Schmidt's Photos

Panorama: 

I took this panoramic shot of Lincoln High School in the front patio. I put my camera on my tripod and then moved it while taking several photos and overlapping them. After I took the photos and edited them in Lightroom, I then used photoshop to merge all of them together and to create a panorama of the school. I really like how the picture turned out, with the school being bent, because it adds a certain spice to the boring building. 

HDR: 

I took these three photos on my front porch of my neighbors house. It was a really sunny day and I loved the house hidden behind the trees in my yard. I think the three photos look a lot better overlapped rather than being by themselves.

Multiple Exposure: 

These two photos were taken at Multnomah Falls. I took a close up shot of the water fall. I then took a zoomed out photo of the same waterfall and overlapped the two. It created a very foggy and misty looking photo.

Motion Photos

Slow Motion:

























I took this photo in a pitch black closet. I set my shutter speed to fifteen seconds and held a flashlight in my hand. I positioned myself, turned on the light for a second, turned it off and then moved. I repeated that four times so that over the course of fifteen seconds, I appeared in four different areas.

Freeze Action: 

This is a photo of the bottom part of Multnomah Falls. It is an example of freeze action because everything is stopped, including the moving water. I like the color in this photos and the symmetry.

Total Motion:

I took this photo on the vista bridge at night when only the city lights were lighting the sky. I set the shutter speed to about one third and then moved the camera while it was taking the photo. This created the lines of color which look really cool.

Panning:

This picture was taken on my front porch. The boy in the picture is my neighbor who loves to ride his bike at high speeds up and down our street. It's fun watching him ride every afternoon and so I decided he would be the perfect model for this motion assignment. I set my shutter speed to one fortieth of a second and moved my camera along with him. This created a blurry background but a still Adam.

Diptych and Triptych Photos

Diptych Photo:

These photos were taken at a little restaurant in Florence, Italy. I chose these because I love food and really enjoyed this meal. I also like how there is a before and after effect.

Triptych Photo:

I took these photos on the walls of Ferrara, Italy. My sisters and I figured out how to make shadows on the wall. We had a lot of fun goofing around and I like how they all connect.

Shape Assignment

Asymmetrical and Geometric Shapes:

I took this photo in Florence, Italy during my vacation over the winter break. I like this photo because of the strong geometric shapes and asymmetrical balance. The lines of the building and river lead to the bridge in the background and it gives the photo a very geometric feel. I also really like the leading lines in this photo and the color. 

Radial Balance and Geometric Shapes:



This photo was also taken in Italy. I took it in one of the dungeons in a castle. The amazing part about this artwork is that it is high on the ceiling. It makes me wonder how the prisoner was able to make the markings so high above ground. I liked the shape of the checkered circle and the parts of the wall that have fallen off. I also like the contrast of the black and white and the letters written in the squares.

Best Color Photos

My Best Grid

This grid is made up of nine separate photos of sour patch that I placed carefully into letters. I like this grid because it's original and fun. I decided to use photos of candy because Sour Patch Kids are my favorite and I love how the colors are so distinct and bright.

History of Photography Photographer

Paul Strand

I really like this photo by Paul Strand because of the texture and pattern of the propeller. The black and white makes the photo more powerful and mysterious because at first glance you can't tell what it is. The lines moving away from the center, bring out the shape of the propeller.
