Project 7: Photo Effects

Daguerrotype

This is my daguerrotype picture. I took it of the hawthorne bridge, and I liked in the original picture of the bridge because of the branches coming in from the side, but also the simplicity of the picture. I decided that it would look nice for a daguerrotype because of the main focus on the bridge and vignetter that would capture it, and also how it would be realistic that it was made by using the daguerrotype technique. I edited it in photoshop, and used a certain texture to bring out the bridge and contrast well. Overall, I think it demonstrates the daguerrotype technique well.

Tilt Shift

This is my tilt shift photo. I took the photo off of Vista Bridge, attempting to catch the car in the middle of the subject matter, and being the main focus. Because of the vantage point and focus on the car, I thought it would be a good photo to make my tilt shift. I kept the main focus point on the car, and blurred the surroundings. I increased the saturation and the radius in order to provide the tilt shift effect, creating the illusion that the car is smaller than it actually is. I edited the contrast, and then I was finished.
