Project 52 | Week 6 - Silhouette

After a week of procrastination and finally finding inspiration today... I came up with these photos! I will admit I wasn't looking forward to this weeks theme, but I think these images are some of my favorite so far!

..... Happy Halloween :)












Big thanks to my wonderful friends who helped me by modeling and do weird things like laying on top of car headlights.

Project 52 | Week 5 - SOOC (Straight out of camera) Vs. Edited

This week's theme involves a photography technique I am really fond of: HDR Photography. I only just got into this kind of photography a little over a year ago. I recently looked back at my first attempt at HDR, and I can really see how far I've come! Behold, the first attempt (not too shabby!):



Practice makes perfect!
So on to this week. The first three images are the images I took straight out of the camera. I then use a program to edit them together to create the final image.


This scene looks familiar! It's from the Upside down series I took from Week 3. I always sharpen all my images, adjust the levels (etc), take out unwanted color casts, and straighten out the framing. (Or anything else that might need edited).

SOOC:




Edited:







This photo is from Holcomb Gardens at Butler University. In the edited version I took out the ugly blue construction wall by removing the color. This way the eye isn't drawn to it.

SOOC:

The final photo for the week was taken at Turkey Run. (My favorite state park!) If I'm shooting a fall scene I like to make the reds, oranges, and yellows pop by increasing their saturations.

Project 52 | Week 4 - Symmetry

This week I struggled a little with ideas for the project.
So I really only came up with one photo for the week! I'm adding in another photo I took a few weeks ago that I think shows symmetry.




And here's the photo from a few weeks ago at the corn maze! Both of these photos I used the HDR process. Next week's theme, SOOC, should be fun as I plan to show how my HDR photos look before and after.

Project 52 | Week 3 - Upside Down

Micah and I went on a 3.2 mile walk yesterday. The weather was so perfect and the sky so amazing; just what I hoped for when I set out to take these! This isn't photoshopped, just some clever camera angles and image rotation. ;)



I enjoyed these so much, here's another!





Time for some creepiness! This is just Micah's face upside down.






It gets weirder the longer you look at it......

Project 52 | Week 2 - Time



This past weekend I got to go hiking at Eagle Creek and spend time with my dear friend Chelsey! I choose this picture for "time" because we have been friends since the 2nd grade. That was back in the year of 1997 when we were just 7 years old! It's been a great 17 years! While we were hiking we got asked if we were twins. I guess you really do start looking like those you are closest to/ have known for a long time! LYLAS, Chelsey! :)




This one is pretty obvious for "time"! I left my shutter open for 10 minutes to track the movement of the clock hands. You can barely see that the minute hand is there, it moves around 12:13 - 12:24.




"I mark the hours every one." I had some fun with this last one! I edited this one if you can't tell ;) Taking this picture made me realize I need to invest in a macro lens.

And here's another just for fun!
