Bulbs

Original

Focal Length	34mm
Exposure	1/60
F Number	f/4.5
ISO	320

Revised

The first image had a cyan cast to the whites so I had to go into Hue/Saturation in the adjustments panel and I adjusted the cyans taking down the saturation. I also tried to add more yellow into the bulbs by using the quick selection tool and selecting the bulbs again going into Hue/Saturation. Overall I think the image is more bland and has less contrast, but that can be easily adjusted. 

Not so much of a photo process

Focal Length	34mm
Exposure	1/60
F Number	f/4.5
ISO	100

I like this photo because of the purples in it it reminds me of something a lomography camera would produce, plus I just really love these flowers, they smell so sweet and bring back a nostalgic feeling of summer for me. I don't really remember what I did in photohop, I'm thinking maybe I just changed the hue or something, but I just felt like sharing this :)

Photo Process: Sink

Focal Length	48mm
Exposure	1/100
F Number	f/6.3
ISO	6400

So to make this photo, I just added water to an old tube of mascara and just splattered the watered down mascara on the white sink. When editing it in photoshop I went under adjustment layers and clicked the white dropper on the left side. Then I clicked on the white areas to brighten them up with the white dropper. After I added a grunge overlay and resized it.

These photos were taken by Rineke Dijkstra if you didn't see the title, but I really like her soldier photos especially the first one because of the transformation process in the person's eyes. The first frame he looks so pure and young then as time progresses to the last slide his eyes are hard and have no emotion. You can really just imagine what this man has been through and what he has seen, or maybe you can't. I just really like how it tells a story. On the sixth frame is where I see the transformation so you just have to think what happened between the slide before it. I also enjoy the second photo because the background is so beautiful and pure, not yet touched by men. The landscape is free of houses or roads or any civilization, but there's this man smack dab in the middle who could bring the destruction of the whole peaceful area. I think that the transition of the people is something that I would like to try for myself but of course, it takes time.

What is Concepting With Craig Smallish

On lynda.com while watching the video, Craig Smallish talks about how to develop a project and come up with an original idea.

The Concept Building Processes are: Core Values, Free Association, Descriptives, Rough Sketches & Investigate Variation. Smallish also says that creating many ideas can help

Figuring out who your client is also makes you more likely to gain their trust. Smallish suggests giving a client brief to get the basic information about your client. Make sure to meet the client in person and even better at their own home, which can reflect their own personality.Basically anything where you can see body language Sketching notes can be helpful. Though provoking questions are key.Maybe ask them what their greatest achievement is or lessons they've learned and the best decisions they'v made. Remember this information should be the foundation but not the whole of your project.

Once you understand the basics of your client, ask yourself what solution you are attempting to provide to them. Smallish also suggests project briefs where you can really get a feel of what you're doing and meet in person like the client brief. Again notes & sketches will help.

Chalkboard Paint

I also like this idea, painting the lids with chalkboard paint and giving them labels, I have a friend who recently painted her room with chalkboard paint so maybe she would have some extra paint. 

Supersauce

Many people in the class are using super sauce, which is a liquid slime that transfers images on metal, wood and glass. Jordan and Lacey have transferred images on aged pieces of metal. Jordan's image on the metal was more effortless because she slowly pulled of the paper from the corner, Lacey's image teared a few times and where she had touched the paper there was a finger print, which I think is kind of cool. Stephanie also tried this process on wood and it worked out terrific. I also think that Brittany's idea was cool because she put an image on glass and it looked cool on both sides of the image.

Anthotypes in General

Two girls in my glass attempted to do anthotypes but both of the process just left behind a blank piece of paper unfortunately. Stephanie's process was supposed to stay in direct sunlight less than Taylor's (which I already mentioned) because she didn't use cabbage but it still didn't turn out the way it should have.

American Horror Story Jars

http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121114182653/americanhorrorstory/images/f/f0/Opening_Credits_for_Season_1


Maybe you watched season 1 of American Horror Story and liked the eerie jars as much as I did which are shown above, which inspired me to put images on mason jars or any old jar that's around.

 So here's the final result that I found here. They put olive oil in the mason jar and I really like the look that it gives off. If I did this I would put olive oil in it and I also saw another site put old rose petals in the olive oil. I wouldn't be able to just put the image on the glass because as you can see on that picture, mason jars have letters and numbers on them that protrude from the glass. So making a sticker like Rosy's process wouldn't work for mason jars, but If I wanted to do  that then I would have to use any other jar, which I do have. So I'm pretty sure that this will be my final project.

Styles and Themes

I'm really interested in creepy photos that look old and spooky. I think one of the best inspirations for this theme would be the book "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." The images are actual images that the author, Ransom Riggs, found and tied in with the story. All of the images are older and peculiar in some way. Here are a few from the back of the book.
