Solarisation

Solarisation and Sabatier are techniques origionally used in the dark room. But through the years it became more popular in digital photography. Solarisation is an over exposure of a negative. It highlights the dark parts of the photo. Also it can take the opposite of an image. You can use black and white or color to do this technique. There is posative and negative solarisation. To do this you change the S curve of the photo to make a U or and upside down U.

Pictoralism

Pictoralism is shown in many photographs now a day. It gives it an old fashioned looking quality to it. This artistic movement was lead by Alfred Stieglitz, this group of photographers thought it created personal expression in the early 20th century. The characteristics of pictoralism has a variety of techniques which include: black and white, soft focus, special filters, heavy manipulation, high contrast, lighting techniques, rough paper, brushes, paints and etching tools on surface of a photo, and alternative priting processes like sepia, carbon and platinum. To make a photo have the pictoralistic look i mostly changed my S curve and changed it for different colors like red green and blue. Also by altering the vibrance and contrast it gives it a different look. I like the way this looks in photographs and would use it again.

Kaleidoscope

For this assignment, we made kaleidoscope pictures by cutting apart a photo and duplicating and rotating the image. We use photoshop to do this. By doing this, we acheive a photo that has intricate design that looks abstract. I enjoyed this assignment because it was very cool to learn how to make photos look like that, and it actually looks like youre looking through a kaleidoscope.
