layers. Each mountain being a layer. The row of mountains in the background and the sky. I like this because there are leading lines and I want to look at everything in the photo, not just one specific thing.
This assignment made me think more about what I'm incorperating in my photography and make it seem more interesting. A simple picture, like the one in my last entry is nice but sometimes they get boring do incorporating other things into the background makes it seem more interesting and not so dull. Fiber paper makes the photograph's details pop out more.
I think I did fairly well on this roll. The one thing that I don't like about it is the one of the girl next the wall doesn't have very many deatils to it. But other than that i think I ndid well.

2011, 2nd Assignment - 3200 film


















I like thses pictures because they're not really sharp but you can still see the subjects. The first one is nice because My eyes are drawn straight to the man but I still want to see everything else in the photo. The second photo is more simple but still a very noce picture. I would use these picture for influence because they have nice subject. Exposers right. They're just really good pictures. The grain is right. I like this speed of film more because of the look of the pictures.

2011, 1st Assignment - First roll feelings

I think I did pretty well on my first roll. The Pictures were really bright for some reason but I got them to come out. I would have used a lower filter on the flower one because it's so bright and there's a lot of contrast. I could have burned more on the one of Mariah outside because of the lights around her. But Other than that, I'mn pretty comfortable with everything.
