Week 2 - The Passing of Time
#oneperday2017
Title: My friend's house - photographs of her doorway with the windows casting a shadow onto the carpet and a pair of worn-in shoes left by the door.
Technique/ Process: : I used a Canon EOS 500D DSLR Camera to take each picture - 1/125, 7.1, +1 and 1/320, 5.0, +1, 1/30, 4.0 . I then enhanced the first one by amplifying the colours. I made the second image black and white, to bring out the gems on the shoes.
Reasoning: I took these pictures because they show time through light and time through the placement of the shoes right next to the door, and how they have been worn in. I also wanted to take this picture of the door/light because the door is slightly halfway closed which shows how it's been used in everyday life.
Reflection: I think both of the pictures show how such a small area of space shows so much use and history in someones home. I thought it was a strong connection to the theme this week.

Technique/ Process:

Technique/ process: I took a picture from the internet and drew the outlines of the mushrooms with a pencil then i used watercolours to fill in with colour. I let the watercolour dry and added back the detail i had drawn originally.
Reasoning: I wanted to make the mushrooms look like they were decaying to show the cycle of a mushrooms life.
Reflection: I am really proud of this water- colour, because it was hard to keep the colours clean and not bleeding into each other

Reasoning: I wanted to get the reflection of the light in a mirror.
Reflection: This is one of my favourite pictures I've taken so far i really like how the light gets stronger and clearer in the middle, and how it reflects onto the mirror. it also reminds me of space.

Reasoning: I wanted to see what kind of light the candles would show
Reflection: i wish the candles were a bit stronger and less shaky.

Technique/ Reflection: We used a white light to outline a classmate’s body, but one side was a bit skewed. Looks like some sort of symbolism for a split personality. I used my Olympus EPL 7 camera S 6", F22, -5.0, 14mm, ISO low.
Reasoning: We wanted to create a simple outline of The figure.
Reflection:
I prefer the second one to the purple and blue because it has more personality, but they both came out really nice.

Week 8 - Textures and Patterns
#oneperday2017
Title: Unity
Technique/ Process: I found this plant that has very unified leaves that line up in a pattern, they close up when the sun goes down, so i caught them half-way closing in the afternoon. I used my Olympus EPL-7 camera on: 320, F9.0, 17mm, ISO 200. I wanted the catch the sun in the picture as well so i tilted my camera up a bit to get that stream of light.
Reasoning: I wanted to take a picture of these leaves because i have never seen this kind or unified pattern in these kinds of leaves, usually they grow wherever there is sunlight, but these grow in harmony.
Reflection: I thought this was a good representation of 'pattern' in nature.
#oneperday2017
Left, Title: Lamps 'n books -
Technique/ Process: I created a simple pattern of an old-fashioned lamp and an open book to match with it. I drew out the object first with pen and then i put them into photoshop where i created this pattern.
Reasoning: I wanted to use purple and orange because they are kind of regal colours and i thought it matched with the rest of the theme. We had to make a mathematical pattern so i wanted to make it look simple but interesting.
Reflection: I really like this pattern, although i might have added a smaller item to make it a group of three and also make them in varying sizes.
Right, Title: Tiny trees -
Technique/ Process: I found these delicate plants that have a lot of thin green 'branches' on them. I took a picture of them from underneath with my Olympus EPL - 7 camera on 400, F10, 14mm, ISO 200.
Reasoning: I thought that this plant was very textured and intricate so i wanted to use it for my texture in nature photo but i wanted to take it from an interesting angle.
Reflection: I really like how the lights being captured in this as well as the plant's texture, although i would have liked to get a distinguished picture of just the small plant instead of capturing the trees above as well.
#oneperday2017
Title: Skin
Technique/ Process: I took a picture of my cheek skin for my own texture. I use my Olympus EPL- 7 camera on 80, F5.6, 36mm, IS0 800. I set up a light directly above the camera when i took this. I edited this picture in photoshop to bring up the contrast a little bit.
Reasoning: i am not a huge fan of looking at my skin this closely but i though there was a lot of texture to account for.
Reflection: i think this picture turned out really clear, as you can even see the little hairs on my cheek and also my freckles.
#oneperday2017
Title: Old mossy tennis ball
Technique/ Process: I used my Olympus camera on 160, F6.3, 14mm, ISO 200 to capture this picture, i used natural lighting as i was outside.
Reasoning: I found a really old tennis ball in my backyard and thought it would be a good picture of man-made texture.

Week 9 - Image Manipulation
These are the five images i used in my Manipulated Image.
#oneperday2017
Title - Trifecta
Technique/ Process: I used 4 images in this image manipulation, I put them all into photoshop and created this.

Reflection: I didn't know where i was going with this one but i really like the fish and the ocean in the background.
These are the five original images i used in my Manipulated image, I wanted to use completely different images so that the 'world i created would be bright and colourfull.
