Week 5

During this week I managed to combine all my ideas and realize how I wanted to incorporate them. I was really having difficulty managing how to bring them together, but I think this coming week I will be taking more images in the perspective of a dog, and combine more feeling/emotion into the owners face, because in the former image the feeling wasn’t what I wanted to incorporate. While on break I will be taking action images and try to get the viewer to visually analyze the life of the dog. This week I worked on finding ways and techniques on how to use settings on my camera to be able to catch much clearer images. I managed to take an image of my dog waiting outside in the rain to be placed inside with his family; although I only have one image I worked more this week on finding ways how using my camera will enable me to incorporate more of what I want.

 

Week 4

During this week I wanted to enable the viewer to experience the life of a dog. Since the dog can only see in black in white I made my all my images this week in black in white.  The first image you see is the owner feeding the dog human food. I made the owner look huge by having the camera is at the dog’s eye level. The second image I placed a treat in front of my dog which demonstrates his patience and what he goes through in waiting to be told his commands. The third image ties down to the explanation I just gave. The last two images were taken outside which allows you to view more in depth of what the dog smells witnesses while playing outside. Although the image with the ball in which I added color doesn’t quite go with me giving the viewer the sense of a dog’s life I wanted to add more color to the image just so the feeling isn’t sad rather cheerful because a dog’s life is cheerful when taken outside. Next week I plan to take more images of a dog’s life but perhaps working in adding color to one image, I also plan on taking more action shots of the dog while catching a ball.

I also need to work more on the lighting in the house and editing on Photoshop with the auto contrast if I going to be making the images in black in white. This is another thing I will work with next week with my other images.

Week 3: Bringing ideas together

In this week I have elaborated a vast majority of ideas; however bringing them all together is the trouble I am facing. I am taking images of my dog, but I am not sure if I am just taking images of him or if I am using other dogs. I would like to incorporate other dogs just to allow my concentration to have more variety. This week I tried putting two images together with other colorful and simplistic images I took. I want to try to pursue a message while putting two images together. I also want to include more action shots of my dog. Below I managed to take a couple action shots and you can also see I included the comparison of two images to pursue a message. Perhaps you can see the message right away or it might conclude you to do some thinking. I am still trying to figure out what and how I am going to incorporate my ideas together, but continue taking images will allow me to analyze how I will incorporate my ideas together.
