Photostory

So this is it... my last project for this class!! I had a blast with everyone this semester!!
I so thought this was due tonight & had been on vacation so .. thankfully it was extended...THANK YOU Kevin!! :)

I took the photos in which I originally intended to use and edited them using the black and white as I was running into so many issues being that some were sooo old...lol...so I decided to make a black and white story.... afterall isnt life best seen in black and white?? :) I hope you all enjoy my story!! I will now go check out everyone elses!! Have a great summer everyone!

 I had a little trouble navigating the movie/slide show creations but I guess it worked... 

For Each of the pictures I used ... the blur tool to rub out marks showing wear and tear.. I did use the text tool to put captions on the photos as well. I then softened the images to reduce some of the noise or smoothen out the pixels in the images that I scanned in.. I gave vignette to most of the images to enhance them a bit more and removed the stress puffs under my eyes in a few images too.. :) I chose the black and white for them all because I felt it just tells more to the story... esp how much family has grown.. :)

I hope you can all see it on here.. please let me know if you have trouble!!

Week 11

My portrait photography for this week was going to be on some of my senior pictures but had a change of events! I actually caught these images on my Iphone.. I was trying so hard to get this one lil guy who does NOT like to smile to do so at a family function for a passing family/friend... this is what I got... 

First Set : The lil guy was watching balloons go into the air in memory of Granny.... I left the color one and then edited with photoshop & gave the black and white look to try and show more emotion.. which I think I may have had some success with... let me know what you think??

This second set of the same lil guy.. his mom was tryin to get him to "pose" for me... he just kept giggling... I tried a few different attempts myself and then just figured I would do my best to just capture his "innocence" because there was NO way he was going to set still for any amount of time..

Black and white again because I LOVE the look of his grin in this one!!

Third set of images I told him Granny put a monkey in my phone and if he wanted to see it that he should smile...lol! He seemed intrigued so I just clicked! I think his mom was ecstatic because we actually caught a pic of him actually looking....lol!! 

 Again.. I did the black and white to maybe give some more depth and sincerity to the picture.

After these images, the little guy had to see the "Monkey" and I just turned the camera around so he could see himself and he ran off laughing and told everyone that my Granny put a monkey on Michelles phone that looks just like him!!!! <3
