For this altered photo I used fish eye effect. this is this is to make the desired area stick out. in thin particular photo I used the city hall building in SF.  There is few step however they have to be executed well.I found this fun and interesting.

This picture was the ripple effect I made it in photo shop. There are multiple step is making this picture they take a while to complete. If you mess up one of the steps you will mess up the photo. I found this very hard and difficult. They result is very different then what I thought it was going to be.

This picture was a picture of a cow at UC Davis. i then used photo shop's threshold to make this cow look red. I found this process fun once i understood and once i remembered all of the steps. i also changed the back ground after i finished the picture.

I went out on the mercy campus and two too different photo's one was of a tree and the together of the field. i then came back to the class room and i blend the two in photo shop. i found this fun and interesting.

This was also taken on the mercy campus  i took a picture of a chair and a picture of a flower. Then i cut the flower out of it picture. Then shrunk it and then stuck multiples of it on the chair. This was simple yet effective. i like this process.

Photoshop

This picture was alters in photo shop I am going to reflect on how I made this piece. I first looked through all of my most recent photographs and decided on the picture of the barn taken at UC Davis. I then eight clicked on the photograph then selected open and then selected Photo shop. Once I opened it up in Photo shop I was considering what to do so I sat there for a moment. I turned to one of my friends and asked them if they liked the picture they said that it would be a great photo if there was not the nasty mud and hay mess in the front of the photograph. Turned back to my computer looked at the photo for a little it longer then I realized what my friend said was true. Then I began to work on the photograph. I got the cone stamp tool and I cloned one of the hay piles and then stamped it in to the nasty mud spot in the front. I finally finish stamping in my fake hay pile. I then took a long look at my picture thinking what to do next then I thought it would be cool to put a fake background into the photo. I went on to the Internet and searched around Google images for a while then I thought of elephants and sunsets and I typed it into the search bar and I found a very cool picture of a elephant and a sunset. I clicked on the image to make it larger then I right clicked on it and saved it to my desktop. Then I exited out of the Internet and opens up my Photo shop window then I went to the tool bar and coiled file then open and I got my saved photo into photo shop. Now I needed to make the to images the same size so they would both correspond to each other. I went to image and then selected image size and then made my to image the same size. After that I then I used the clone stamp tool and I cloned the elephant sunset and then I stamped it into the background of the barn photo. That is how I made this photoshopped picture.

Thinking Artistically

• Composition very important
• you must pay attention when positioning camera even
• Value is very important in black and white landscapes
• always have a mood in mind and adjust to that mood
• a good goal to achieve is a balance between unity and variety
• extreme unity is with all parts of photo relate to each other
• variety is the exact opposite where nothing relates but it make a very nice picture
• unity= peaceful
• Variety = energy

Camera Settings

• 1st stop down the lens all the way
• 2nd choose small f stop
• tripod is necessary for sharp image

Light

• golden time for shooting landscapes before sunset and after sun rise
• the color of light is warm and gold
• best to l with direct light from distance

 
Film

• Landscape photos need to record as much as possible
• use100 ISO with  35mm camera to capture all the detail
• Black and white is Th choice for landscape photography

Lens

• wide angle lens are preferred
• for shooting mountains some photographers use  telephoto lens
• Macro lenses are also used for really close photos

Filters

• Very important part of landscape photo's
• yellow filter to bring out clouds
• also pairing these filters together gives even better effects to photo

Camera Support

• when you combine slow films and Small f - stops you get  slow shutter
• you will need  tripod to support camera to get sharp image

The Grand Landscape

• "Big View: for photo's taken out side
• You can take a ordinary house and by knowing how to take it the right way you make it as interesting as the grand Canyon
• Wide Angle lens extremely helpful
• use the 3rds rule when dealing with horizons
• Photo shop can always give you that extra push to bring you photo from good to great

Landscape Details and close - ups

• Parks are good for details
• Japanese gardens are also very good because they have tones of details from interestingly placed rocks to miniature water falls.
• bright sunny Day best for these photos
• the value in  picture Can be more important than an camera can capture
• right before sun rise or after sunset is best because it eliminates shadows
• John Sexton calls it the "quite light"\
• light meters make n exposure to take the middle grays out of the photo graph
• light photos = slow shutter speed
• dark photo's = fast shutter speed

Abstracted Element in the Landscape

• abstract photo's contain line,shape, value and texture
• tree bark is a perfect example
• you must get really close to  Small part of your subject to make it abstract
• telephoto or micro lens would work well for getting up close

Carr Clifton

Carr was born in California. He attended a collage in California were he received a degree in Commercial Photography. This was funny because he became famous for his landscape photographs. He is also know for going farther than anyone else has gone before with taking photographs. He photographs have appeared in many places books, and museums. more than likely you have seen his photographs and not known it was his.



This picture is very beautiful in my opinion. I like how the river draws your eye all the way back to the tree and then to the moutians then into the sunset. The river gives it line. 



Timothy O'Sullivan
