Digital photography experiments
This is a picture of my legs. I like the strange colors the glass caused in the stone to my left. And also the glow of the lights that was present without a flash.
File:Megan\'s face wiki copy.jpg
This is a picture of my friend Megan. I think the vantage point is particularly interesting because I'm above her at an angle looking down. I experimented a lot with contrast in this picture and I found that greater contrast accentuated her freckles and eyelashes. I also desaturated and darkened the picture, as well as heightened the shadows.
"The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying." Terence Donovan (b. 1936), British photographer. Guardian (London, 19 Nov. 1983)
Bench in Paris
This is a picture of my brother and sister in law on a bench. At the time it was just a nice picture, but looking back on it i find entirely different emotions and responses than I did at the time. Now looking at the picture, after a month, i feel i captured something more evident than just a kiss, without using photo shop (though i will experiment later). The cars going by in the background make the kiss pop out even more and show how i captured a moment in time that will pass bye. The placement of her hand is crucial, in that it shows how they must stop even themselves for a moment; to sit, to smile, to kiss.
