5 Minute Walk: Judo Tournament
This was the first major project I completed for Digital Photography. The assignment was to take several pictures of a topic of interest in the timeframe of five minutes or so, then crop and edit the levels of the best photographs before assembling a single document with the five or six edited photos, displaying our work. These photos were taken at the University of New Hampshire at their Wildcat Invitational judo tournament. Several different competitors serve as the subjects of the photos. The photographs also demonstrate two of the biggest components of judo in action-- standing and groundwork techniques in the process of their application. These matches involved some of the most elite competitors at the event, so the technique being showcased is extremely advanced. In addition, several of the competitors in the photographs were competing as representatives of the Polish National Team.
Panograph: Stained Glass Window
This is the second of three major projects I completed for Digital Photography. It was an out of school shoot in which we were required to shoot multiple up-close photos of a single thing, then assemble the photos into a panograph. The assembling portion of the project was completed in class using photoshop and required us to create an action to resize all of the images, adjust levels and opacity, and assemble the smaller images into a cohesive whole.
Picture In A Picture #1: Digital Approach
This was the first of two photographs I shot for our final quarter project. The goal of this specific image was to create the illusion of a picture in a picture then do whatever editing was necessary to enhance the illusion. The editing for this particular shot was fairly simple, editing out the part of the hands that showed on the inside of the frame and adjusting for levels. Thanks to Maddie Cole for posing for this shot.
Picture In A Picture #2: Physical Approach
This picture satisfied the other half of the Picture in a Picture project requirements: taking a printed photograph and holding it over the location where it was taken, making sure the perspective was the same, but showing some type of change. The original photograph of my cat was taken in the spring of 2012. The change can be seen in the letters no longer being there, and the slight change in position of a few appliances. The editing was incredibly simple for this photograph, just adjusting the levels slightly.
