Creative Photography 5 – Mirrorscapes
For my creative photography assignment 5, I took photos from my Texas Trip and used Photoshop to duplicate and flip half of the picture to create the reflection. I made a picture out of each side, thus creating a paired picture.

Creative Photography – Assignment 4
These are pictures for my creative photography assignement 3. Here I wanted to play more with textures and photomanipulation/photo montage. All the pictures are ones I have taken. Animal pictures came from photos I took last summer at the Wichita Zoo. Several other photos had thier roots in the Texas Trip I took over Spring Break.

Creative Photography – Practice HDR
My Creative Photography class is taking a shot at HDR (High Dynamic Resolution) images using Dynamic Photo HDR. Some of the pictures were shot on a trip to Texas (with this class in mind for those exposures) and some were shot during an in-class shooting day. Most were shot with a “correct” exposure plus two stops up and two stops down.

Creative Photography Assignment 3 – Animal People
For our third assignment in Creative Photography, I decided to keep with digital editing, only this time go with heavy manipulation. Anthropomorphic animals have always seemed neat to me, so I decided to try crossing pictures of people with pictures of animals (Most of the animal pictures were pictures I took at various zoos last year, with the exception of the seagull wings and squirrel). I also played a lot with the Highpass and Shadow/Highlights filter, along with texture and blending mode filters.

Creative Photography – Assignment 2 – Panoramas
In the Creative Photography class we had a class period to shoot panoramas – at which point I decided to use panoramas for my next assignment- with a twist: They would be digitally manipulated. I combined multiple photos in some cases, did a bunch of retouching with others, and played with filters and highpass and digital painting in yet others. It was a fun assignment, and these are the results:

Creative Photography Assignment 1 – Self-Portrait
Our first assignment in Creative Photography was self-portrait work. I decided I would make digital manipulation my key focus. So I set up studio in the currently empty other half of my dorm room using two Alien B400 lights and a grid spot, along with a piece of red fabric safety-pinned to the curtains, and took various pictures. Most of them were shot with a continuous shot ten-second timer. Several of the base photos turned out blurry, but after a couple shots they finally came out right. I also took several photos of my laptop. Then, in order to get the “fish-in-the-net” photos, I asked my boyfriend for help holding me- and giving me a chance to take up random poses. Granted, the expressions on my face wasn’t entirely an act, since being held precariously over a desk isn’t exactly my favorite thing to do. In the end some of those poses helped for the “falling-into-the-laptop” pictures, as well as the one where I am coming out of the laptop’s portable hardrive. It was a fun shoot, and I think the results turned out interesting.

Creative Photography – Frames
In order to help our creativity, Professor Schmidt put us in groups and handed us an empty frame. We then went outside (and inside) to shoot. Lucky for us, the weather was nice for a couple hours that morning, and we caught the last bit of it. These were a few of the pictures I took , then edited using Lightroom.
