Assignment #8

For Assignment #8, we had to create an online journal; that's why I created this very blog! We were to upload all of our past photos from assignments 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and now 8. The photos that we had to create for assignment #8 were to be original photos that were unrelated to our previous assignments. Below, you will find all six photos that I put through Photoshop.

This photo is of my church, Christ Church of Clarkson. I took this photo from the front at many different angles and chose this one as the best. It is my first "Quality of Light" photo because of the light that seems to encompass the church.

This picture was captured in Brockport. I took it because recently my cat, Teddy, had to be put down here. I've known this place for many years.

This was also taken in Brockport, on Main Street. One day, I just went through much of Brockport and took photos of various things. I've gone to this place a few times; pub food is some of my favorite! This picture is my second "Quality of Light" picture because of the sky being contrasted by the darks and lights in the right half of the picture; not to mention the main "Stoneyard" sign being lit up.

This picture is of me in my room (back when my hair was long). It's basically the ultimate selfie; let's just face it. Get it? "face it"? Because selfies include people's faces...in...them... I'm not funny...

This picture I took while  in Hamlin, which is right next to my hometown of Kendall. I was taking pictures of the big playground/jungle gym that I used in assignment #6 when I saw a small, faint rainbow! If you look closely, it can be seen in the middle, to the left of the sun. I tried to enhance it somewhat, but it was tricky to. Regardless, it still is a beautiful photo. This is my first "Color Scheme" picture because of the different colors in it and the rainbow.

This may be my favorite picture that I've taken. I photographed my girlfriend Emma's eye. It was already so beautiful, but it turned out even better when I put it through Photoshop and did the burn-dodge effect and the other things. This is my second "Color Scheme" picture, showcasing many differing shades of brown and tan.

These photos were really fun to pick and to edit! I have the workflow pretty much memorized, which makes the whole process more enjoyable and much faster! These photos are some of my favorites!
