Kaleidoscopes

This Kaleidoscope I made was taken originally a brick wall. The wall had its unique features such as having a bumpy surface that was carved in to resemble a tree. After taking this photo, I cropped out some of the spaces that I didn't need and only kept the contrast of texture. I rotated the image around so it would be recognized once it's put into a Kaleidoscope. I add some warm feelings to it by turning up the saturation of the color orange and red. And finally I made it into a kaleidoscope. This was the second to last step, the next step, I took the original kaleidoscope and formed it into another kaleidoscope making it a kaleidoscope within a kaleidoscope.

This image was originally taken on our walking field trip. This was an image of the fountain, and because there were green mole the color green appears in the kaleidoscope. I added a bit more green when this picture was imported into light room. I cropped the image leaving a very specific part of the image left. Which is the color brown shown above. I rotated the image made it into a ka
This original photo that created this was a picture of laying down on the floor. After a couple extreme edits I rotated the photo 30 degrees to the left. Then I cropped the image that shaped this and turned it into a kaleidoscope.  I decide to have the top right corners facing inwards while the bottom left face outwards.
The original photo was a spider hanging in the bush . After importing this into light room I turned  the saturation for red higher. I also added more green so that there would be contrast in colors. After creating this kaleidoscope, a white line appeared in the middle. To fix that I used photo shop and got rid of the white line.  

This is a kaleidoscope within a kaleidoscope. I made a kaleidoscope then using that kaleidoscope I created another kaleidoscope. The kaleidoscope that made this is the one shown above.This is one of my favorite kaleidoscope because in the center it has a different color and texture than the rest.

Triptych and Diptych

This is a Diptych of a piano. The process of creating this started off by taking this with mode M. With the help of the flash I was able to create a brighter and shinier picture. These pictures have the exact same mood. Once imported into light room I combined the two images and edited as a whole. The reason I did this was because I didn't want to change the mood that these two images share. By lowering the exposure and increasing the recovery, it gave me a depth of feel.
This is a triptych that was originally created by taking three of the same subject but in three different positions. After importing my images into light room I experienced with these three images by adding colors first. Noticing that colors really didn't fit the mood of this triptych I set the image into black and white. Then I cropped all three images so that they would fit perfectly while they were still in the same position.

Pictures I took that show Contrast

 Contrast in texture: This shows contrast in texture because one side of the brick wall is smooth while the other wall is bumpy.
 Contrast in color: This shows contrast in color because green and red are opposite colors making the spider stand out because of its contrast color.
 Contrast in texture:This shows contrast in texture because the leaves are smooth while the white flowers are sharper.
Contrast in asymmetrical: The trees standing on opposite sides shows asymmetrical. I really like the colors of this image, it creates a sense of comfort because of the warm colors.
