Panoramic #1





Date: 10/8/10 Time: 8:12 a.m. Location: Bannack, MT F-stop: f/5.6 Shutter Speed:1/100 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i

I got up early on Saturday and headed out to the sand dunes in hopes to get some good panoramic photos for this project. I was kind of disappointed at how dreary and cloudy the morning was... but it's amazing what you can do with photo editing! I really like how this one turned out.

Bannack Best

Here are just a few of my favorites from the trip. I'd love to go back up and spend more time. I love capturing a lot of contrasting colors in my photos and I think that really brings out a lot in them. I especially like Yellow Walls. The photo really captures the old, wearing feel of the room that was once beautiful.

It was a really good experience to use this program! This is such a cool editing technique and I know I'll use it a lot in the future.

Abstract

I really like these pictures and the Abstract final product that came out. The wood texture put a cool worn look on top of the cement water pipe. I thought it was really cool that the top of the pipe had that vivid blue.

School House

Fence

Date: 9/29/10 Time: 3:00 p.m. Location: Bannack, MT F-stop: f/5.6 Shutter Speed:1/400 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Camera Raw, adjusted exposure, contrast, and saturation increased on sky
*Same info for both pictures

This is a very cool technique to get a variety of depths in your picture. If both the fence and school house were in focus they would blend in to each other. But since one is more in focus than the other it gives a very real depth of field.

Ghost

Date: 9/29/10 Time: 12:30 p.m. Location: Bannack, MT F-stop: f/22 Shutter Speed: 20 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Camera Raw, exposure

I loved taking these pictures, especially the ghost one. It was a good experience and I really learned a lot about shutter speed and getting correct exposure to make a person appear transparent.

Portraits - Bannack Trip

Shane

Date: 9/29/10 Time: 1:06 p.m. Location: Bannack, MT F-stop: f/13 Shutter Speed:1/60 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Camera Raw, adjusted exposure and contrast
Mandy

Date: 9/29/10 Time: 10:00 a.m. Location: Dubois, ID F-stop: f/5 Shutter Speed:1/500 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Camera Raw, adjusted exposure, saturation and contrast

I love taking portraits of people. I like capturing really unique expressions on faces (little kids are the best). I had to adjust the exposure on Mandy the most because her face was shaded. It turned out great I think though!
