Well, I spent most of my spring break inside stuck in bed because I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed the Friday that spring break began! Not fun!!! :( It took me almost the whole week to recover and when I was finally feeling well enough to get out of the house I wanted to shoot outdoors, after a week of being cooped up inside! So I guess my theme would be the outdoors, but I specifically shot in two different locations that were as far away as I could get at the time! I don't know if any of you have noticed the pond/rock/water thingy at the corner where Kenaston turns into Bishop Grandin, but is is an awesome spot just to go to get away even though it is still inside the city! Plus there isn't much access to get there, but one of my friend's back yards goes onto that field, so I always have a place to escape to! It was the perfect time of the year that the water from the stream was just peaking through the rocks to get some awesome shots, but also a few wet toes! And we also went on a little road trip all the way down Brady Road... well I guess you can't really call it a road trip per say because it only connects Mcgillvary to the Perimeter Hwy right by Brady Land fill ( Oh the adventures of the south end of the city!!!) but, there are some awesome trees down Brady to shoot, so its so worth the far travels! hahaha It was definitely nice to get out of the house after being cooped up for dayyss! And even though I couldn't drive to these locations because I was still under the influence of T3's and what not... I still was able to take some shots, thank god I had my friends around!!!<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwOe19zK66fiZ1gLxAt7U5bTvw04ch-xQi_qIz5-GjjwiTtZ15AqyEpYvTtdH4BBQBI3sBFh8D04igwxSKsDn4o3xEpqg06Y8N8qPKH4ckfBoyEca7WPl2yC0r-_J6fUKgq56qesNfothn/s1600/100409KR04SN.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwOe19zK66fiZ1gLxAt7U5bTvw04ch-xQi_qIz5-GjjwiTtZ15AqyEpYvTtdH4BBQBI3sBFh8D04igwxSKsDn4o3xEpqg06Y8N8qPKH4ckfBoyEca7WPl2yC0r-_J6fUKgq56qesNfothn/s320/100409KR04SN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460595088852567826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyj07vJL4cM4uL6TNfNioXHuCVlk14JPKqnAPDj5h3s208UiarygAkWJCyBdFAqujbnBJh8quieTUfL2ePfz2rJpg4yqMHOmmM9xDpGiBfEs8rLOGuj8Yx0hLIrHk52YrjVrPwH7hZfyp0/s1600/100409KR03SN.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyj07vJL4cM4uL6TNfNioXHuCVlk14JPKqnAPDj5h3s208UiarygAkWJCyBdFAqujbnBJh8quieTUfL2ePfz2rJpg4yqMHOmmM9xDpGiBfEs8rLOGuj8Yx0hLIrHk52YrjVrPwH7hZfyp0/s320/100409KR03SN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460594820212822082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhosNz9IDsFO2kzrBlkjjt2fYyn0SMrtilnDFIXqT8x2OvLRMHONoou8HArzGtscBBYg5o8QnHfha8oPMWhMVN3v9079cRqb7NfU-wsjxBVgacZyb5uFPrhVWtn9vhJhdkxhdnbZzcPq1h4/s1600/100409KR02SN.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhosNz9IDsFO2kzrBlkjjt2fYyn0SMrtilnDFIXqT8x2OvLRMHONoou8HArzGtscBBYg5o8QnHfha8oPMWhMVN3v9079cRqb7NfU-wsjxBVgacZyb5uFPrhVWtn9vhJhdkxhdnbZzcPq1h4/s320/100409KR02SN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460594570102888898" /></a><br /><div><br /></div>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-39844029429097589922010-02-25T10:55:00.001-08:002010-02-25T10:55:25.188-08:00MOVIE WEEK EXTRAVAGANZA!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; ">Last week at school we had movie week, which was an opportunity to view up to 6 movies that were photography related. It was a nice chance to take a break from all of our projects and enjoy some tasty treats! The three movies I chose to watch were O' Brother, Where Art Thou?, One Hour Photo and Pecker and I really loved all three of them!<div><br /></div><div>I had seen O' Brother, Where Art Thou? before but years ago and didn't remember much about it. Before we watched the movie we watched a short documentary about how the movie was made. It is so interesting how they are able to shoot straight clean film and then post process it afterwards to give it that old looking feel. I never knew this was possible because before I never really thought anything about how movies are made. It totally makes so much sense that they go through similar post processing and editing techniques as photography because obviously it is not shot the way we view them, but it never crossed my mind how it was done... and now I know! Not all movies go through the same editing processes, like this one was shot, then digitally scanned and then put back onto film to be viewed. Not every movie goes through this for the special effect but they all must go through some kind of editing process and I give props to whoever' s job that is because that is A LOT of frames to go through!!! Having seen this movie the first time and then watching the documentary about the way they edited it before I watched it the second time I felt that I noticed a lot more in the movie the second time around and I also had a lot more appreciation for the technical side of things. Story wise, I also really enjoyed the movie! It had a cute but hilarious story line and amazing actors!</div><div>I'd give it at least 4 stars****!</div><div><br /></div><div>The second movie I watched was One Hour Photo and wow what an interesting but slightly, no wait veryyy creepy movie! But, I wouldn't doubt there are actually people in photo labs who are just like that! It really opens our eyes up to realize we really aren't the only ones who see our photos and it is scary what other people can do! I'm totally not saying I think every lab goes through our photos but think about it people, somewhere in this world it has got to be happening!!! Before this movie we also watched a short documentary about how they shot this movie. They explained how they used different lenses for different feels in the different kinds of scenes, just like photography. They used wide angle lenses when the main character was working in the lab, this made the room look large and gave the feeling he was comfortable in there. They used telephoto lenses to make the main character look small when he was out in public and he didn't really stand out from anyone else when he was feeling alone. Just like the other movie I never thought about these things, I didn't know they could use different lenses when filming movies but now that I know it makes so much sense. I even noticed it while watching the movie and could tell the difference between lenses when I never have before when watching any movies. The coolest thing about this movie was watching actual color processing being done, I have never seen that before and it was really awesome! Beside all of the creepy things, I really enjoyed this movie as well!