Brenn Alexander - Midterm Pictures

This first picture was filtered with a floral shirt giving different shades of color throughout the image. 

This photo was taken through an orange scarf, giving the image a short of antique look. 

This was taken through my floral shirt, but with black and white, giving it different shades throughout the image. 

This was taken through a transparent blue folder which highlights the light and sky through the window 

This was taken through another darker transparent shirt making the image sort of foggy with an older feel. 

This was with a semi-clear plastic but resulted with it looking fogged over. 

This was taken through the bus window with the rain drops resulting in parts of the image being blurred. 

And this last image was taken through a red transparent folder, which highlights the window with light and fades out the edges. 

Megan Colwell: Midterm Assignment

My Pictorialist filter set was originally made of sheets of semi-clear plastic folders that I cut up and used various things to make them have different effects like lipstick, mascara, toothpaste, hairspray, and teabags. However, I realized I couldn't use them unless they were really close to, basically touching, the object being photographed. So instead, I used a piece of plastic wrap that I sprayed with hairspray and stuck bits of tea grind, to as well as a piece of glass I found on the ground at the Mausoleum.  I also shot all the photographs using a sepia filter from my camera to give the images a vintage pictorialist look. This filter gives all of the photos a sense of unity as well.

 Taken with manipulated plastic wrap which was moved to get the speckled effect of the tea grinds.

The effect was created by fogging up the camera lens to soften the focus of the overall image.

Looking up at inside of Hamilton Mausoleum 

Taken with the manipulated plastic wrap. Softens the focus and creates a pattern of reflected light.

Hamilton Mausoleum 

This effect was created with the manipulated plastic wrap as well as the miniature effect on my camera which blurs the top and bottom of the photo creating emphasis in the middle.

Hamilton Mausoleum

This effect was created the same way as the photo above.

The sleeping lions at the Hamilton Mausoleum

 Taken using the manipulated plastic wrap. Softens the focus and creates blurriness to parts of the photo.

The top of the Hamilton Mausoleum

Taken using a piece of a glass bottle. Creates a vignetting effect.

The lion, the face, and the Mausoleum

Taken using a piece of a glass bottle. The glass is placed so that some of the scene is not seen through the glass, emphasizing the vignetting effect that the glass has.

The face of Immortality above the gate leading to the crypt at Hamilton Mausoleum

This was taken using the piece of glass which was held so that only the smooth part of the glass would capture the image. The glass creates a soft miniature effect on its own, emphasizing the face of Immortality.

 This is a view from the floor of the dome to the Hamilton Mausoleum using forced perspective and shadows to create depth. No filters used.

Duchess' waiting room as seen through cling wrap, which gives soft focus and warmth to the room.

The tile in the fireplace of the Duke's room. This was shot through a blue, purple and black lace see-through shirt to give it a vignette effect as well as bring focus to the decorative tile.

 One of the four pillars in the ceiling of the Hamilton Hunting Lodge seen through cling wrap. The light highlights the sculpture as the cling wrap softens the statue.

Another one of the four corners of the Hamilton Hunting Lodge seen through cling wrap that has been wrinkled and layered. Gives soft light to the featured corner.

 Of the flowers on display in the meeting room in the hunting lodge, this is seen through cling wrap. Softens and forces perspective.

The private garden at the Hamilton Hunting Lodge seen through a pair of sunglasses. The odd angle and green frame gives soft focus, vignetting and forced perspective.

The blue wrap gives a different tint to the sky and the hole in the center brings focus to the outside of the Hamilton Mausoleum.

The sleeping lion outside the Hamilton Mausoleum is seen through cling wrap. This gives a soft focus and light from the harsh sun.

Looking Through

Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #1

Megan is looking through the window, acting as a universal subject. A filter made from a plastic bag with a hole cut in the center covered by tape was used to create a vignetting effect.

Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #2

This was taken through smudged tape, to create a soft focus and less saturation.

Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #3

A filter made from a cereal bag was used to decrease saturation and clarity.

















Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #4

Vignetting was achieved in this photograph by using a plastic bag with a hole cut in the center covered by tape as a filter.

Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #5

A gray sock was placed over the lens to create a patterned haziness.

Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #6

A filter made of smudged tape was used to give the picture softer focus and decreased saturation.

Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #7

This was photographed through a cereal bag to achieve a less clear and more monochromatic effect.

Chatelherault Hunting Lodge Window #8

 A ziploc bag was used as a filter to soften the image's focus.

Sara Liming: Camera Obscura Project

This was relatively easy going in for construction. Above features the tools I used in construction of my camera obscura: tape, trash bag, scissors, juice boxes, knife (not featured above).

Mid-construction: all I have left to complete it is the lens. The trash bag was difficult to make sure that the single layer didn't tear, the bottom of the juice box was hard to put a hole in, but everything else when smoothly.

Complete project! Once I put in the other half, it was easy to see how well this worked. The trash bag managed to bunch up, and once I fixed it, it worked crazy well. When we were discussing the project in class, I knew how to do it immediately. I spent Wednesday building it and was able to make it in 10 minutes. The only difficult part of the project was having to use my roommates point and shoot camera.

PHOTOS

William Wallace monument seen from a distance on Monday, 25 June 2012 in Stirling, Scotland, UK. Use of the macro shooting mode, no flash.

University loch on Monday, 25 June 2012 in Stirling. Macro shooting mode, no flash. I chose the loch because of its beauty to the university and many lochs were presumably shot.

Residence hall at University of Stirling shot in macro, no flash. It was really neat how well the detail was captured. 25 June 2012

One of the many swans seen on campus, this was shot on Monday, 25 June 2012 using macro mode with no flash. It was just really neat that it managed to get the swan clearly. I also got followed by a swan because it wanted bread. I thought it was going to bite me.
