Cyanotype 

Before

A Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. The process uses two chemicals: ammonium iron(III) citrate and potassium ferricyanide. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blue prints.

After

This image was created by selecting the texture of my photo as the background. Then I added multiple layers of texture. I added one layer that was plain but used my brush and brushed the sides black. I used the grass brush to give the sides a feeling of grass then switched to a different brush to cover the outer parts of the layer. After putting the layers together I had them all multiply so that it look like this.

 Daguerreotype

 Before 

A daguerreotype, was the first publicly announced photographic process and for nearly twenty years was the one most commonly used. It was invented by Louis Daguerre and introduced in 1839. To make a daguerreotype, the daguerreotypes polished a sheet of silver plated copper to a mirror finish; treated it with fumes that made its surface light-sensitive; exposed it in a camera for as long as was judged to be necessary, which could be as little as a few seconds for brightly sunlit subjects or much longer with less intense lighting; made the resulting latent image on it visible by fuming it with mercury vapor; removes its sensitivity to light by liquid chemical treatment; rinsed and dried it; then sealed the easily marred result behind glass in a protective
surface light-sensitive; exposed it in a camera for as long as was judged to be necessary, which could be as little as a few seconds for brightly sunlit subjects or much longer with less intense lighting; made the resulting latent image on it visible by fuming it with mercury vapor; removed its sensitivity to light by liquid chemical treatment; rinsed and dried it; then sealed the easily marred result behind glass in a protective enclosure.

After 

This image was created by creating 3 layers. One layer was the the actual image, another layer was a texture that I used to dissolve with the actual image. The texture I used was a haunting texture. I used it because its color is light brownish, which fit perfectly for a daguerreotype.

Gum Bichromate

Before 

A Gum Bichromate is a 19th century photographic printing process based on the light sensitivity of a cyanotype. It is capable of rendering painterly images from photographic negatives. Gum printing is a multi-layered printing process, but satisfactory results may be obtained from a single pass. Any color can be used for gum printing, so natural-color photographs are also possible by using this technique in layers. 

After

This image was created from a cyanotype. I added a layer that that tinted the image to a lighter blue. I really liked the frame that I created with the eraser. I did this by selecting the grass brush and started erasing with it. The next thing I did was I lowered the contrast and increased the brightness of the photo.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

 I created this image by taking multiple images of the same thing but with different exposure. I brought a tripod with me, to prevent a blur on the photo when it came to a very slow shutter speed. Once I have my shots I imported it into light room. I selected the images and merge to HDR in Photoshop. After merging it into an HDR I shifted the tone curve of the Image. As you can see in the picture above the middle left part of the image is darker than the other places. I did this on purpose to make the building stand out more. Same with the stairs on the building, they are brighter than its surroundings. This gives a very cool feeling of the image. I find this image a bit surreal.

Panorama

This image was created by taking 6 portrait format pictures and merging them into Photoshop. I used a tripod for this image and a manual setting with a shutter speed of 1 second and aperture of 23. The ISO was around 200. I tried to overlap each image by 40% but sometimes I made mistakes which caused me to do it again. I chose a mode of spherical for the mode of my panorama. I then cropped the image cause there were white laps, but still didn't get rid of all of the white laps. I then used perspective wrap to achieve my goal to have no white spaces in the photo. And the final out come was this. The reason I didn't add any filters to this photo is because I like the original copy of it, and how it reminds us what reality is.

Panorama

The first step to create this image was to pick a subject and I happened to choose the city landscape from the Hawthorn Bridge. Starting from the left I took 6 images that overlap each other. The images I took for this panorama were in landscape form. I was forced to go into manual because I have to have the exact same settings for each image, which is also one of the reasons why I used a tripod. Later on I imported this into light room and merged to panorama photoshop. I chose spherical for the template layout. At first the out come of this image wasn't very good, it was unevenly distributed at the top and bottom of the photo. This made me crop the image to get rid of most of the white spaces. The next step was that I went into perspective wrap to edit this photo. I adjusted the image so that it looks proportionally even. The final step of editing this photo was I added some contrast and saturation to it. I decreased the temperature so that it would give a colder mood.

Multiple Exposure

This photo was created by taking 3 images and then combing them in Photoshop. One picture was of the city landscape which you can see the American flag on top of the building. The other photo was just a picture of the river and the third image is about the suburbs at the bottom. I combined this image in photoshop. I like this photo because its evenly distributed, how the dock matches the city and the suburbs.

Multiple Exposure

This image was created by taking multiple picture and combing them together. I combined 3 photos, two pictures of the bridge and another one of the city. This image was created in Photoshop. At first it gave me a very bazaar look, so I tried fiddling with the tone of the image to make it better. I tried toning it green but it still didn't give me a satisfying look. Black and white was what made this image stand out.

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.
