Sepia Tone




   For sepia toning I don't know what I intend to use. I want to possibly find something that is old or aged. I may try to find something in nature that would be a good subject for sepia toning.

Critique:
  I like my sepia toned photographs. They both turned out well. I like the reflection of the tree into the pound sepia toned. It gives the photograph a whole new look and meaning with the sepia tone. I alos like my other photograph of the car hood. Being that the car is from the 1940's it makes the photograph seem like it is aged from that time era.

Hand Coloring



I intend to use flowers, cars, lions and whatever really comes to mind. With cars I intend to shoot certain parts such as tailslights, specific paint jobs, and anything that may be neat and intersting to hand color. I want to get away from shooting a whole car for this roll. I think I will decide what parts of the image I will color once I have printed out the photo.

Critique:
    I like my hand coloring. My photograph of the tail light came out nice but once I started handcoloring it wasn't easy for me to keep what I wanted to just be the only thing that got colored. I have red paint all around the photograph which I tried to get off but really couldn't all the way which takes away from the photograph. My second photograph turned out fine. The hand coloring was a breeze and there wasn't any problems with that one.

Cross-Processing




Cross processing is the procedure of deliberately developing film in a chemical solution intended for a different type of film.
I intend to use cars as my subject to get the colors colors to either stand out or possibly change a little bit.

Critique:
  - I like most of the pictures that I have taken. They turned out very nice. The colors turned out wonderful. The photos seem to pop and stand out which I really like.

Solarization





For a subject I intend to use metal, chrome maybe a building and possibly a flag. You have to keep this fairly simple because you don't want to have to worry about dodging and burning as well as some crazy lighting.
Critique:
- I like both of my solarized prints. I really like the way the motorcycle engine turned out. I don't have a problem with anything in the photo. I also like the solarized flag. It has an interesting effect with the solarization and I like the effect.

Polaroid Transfer



I intend to use graffiti as my subject for polaroid transfers.

Evaluation: 
- I like both of my polaroid transfers. I think the colors of the transfer are good. There was no problem with any of the transfer with either polaroid. I achieved what I wanted. I looked for good colorful graffiti or just graffiti as a subject and got some pretty neat graffiti for my subject matter.

Layers

There are Seven Layers. One layer is the light brown and crosses. The next one is the reddish,brown bushes. Then comes the green foliage/bushes. Next layer is the the bottom of the mountain with the light grey. Then the next layer is the mountains. Then the next layer is the mountains. The the next layer is the big white cloud. The following layer is the grey clouds at the top of the photo.
-Sam Abel
This photograph has five layers. The first layer being the cow and two men in the front. Then the next layer is the the red bucket. Then there is the two men  with the small cow. Then the naxt layer is the man on the horse. The last layer is the clouds and sky. I don't think there is anything distarcting in the photograph.
This photograph has five layers. The first one being the the closet hill and trees. Then the next layer is the flat top of the ground with the light green. Another layer is is the mountain top. Another layer is the mountains in the background and then another is the sky. There isn't anything distracting in this photography.
-Art Wolfe
This photograph has about five layers. The first being the water or ocean. Then the second is the whales. The third layer being the mountain range. Then the Yellow sky. Then the last layer being the clouds at the top. The whole photo ties together. The subject is the whales but everything is brought together to make the photo better.

Evaluation:
- I like my sky photo. It took awhile to achieve the sky and the whole photo to what I was looking for. The mountains in the photo are a litttle dark but with the dodge and burning process it wasn't easy to keep everything perfect. My other photo is alright too. I should have burned the sky in some more to give it more detail. But over all the photo is decent.

3200 Film


I chose these two photgraphs becasue of the craftmanship and the subjects. Usually when there is a photo of graves or cemetaries it feels dark and sad, with this photo the light adds so much to the photo. The cob webb also adds to the effect of the photo. I like the wedding photo becasue of where the photo was taken. The photographer wasn't to close and he wansn't too far away. The grainy feel makes the photo to me. The photo seems better with the grain. I like the grain in higher speed film. The grain just seems to add one more thing to a photograph. I liked most of my uses of lighting. Sometimes it was a little hard to get enough light but my final two prints came out pretty good. I think I can improve a roll of 3200 by having different lighting situations and different subjects now that I have shot with it once.
