Kaleidoscopes

This one is of a street, and when you look at this kaleidoscopes it looks like 4 streets going off all opposite directions and you see an "X" in the middle.

This one is of a building, making it a kaleidoscopes makes it look like a futuristic space ship.

This one is the same image as above but zoomed in closer then made into another kaleidoscopes. So it looks really complex.

This one is really interesting like 2 worlds flipped. The trees in the middle don't even look real. The ground matches together and makes diamonds.

Contrast in images Including Diptychs and Tryptics

Contrast in Texture
I like all the detail in the wood with the smashed holes revealing the garbage behind it. Showing a change from smooth bottles of garbage to the rougher wood. The holes and the graffiti give it a different beat up look.

Contrast in texture
 When I first saw this wall  thought I knew it would be perfect, it had an abrupt contrast from smooth to rough. The sodden change was really unique and different. I really liked the style it gave the wall, and how it wold look as a picture.

Contrast in texture
This was from a window at Portland State and I thought it was interesting having the rough textured trees that looked old with the background being a smooth window that is new and modern.

Diptych
I like this one because it the same wall from different distances. Changing the distances changes the picture quite a bit. The color of the wall from the far away picture shows less texture but more color, and the one close up(left image) has less color more texture. Bringing the slightly different textures and colors together connected interestingly well. Also the leaf on the far right ads contrast in texture.

Diptych
At first it may look like a tryptic but the bar of rocks in the middle belongs to the image on the right. The image on the left connect well with the one on the right because of the rock/pebbles. The whole picture has similar colors and a nice fall mood 

Tryptic
This image at first looks like a cool rock poster thats how I think the images comes together. The image in the middle was taken off the side of a building. It popped out a lot on the back background, but I wanted something to surround it. So I put rough brick walls on both sides and I thought it looked pretty neat. I could deffinetly see this picture on an album cover.

Tryptic
The top and bottom pictures was originally a wall with  lot of red and wood colored circles. So I put them on the top and bottom and split it to put a close up on one of the holes. You see eli in the center of one of the holes that you wouldn't see unless you were zoomed in. So this tryptic aloud me to zoom in on it but still see some of the original picture.

Balance and Contrast Inspirations

Image that shows radial balance by: Maya Chavez

 I liked the swirling stairs creating really nice radical balance

Strong contrast in scale by: Taylor Jones

This one goes small to big, and young to old.

Strong contrast in color by: Rachel Newer

The leaf falling stand out well by using opposite colors.

Strong contrast of texture by: Jeff Lynch

 I thought it was really cool that they left the exposure open to create the smooth water with the rough rock holding it together.

Image that is symmetrically balanced by: Erich Schmid

Nice that you can split the image in half and both sides would almost be the exact same.

Project 3 Grids and color

 I really like how they used color here, it makes the green leaf pop. All the dark saturated
reds caving in on the lonely green leaf in the center. The picture is kind of sad in a way
because the leaf doesn't fit in. By strengthening the red and making the leaf softer green it makes the green leaf pop more.

Mood

This one is the picture I chose for mood I like the way the light bleeds through the dark trees. I darkened the trees and made the ground feel a little more worm to emphasize the mood of the ground and sun.The ground provides a really nice morning mood. It makes it look like a cold morning with the only warmth coming from that beam of light.

Color Harmony

 This one is my favorite color harmony.  I like the flowers surrounding the swimmer it makes it look like there swimming in flower. This one is interesting because at first it looks like there is cold and warmth but I put a warm filter over all of it. This made the pools in the center really warm and blend in nicely with the yellow flowers.

Monochrome

This one is one of my favorites because its simple but interesting. I decided to split the image into 7 different pieces and bring a little more intensity to the blue. The swimmers were already stretched out so I stretched them out even more which had a cool effect. Splitting them apart gave the picture a lot more intensity and the exaggeration I wanted it to have.

Color compliments

Color compliment

 I have a lot of color compliments I this one was the hardest for me because I wanted to make a cool grid for this one but I never came out the way I wanted it. These 3 came out the best and I think are good. This first color compliment is cool because it a lines up which was really hard to get it to do. Also it made a really cool checker pattern. The next one is of my baby cousins feet under water in different shades of green with a roses in the center because that color pops and he really likes roses. 

Color harmony

This one I finally decided it was warm harmony. The picture has all natural things on it with a cool border on the right of the picture. Starting with a field of yellow flower to a circle of red roses to the nice blue sky with a warm pre set over all over it worked really well. Getting a view of a lot in one flat grid.

Diagonals

 I chose this picture for many reason, I like how the bird is just about to launch forward. The intensity in its stance is cool.  I also like the yellow moss it gives the whole picture a different and unique look. I took this picture on my old camera so the quality isn't the best but it still came out good. Editing wise I brought the brightness and saturation up because the picture was laking color intensity.

 I  like the character this birds face has. It stands tall and prideful. This one also came out in good quality for my old point and shoot. I like the bent bar its standing on. Editing wise brought up the contrast, saturation, and brightness.

 I liked this one because I got the bird from the back. It shows a new perspective and side of the bird. I like that you can see a lot of details of the bird. Editing wise I fixed the contrast, brought up the saturation a little bit.

I like this picture because the dragonflies blue color was a little different. I like the color of the rock its on with the green shallow depth of field. I brought the saturation and warmth up I copped the picture so the dragonfly isn.t perfectly centered.

I like this one because it's further away, the sun reflection of the rock is has a neat color and tone to it. on this one I brought the brightness and warmth.

I spent a long time taking pictures of this dragonfly. It wasn't moving for a while. I like how it rested on the stick with the wood background. I  added saturation and brightness.

My Summer

   

   


       This summer I went on lots of cool trips. I went to Out and about there big tree houses. After there we went to Ashland, Or and saw some plays and hung around the town. We have been doing this for the last 10 years. I also went to a spa in Mexico called Rancho la Puerta. I had a good time there eating all there fresh food from the garden. I enjoyed all the hikes and hot tubs too. Most of all running around Portland with my friends
