Camera Overview

This semester I’m using a Nikon D3400 digital camera. After reading the manual I’ve discovered a few new capabilities of my camera. Using the SnapBridge app, I can connect a phone or tablet to my camera with bluetooth. There is also an option to record videos using the live view mode. Additionally, there are a wide variety of “scene” modes. There is a portrait, landscape, child, sports, close up, and night portrait options. Each mode automatically selects the best settings for each focus. These are just a few of the effects I discovered while reading the manual.

Amalgamation

Below are my two versions of amalgamations based off of work from Nancy Burson. I ran in quite a few difficulties with these works. First, I'm brand new to photoshop and had a lot of trouble navigating through all the tools.  For my Nancy Burton style amalgamation, I really struggled with aligning the portraits on top of each other. Everyone's face structure is different and it's hard to make the facial features line up, specifically the eyes. I also struggled with choosing the right opacity. I didn't want one image to be stronger than the other because then you couldn't see features from all the portraits. For my free-style amalgamation, I had trouble cropping the images to fit all six portraits in the frame. I was also difficult to vertically align the heads. However, I'd say my photoshop skills have improved from this project. Free-style amalgamation Nancy Burson Amalgamation

Rules for Final Artist Emulation

For my final project I want myself to... One thing I've been trying to work on is pulling out on my subjects and getting a larger view. A lot of the time I close in too close to the subject. I want to instead pull back and crop in during post production if necessary. take shots at multiple angles Have a range of both vertical and horizontal pictures Capture white skies, this was a trend of Frank Breuer. Another habit of Breuer's is that he likes to distort images by neglecting to show scale. Therefore, I am trying to avoid having an objects in my shots such as cars or people, that show scale.
