Re: Surreal Masterpieces

Hello all,

Well I was unsuccessful in posting my pics on fotothing. So I had to post them on flickr. For all who want to view you may visit yankeegurl_2000@flickr.com. By the way it has been a pleasure taking this class and sharing pictures with you all. Have a wonderful holiday, good luck, and God Bless.

time after time

This was a fun experience, very different. I want to try anther one...

Surreal Masterpieces

This is what I came up with so far. I am trying to post more on Fotothing, but unable to because the pics are not in JPG format. So I am in the process of trying to figure out how to change them over. In the meantime I hope you all enjoy.

I am so sorry I have been neglecting you all. It has been so busy with registration beginning for MOD 3. I am posting this weeks assignment and I will try to catch up on last weeks. Everyone is really doing some fantastic things!!. As you see I don't have much of an imagination, this was harder than I thought!!

I needed to save my uploads to my fotothing account, so I could catch up. So, here are some additional projects for this week.

I really enjoyed doing this assignment and enjoyed seeing what everyone else created. It's very dream like and imaginative!

I think I finally got the hang of it.

As you finish up your assignments, I thought it would be helpful to you to have a checklist to use to go over your assignments. I'll be doing the grades later this week and I'll be using this to go by. I know some of you have fallen behind and I want you to know that it is okay to make up the work and not be penalized. In the future, I will institute a week by week grade for each student to help you stay on track. There is a link on the right in the links section and here it is as well:

As you know, there is a 5 image per day limit to the free version of fotothing. If that is a problem for you, you can either upgrade your acct to pro, or open another account at another Photo sharing site such as flickr.com, www.kodakgallery.com and the like... they are free.

Thanks Jessica... I posted Ryan's portrait as a great example of the window light project on the criteria ckecklist.

So Sureal

I would be happy if I could paint or draw any one of the back drops. This was a blast playing with the software. The possibilities are limitless.

Fake Fotos

I had a good time with this week's assignment but I could not upload any of them to my fotothing account even though I saved them as both bmp and jpg files so if anyone has any suggestions, I will gladly take them. I actually named my pictures. They are All Seeing, Rings of Fire, Smokescreen, Time Flies, Airplane Fantasy, Apple Martini, Checkerboard Square and Eclectic. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed my classmates contributions.

Ok, now this was AWESOME!!! I wish we could've done more of this type of work! I never even knew these types of sites were available.

I had a lot of fun using the different color variations, images and my imagination.

I had some trouble trying to figure out how to save it, but I finally did. I had so much fun, I may try to do another one!

I may not have an eye with a camera, but I think I've got something here!

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Portraits

The first picture is of my dog, Lulu. The second shot was of my boyfriend, Jay, when he was sleeping. (If you look close enough, you can see he is still holding on to the remote control. ) And the last picture is of the both of them. I could tell they were both annoyed with me by the end of the night.

Final Week!

We are getting down to the end, everyone...Grades have to go in next week on Thursday the 20th... So be sure to check off all of the assignments and make sure you have several good ones from each week... at a minimum, they need to be sharp (usually) and exhibit a sensitive appreciation of light (no flash and most indoor light from lights).... I have responded to each image I felt was worthy of credit in your fotothing portfolios.

Our last project is fun and gets you to play with composited images and and dreamscapes... It is hard to combine images without photoshop and so I have asked you to head over to the Wadsworth Atheneum site where they have kept up a very cool java application that lets you create your own surreal masterpieces in no time... Read my instructions carefully how to capture it and post it here and to your fotothing acct. Basically you press "print screen" on your computer keyboard (pc's)... that puts the whole screen in the computer's memory as an image then you need to open paint (start>all programs>accessories>paint. Now paste (edit>paste) the screen shot in and use the square select tool and outline your image. Next go edit>copy to and name your file and save it to a place where you can find it again... From there you can up load it to here and fotothing...

Here is an example from a previous Mod....

Have fun!

Week 6 Portraits

My subject for this week is our dog Honey. She is a Bichon who we rescued from a shelter in NJ. As you can see from her photos she thinks she's a movie star. We lost her mate and our best friend Buddy Bichon this past Easter to cancer. In his memory I will post his photos on fotothing.

Winter is tough

I was out again the last few weeks freezing my butt off fighting with a battery that hates cold weather....here is what I've come up with. There are more on fotothing.

Macro Assignment, part deux

Okay, I'm trying this again, this time with the macro setting turned on (Thanks Jerry!). Same subject matter, hopefully with better results. Enjoy.

Sorry everyone, I don't know what happend to my first post. The pictures didn't upload correctly.... I'll try agian.
