Displacement


For your next Photography project, you will explore the idea of absence, or "nothingness".

Look at the images and imagine how they were achieved--what would you have to do to recreate that effect? (And) How many images would it take?
Your challenge is to take this concept of removing/displacing parts of an image and make it your own.

Purposely blurring an image can serve a range of purposes and convey a variety of different meanings.   Blurring can occur through motion of the camera, motion of the subject or shallow depth of focus in the camera settings.  The juxtaposition between a blurry portion of an image and a portion of an image that is razor sharp can be particularly effective, often conveying a strong sense of  Emphasis . Blurring can also be achieved post-production through image processing (Photoshop). Here are some effective examples of purposely blurred photography. Below the images are links to more information. Explore them or do your own web research to gather ideas for your  Blurred  project. http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/03/02/in-pictures-30-great-examples-of-motion-blur-photography/ http://digital-photography-school.com/a-beginners-to-capturing-motion-in-your-photography/ http://www.sm...

Project 2, 4th Quarter "Ovoids"

Non-Denominational, Spring Ovoids That Just Might Be Appropriate  For The Mid-April Holiday Of Your Choice https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/144933-traditional-patterned-easter-eggs-vectors We will continue this week with another Pixlr-based Project intended to enhance your familiarization with Pixlr and the Pixlr workspace. Your challenge will be to *(convincingly) apply an image/pattern/design to ovoid shapes.  For the purposes of demonstration eggs are employed, but you could use any ovoid shape--a football, or um, a rugby ball, or, OK, I'm stumped.  Make it easy on yourself and use an image of eggs.   You may use the image below: You can also find a different copy-right free image online or, if you are ambitious (or hungry) create your own image. In any event, you will need a picture of at least 3 eggs. The Project can be completed in Photoshop as well as Pixlr, but if you are going to use PS, you will want ...

Encroach Your next project deals with the power of natural forces on a man-made world. The photos below are examples of the concept (Although, these are  actual  photographs, yours will be composites of original and found images).  The link below will take you to more examples. Mother Nature Think in terms of the juxtapositions between the reality of the man-made world and that of the inexorable power of nature. You will be looking for a high-contrast concept, rather than a subtle, low-contrast idea. The stronger the conceptual contrast, the more successful the image will be. If you need supplemental photos to incorporate into your composition (that you are unable to take), you may use copyright-free photos you find on the web.
