Photo Sketchbook













1. I used blurred edges and adjusted the contrast and exposure. i used the effect orton
2. i adjusted the exposure, brightness, and contrast alot for this one. i used tranquil and urbane 
3. for this one i only adjusted the exposure and contrast. i did not use any filters
4. i used the cross process in blue for this one and adjusted the contrast and exposure. i finished it with an intrepid filter
5. for the parthanon i used burst and then played alot with the curves and the exposure and contrast.
6. i turned this into black and white in iPhoto. i then i used urbane to make the edges darker. i also adjusted the contrast and exposure
7. for this i used cross process and then tranquil. after that i adjusted the curves and exposure/contrast
8. i turned this into black and white and then i used orton. after i adjusted the exposure/contrast and did dodging and burning around her face and the shadows. 
9.  i used tranquil for this one and then did a slight color tint to make it look warmer. i think adjusted the exposure/contrast.
10. all i did for this was turn it into black and white, adjust the contrasts and used texts. i wanted it to be simple

this project was interesting but became a little repetitive. i enjoyed playing around with the different filters. I defiantly became more comfortable with pic monkey and am happy with the way my pictures turned out. The most challenging part of the project was finding a picture and then coming up with the right text for it. I was lucky because my iphoto has over 10,000 pictures to choose from so i had a ton of options, but that made it a little difficult to pick the final photo.

  1. Great job Emma! I particularly liked the pool one. It was cool how the words exactly reflected the water in the picture. I like the simplicity of the photo, and you did not add too many affects, but by adjusting the exposure and contrast you were able to set the mood and create a meaning.

  2. I love your first and fourth photos! I think you did a great job of connecting the text with the image. All of your images fit really well together.

  3. These are really sweet. I particularly like 4 and 7 because they give me a nostalgic feel and I like how you played with the contrast.

  4. I really like the photo of the mountain and the "bark less, wag more" one. it looks really cool with the extreme difference in contrast

  5. Great job Emma! I think you were able to overcome those challenges and the text you added perfectly explains your interpretation of every picture. I also really like how you organized the text and avoided simply displaying text across the image. I really like the last image in this series creating a mysterious and ambiguous mood.

  6. I think the "Together but separate" photo really achieves a beautiful contrast while also exuding a melancholic mood through the light blues of the sky.
