Week 6 - Filters

This one I didn't use an actual filter, but did use a 20-40mm wide angle lens. However, I felt the lens acted as a filter, since it let in more light and diffused it compared to #2 where it let in less light. So lenses not only show more or less of a composition but also allow more or less light in too. It almost acts appears as if I had a back light position from a high angle, which is really just a window I have near the peak of the ceiling, but this is seen differently in the other photos.

Cherished Memories-1

This one I used a UV filter with my 24-85 mm lens. I also used this lens the following photos too. This one isn't as bright as #1 since this lens isn't a wide angle lens. The light is less diffused. In comparison to the next two it doesn't evoke my emotions too much other than it is nice and is interesting to view, and is it a bit warmer feeling than #1.

Cherished Memories-2

This one I used a Polarization filter. It darkened the photo similar to looking through sunglasses. I still like it even though it is a little dark. This gives the photo a somber and subdued look and feeling.

Cherished Memories-3

This one I used an Enhancement filter. This one is my favorite, because I like how it intensifies the hue of the pink flowers. It has an overall bright and cheery feeling compared to #3.

Week 5 - Filters

This is the shot without any filters. I thought it would help to have a comparison for all the filter shoots.

Original Bottle

The filter used below is a nylon. I think it gives the photos a vintage look.

Nylon-1

Nylon-2

The filter used below is a dark magenta gel. I wanted red so the green bottle would be very black and the black necklace an even more saturated black, but I couldn't find this gel.

Gel-1

Gel-2

The filter used below is a pool skimmer which has a blue hue, I call it pool blue, and is just slightly noticeable.

Pool Skimmer-2

The filter used below is a window screen. These are also the only ones with sun because the first ones I took using this filter I didn't like, and when I went back out a little later the clouds had broken up, so it's sort of hard to see, but if compared to the original with no filter there is a slight difference, but I think the sun sort of interferes with being able to see the effect of the filter.

Week 4- Critique

I chose this photo out of all the manual photos because the color was the closest, the lighting was as accurate representation of the overcast afternoon, and the focus was the best. Some had one or another attribute, but I felt this one had all of them.
