Dark room- Double Exposure

How did I create this image?
I exposed my background first, which is the shadow of the tree.  Then I put my exposed sheet in my drawer and put the second negative into the enlarger. After the teststrips I pulled out the exposed sheet and exposed it again. This time with the other negative and then I developed it and this great contrast was created.
Do I like how it came out? 
Yes, I like it for sure. The contrast between the branches and the girl with the dog looks so great and it created an very interesting picture.
Where is my focal point in this picture?
I'd say it is the shadow of the tree/ the trunk of it. It is the darkest point in the whole picture.

Close up & Reflections

REFLECTION: 

How did I capture reflection?

 It's reflecting in the window

Did I get any unexpected image in my picture?

I didn't even see it's also reflecting on the top and in the object itself. When I took the picture I only saw the reflection to the left, the other ones I noticed when I was working with the picture in photoshop.

 CLOSE UP: 

Did I have any trouble getting a close up image?
No, I didn't have any problems.
Is my background blurry or in focus?
It is blurry.
What do I like best about close up photos?
That I can see so many details of one object.

Photoshop: Background change & blemish

BEFORE

AFTER

 It was definitely helpful to know how to blemish. Now I could change my pictures if I don't like a blemish on it. But still... I don't think I'll use it much because people should be proud of how they look like and shouldn't change it on pictures. But yes, it was interesting.

I like that it looks real, There could really be a building in front of a mountain. Sometimes it was hard to get clear borders/lines because my tool I used just did whatever it wanted. I didn't like that.

Architecture

I tried to catch buildings or details from buildings with an interesting pattern. I was successful because I've already found some at school and didn't even had to take some at home.
I wanted to create an interesting picture. At my picture the bench and its shadow is leading through the picture in a little curve. I really like it.

A#11 Point of view; A#12 Pets

I put the brush next to the sink ( that's the sparkle in the background) I wanted it horizontal and at the same high as the sink, so I had kneel down to take a picture straight through the brush. So I'd think my angel was the ant's angle, so basically I put my camera on the ground to take the picture.

Actually, it was not easy to take a picture of my pet because it was always moving and wanted to do something more exciting than "posing for my camera". It was luck to get him licking his nose. It is a different picture. He is not just sitting around, it makes it more interesting. I also payed attention to the rule of thirds, the dog is not in the middle of the picture which makes it even more interesting.

Lighting

I chose the picture because it has an interesting lighting. I used background lighting, which means The light is behind the fruit. It makes the fruit "turn" black but on the corners caught a little bit of the light. That's what it makes it interesting- looking. 

Panning

My shutter speed was at 1/60 an yes, it is a panning picture. I followed the basketball with my camera, so that the basketball is in focus and the people are blurry.

People and Light/shadow

For this picture I chose aperture at 2 and I used the light coming in from the window.  It wasn't a sunny day, it was cloudy, so it is not a bright light which is shining trough the window but it's still light enough to set contrasts.

At this picture everything was dark around the lantern except the candles in the lantern which were shining trough it and have created some interesting shadows, which were reflecting on the kitchen counter. I used also aperture 2 and the shutter speed was at 15.

Photoshop self portrait

This is my self portrait. At first I changed the color to like a red/orange- ish because red and orange are my favorite colors, and I cannot decide which one I like the most.
When I started adding the color it was too light so I changed the contrast.I also changed it that you can see a little bit more my make-up because I wear it almost every day.
The picture wasn't clear enough so I sharpened it a little bit so that,for example, you can see all the little hair more. I also chose red for my hair because I want to dye my hair eventually.Or just highlights, I'm not quiet sure. But eventually the color will be a brown or like a dark red- almost brown.

Scavenger Hunt/ Studio Portrait

How did I like working with a digital camera compared to the 35mm film camera?

I liked it very much. First of all, it wasn't that much work. You could just have fun taking pictures, upload them and look at them and also, they are colored. You didn't have to worry about how your film will come out, or if you messed up with rolling your film. It was easier, at least that's what I think.

At this picture there is an interesting lighter/ yellow spot in the right-hand corner. It is a good contrast compared to the rest of the picture. I didn't zoom in to the snow, I zoomed in behind the snow, which makes the picture more interesting.

At this picture I used a light and hold it  to the right, that I would get shadow on the left side of his face. Because of this, the face looks "real", like three dimensional. That's what I wanted to show here. I really like the shadow because it goes around parts of his eye but the eye is still light. The shadow looks very interesting because of that.

Solarization

This is my favorite picture of my four I have done. I put it into the developer for about 20 seconds, took it out and after that I exposed it for 2 seconds. After that I did the regular process. The pictures I put less in the developer for the first time where lighter and there was more a difference between the black and the white. The longer it was in the developer, the more dark the white got's. It turned more to a grey-ish tone.
I would use this process if I want to show the differences between the black and the white. If I only want that the viewer sees the shape of the things in my pictures and not the detailed stuff.
