Summer Time


          This is a photograph of a dog in Toronto, he is the main subject. When I was looking through photos to do a jell medium I thought that this photograph would be a good fit. I wanted to do a jell medium because I found the process very interesting, the way the photo reflected onto the jell really intrigued me. I was extremely happy with the outcome of the photo, it reflected just how I wanted it to and captured all the details of the dog and the grass.

Straight Forward; Blue and White!


I enjoyed using this technique. I found it very interesting how it changed the blacks in the original photo to blue. I had to do this process many times because it never turned out the way I wanted it to. The subject is my dog, I took this photograph of her at home in our living room. I used my Canon Rebel T3 with the basic 18-55mm lens. I chose this photograph for this technique because I like how she is looking right into the camera and I thought it would look interesting to see the colours change from black to blue.

Be Yourself

In these photographs I asked Andie, Alicia and Michelle to be themselves and do whatever comes naturaly to them. I took these photographs with my Canon T3 with my 18 - 55mm lens. This is what they came up with.
 
In this photograph I have a good one to two ratio lighting. I have a light close to my subject on the left side of my photograph and then on the right, I have the light pushed further back. Both streaming in on an angle towards my subject. The shutter speed was 1/25 and my aperture was at f/4.5.

 In this photograph I did not move the lights, I left them the same as the photograph above, but I added a new light source. The extra light source is coming from the left side of the photograph coming in straight and hitting Alicias face right on. The shutter speed was 1/60 with an aperture of f/5.

In this photograph I have the same lighting as the first photo with Andie in it. I did however add another light source, I added a fill light. With the lights in the room on, it gave the photo a brighter look to it which i enjoy. For this photograph i used a shutter speed of 1/30 and an aperture of f/4.5.
