30 minute pictures

The photos the pictures were based on...

Ellie's project...

This picture was easier then the others since I decided to trace the tree. The reason why I traced was because I thought the tree would be difficult to re-create. I tried to draw it without tracing and I stopped part-way because I didn't like how it turned out. I choose this picture because it was the african sunset with the tree the only thing in the picture. Right now I think of the lion king which is a different variation but much the same.

This one was difficult because it had loads of pools going back towards the towering mountain with the rocky and snowy face. So thats what the blue pools are. I tried to make it so that they would be big and get smaller and smaller but I don't really look like the full picture. I also had trouble with the mountain, trying to get the sides to look like rocks and that you could tell where the rocks ended and where the snow came in in between. 

This one I quite enjoyed... my mom had taught me how to do this last year, how to draw the road and making it shrink as it got farther and farther away from you. That is what I really really like, how the road came out along with the sides. Well the sides a little less, It was also hard to get the shading correct so that you could see that the green grasses and bushes give way to the plain grass that is a different color. For the sky I just drew blue and pink and tried to add the textures in the way that the picture described.

Homework for someone else

Take 40 pictures of things that represent food. I want you to pick 3 colors the objects have to be. So you can only take pictures of objects that remind you of food and within those 3 colors. Now I wan't the main thing in the image to be at least one of those colors that you chose. All the images have to be different. Pick your best 30 and put them on a contact sheet. Write 2-4 paragraphs about the assignment so that next time I can give you something better.

What I liked and didn't

This assignment at first seemed like one of HUGE proportions. I mean on the white board a school it seemed like a lot, but on the blog it seemed much smaller. So when I first started this assignment I started very early on into thanksgiving break but I decided that I didn't like how it went so I stopped. I just didn't like the object I had chosen.
I think that it was difficult to try and be imaginative at finding angles and lighting for your photos. I couldn't figure out how to get my camera's flash off so the lighting changes I made weren't very useful. I would have to try and think up brand new ways fot it to look different in the other ones, but I guess that was the point of the assignment, to find new perspectives. The part that was kind of easy was in the beginning, I mean when you first start out there are a whole bunch of points that you haven't taken pictures from, I mean you can really just go anywhere.

Summery and photos

Patrick Endes is a photographer who lives in Alaska. I noticed that in one of the photos the water was blue! I think he might have highlighted that a little bit. He shoots up close and from a distance but what I have noticed is that in almost all of the photos I saw that he took there was always some mountains. It wasn't just portrait where you could see mountains, he made them part of the picture.

I picked this photo because it reminded me of a path. Leading away into endlessness

 In this one I liked how the clouds interacted with the mountains on the left side.

For this photo I liked how the rock is the center point and the colors of the rock

I liked how the water just streams across the rocks in a blur

For this photo I was so caught by the blueness of the water

I really liked the yellowness of the rocks

I enjoyed how the rocks and how the water seems wispy

It was interesting how the mud looks like little mountains

I like how the mountains are reflected by the clear water

I thought it was creative how he made the grass the dominating part while the rocks are just behind it but make it more creative.

Patrick Endres Paper

Patrick Endres

By Caeden Brusett

Patrick Endres is a photographer who lives in Fairbanks Alaska. He has lived there for almost thirty years. Alaska still amazes him. But he first started out living in Wisconsin. At age eighteen he decided to go and see Alaska and fell in love with it. 

In his professional career he has taken about 30,000 photos of a span of seven-teen years. In my opinion that is a lot. Although to real photographers that might to be very much. He is a freelance photographer and several of his photographs have been seen in many Magazines.

His special is doing theme images in Alaska such as wildlife, nature, people and landscapes.  He mostly does assignments that people give him as well as stock photography. 

The type of camera’s he uses is digital, he uses a Canon EOS 1 series with a 5D Mark II for the light hiking and landscape body. He (like all professional photographers) has different lenses for different purposes. He doesn't use Photoshop, he uses “Lightroom image processing and database management. 

Patrick Endres seems like a very interesting photographer as well as a interesting person. Some of his photos are in children's books besides the magazines. He finds Alaska a very mythical place full of wonder and adventure. He has had a fascination about the colors of the photo as well as the lighting in the photo. Light is a very important part of picture because it gives texture to the photo as well as giving the picture a certain feel to it and it can have you focus on a certain point in the image. I hope that he shoots many more photos.

Lasso tool photo

This is a photo of my ten thumbs certificate. What I did to it was that I deleted the dwarf pointing down at my score. I used the lasso tool and first to get most of him and then I just colored the rest white.

My three pictures

Homework 10-25-2011

This is a picture of 3 candles, I tried to line them up in a arrow like shape. Sadly, they were to close together to create that effect. I pretty much messed with the colors a little bit.

For this one I laid down and shot the leaves at a very very close range. I blurred some stuff sot that it would seem like you would be focusing just on the leaves in like the middle. For this one I messed with colors and sharpened and blurred it.

This is a tree on the side of the road. I boosted up the red so that you could really see the red on the tree.

On this one I blurred the grass a little and sharped the edge of the side walk. I also blacked out some lights.

This is in my backyard of a grape vine, the leaves are turning yellow so that is pretty fall. I tried blurring some stuff as well.

Personality photos

This symbolises that I am food

This shows that I love watching television

This shows that I'm strategic

This shows that I am a tad musical

This shows that I'm growing

It shows that I'm a gamer (ish)

This shows that I enjoy the peace and quiet.

What kind of photography do you like?

I most of the time see the world as a sad troubled place, we aren't fixing any of the problems we created or anything! I don't really have very much that inspires me, some photos inspire me, some of the "city at night" photos I feel inspired by, I don't really have someone who inspires me. I just see people I want to aspire to.

Ways I see my personality through my photography is that I like to have cool angles and most the time be up close but really clear at the same time. Also I like having some things in the photo blurred out so that its a design in the photo. Some hobbies of mine are going on my computer and not doing anything importent. I also like to watch TV and play video games. I think that its sometimes fun just to think about something or try and remember a path to somewhere in my head and I really like to read a comic book while I eat.

Genres I like in photography are cities as well as some wildlife landscape. I really like doing cities (I think it would be cool to do parks) at night.

What I like...

Things I like are, Traveling, trees, those cool photos of city highways at night, video games, drawing rarely when i'm bored as well as Tesla's, (a electronic sports-car that is super super super expensive) the season of winter and rainy days.

Why I like the season of winter is that there are no bee's out as well as I just like it cold. I mean so would you rather be in a house that had no A/C or heating in hot weather or cold? If its cold then you can just dump like six blankets on you and be done with it. Also a added bonus is that there are no bee's out.

I like rainy days because they just seem really quiet and make you want a cup of hot chocolate. One of the down sides is that it makes you not want to do anything.

Somethings that I don't like are bee's, homework, spiders and the sound of people snoring. Now just know those are only a coupe of things that just come off the top of my head.          I don't like bee's because whenever I run around barefoot I always look down in case there is one that i'm about to step on.

What I hope to learn this year

What I hope to learn this year is how do you do the cool city freeway pictures that have the car lights blurred and that just make awesome pictures. I want to learn how to make really cool Panorama's and just be able to take some pictures and turn them into a really cool panorama photo. Then also this year I want to learn computer design since it just seems like something that is really interesting to do.


This year I want to get to the point where I can sell my pictures for road-trip money.

Thanks so much Jonny for teaching this year!
