DPP: Assignment 3: First Look

It was a rare cloudy morning this past Friday when I visited the old Christian cemetery.  Took lots of good images and look forward to a sunset visit this coming weekend.

DPP: Exercise 17: Colors into Tones 1

The brief for this exercise calls for manipulating the tones of a black and white image.  The image in question should have strong contrasting colors, such as this one with red and green.  A b&w control was then produced and copies of this were manipulated to demonstrate how colors-as-tones can be exercised.    

DPP: Exercise 15: Black and White

The brief for this assignment class for the production of a black-and-white image.  Technically, this is not difficult to do, either in-camera or afterwards on the computer.  With the Nikon D5100, I selected RAW+Fine image capture, and set the jpg capture to b&w.  While I had to compose in color, I was able to view the monochrome b&w on the camera LCD.  

DPP: Exercise 14: Interpretative Processing

The purpose of this exercise is to experiment with interpretations of a photographic image through the tools provided in processing software.  My program of choice is Lightroom and included here are photos of recent vintage that were shot and processed before arriving at this exercise.  I display them here as evidence that I understand the intention of the exercise.

Assignment Four: Applying Lighting Techniques

Introduction

I got stuck.

For weeks I fretted about how best to tackle this assignment.  I had whipped through the exercises in the course of a week’s vacation, but when I began to think about how to approach the assignment I was restrained by a lack of confidence.  I read books about lighting.  I watched videos about lighting.  But I never got any closer to actually doing the assignment. 

Exercise 25: Colors into BW Tones

The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate how color is turned into black-and-white tones.  The brief calls for shooting a single image of a subject of red, green, blue and yellow, and then in post processing applying those same color filters to observe the shift to tones.
