Project 8

For this project we were supposed to learn three different techniques that require taking multiple images. We were supposed to post at least one example of a panorama, an HDR, and a multiple exposure shot.


Panoramic: Panoramic images are created by taking several photos and stitching them together in photoshop to show a larger view than could be captured in just one plain photo. Also to create a panorama effectively, make sure to overlap each photo by about 40%.

Park Panoramic
I took this photo on my camera in Washington Park and stitched it together in PhotoShop.

Portland Panoramic
I took this photo off my porch and stitched it together in PhotoShop.

High Dynamic Range (HDR): Cameras can not capture the total range that we can usually see which results in photos that are over and under exposed in certain areas. HDR allows you to fake a higher range. You do this by taking each photo only changing the shutter speed and merge the photos together in Light room to create a well-exposed photograph.

Multiple Exposure: You can create these photos by taking several photos and stitching them together in Photoshop. You can blend together photos of different subjects, or of photos from different perspectives.

Project 7

For this project, we were supposed to be simulating the look of and old daguerreotype photo and making a digital cyanotype. I downloaded some texture and brush links

from online for free and brought in some simple portrait photos into Photoshop. I simply for both photos 

made them black and white. For the daguerrotype, I took a picture of my sister sitting in her bed which I think

looks pretty modern. I brought it into Photoshop and changed it to black and white then created a sepia look

to it. I used the brush tools to make it splotchy and have an older look to it and flattened the images. For the 

cyanotype, I put a self timer on the camera to take a picture of me in front of an older building. I made a 

background with the brush tools and brought my photograph into Photoshop. I made a black and white

 preset and then placed my photo on top of the brush stroked background. I then upped the color blue on 

my photo to make it look like a cyanotype and flattened the layers.

Daguerrotype: A photograph taken by an early photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor.

Cyanotype: is a photographic printing process that gives a cyan-blue print.