</div><div><br /></div><div>And last but not least I watched Pecker! All I can say is STRANGE! But don't get me wrong it was a great movie and I actually enjoyed it, but it was just really different than the other two movies I had already watched and every other movie in general! We didn't watch any documentary about how this movie was made before, but even after watching the first two movies and paying attention to what was going on in them, I payed more attention to the technical part of this movie as well when I watched it. There wasn't anything super special about the technical part of this movie, but this movie was based more on photography and actually taking pictures of people! The main character in the movie was actually a photographer and the story was about how people noticed his photos and he became famous, but with all the fame and fortune he ruined his family and friends lives! Now I wish that could happen to me... minus the family ruining part! How amazing would it be to actually have some famous person notice your photos and make you famous for them! I can tell you now it is probably something that never happens, but I guess we can always dream! I think my favorite thing about the movie was how real Pecker was! He took pictures of anything and I mean ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING... and he was never afraid to admit when he was wrong. He admitted he didn't always have proper shutter speeds and sharp pictures, but that didn't matter! All Pecker cared about at first was taking pictures because that was what he loved to do! I think the biggest thing I got from this movie is that I want to be more like Pecker! To be able to take pictures of everything and go beyond my boundaries and what other people think, to let myself go and just be like him! All I have to do is try!!!</div></span>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-70594099699895172932010-01-05T12:39:00.000-08:002010-01-05T13:38:28.070-08:00My Christmas Holidays!<div style="text-align: center;">The last thing that my christmas holidays were was a break! Those were definitely 3</div>extremely busy weeks filled with lots of family, friends, and .... HOMEWORK!!! But, I did my to fit in as many fun/relaxing/exciting activities as a could to enjoy my time away from school! Here are a few of the things i did;<div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8cNombNCCpj3wRgUiGW3pJ07wZcAj0jj9vItvfvw65HfT_jcNqnMrhCzyz-axGP62pkcFlafy-grKsGU6HHdXQVk4-Ow24bSRDcjeuJ3Trfc_sCijm_5toqaQ9BXuQfXI4v0vz0z7rDS5/s320/091216KR6128.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423360978690878754" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">So one of the first things I did was head out and get all my christmas shopping done, it wasn't easy but at least if was kinda fun! I went all over from the malls to the Forks, and this was just a cute frog I had seen a little girl staring at. Although I waited until she was gone because I didn't want to be the creeper at the toy store taking pictures of the children! haha</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiufdktyrhiLdFqqFrnOxMWqXJUVknvJoHnvum0o4v7Jq-eSzWrA5hfF1GIdp2Fr3ZnHi3mbxtNjopFbrFIb5-kcaSP2F6yMMh2jMBx73lRAdDW2F0yoM3eEycnahf8sOGF9lTmRzT2tILr/s320/091224KR6511.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423361900269750770" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><div></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my favorite things on earth are pickles!!!

I had never seen any of his work before, but after viewing this exhibit I became a big fan. Karsh was able to capture each of his subjects so realistically. He went beyond capturing their 'picture faces', the ones we all know so greatly, and captured the true Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Winston Churchill, Earnest Hemingway, Audrey Hepburn and many others. After looking at the entire exhibit, not only did I notice that Yousuf was really a master of the darkroom, but he was also a master of light. He knew exactly how to light his subjects properly to help show the true side of them, it wasn't necessarily the kind of light he used, but they way he used it on his subjects. Karsh overall used a wide range of lighting from front, back, side, and top, all in the best way possible to bring out his subjects true features. A lot of Karsh's photographs expose so much detail from the wrinkles on the face's to each individual hair, there was nothing to hide in his portraits.</div><div><br /></div><div>On the technical side of things, Karsh's prints were nearly perfect. All captured using a large format, usually 8x10 camera, each print was so clear and each told the story of its subject so well, yet were all so simple. This print of Jacques-Henri Lartigue stood out to me so much because I fell in love with the expression on his face. His eyes look so inviting and friendly with the smile on his face, and you can tell they have many stories behind them. After viewing the exhibit and choosing this photograph as my favorite, I decided to research who this Jacques guy was. I found out that he was also a photographer for many years and now knowing that and looking back at the photo that Karsh captured, I believe he captured him perfectly. </div><div><br /></div><div>I believe that when Karsh printed this photograph he used the following techniques; burning, dodging and contrast. He would have used a higher magenta filter to make the darks darker and the whites whiter. I am guessing that he could have dodged Jacques-Henri's face and shoulders to keep it lighter than the background. It is hard to tell in this copy, but it was more noticeable on the print at the WAG that he probably burned the corners to add a vignette to the entire image, which isn't really noticeable at the top because it is already super dark, but you can see it on the bottom corners on his sweater.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, this and every other image in the Yousuf Karsh Exhibit were amazing! It really gives you an appreciation for true darkroom printing, Yousuf Karsh truly was a darkroom master!</div>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-40797339894192515072009-11-22T17:39:00.000-08:002009-11-22T17:50:03.857-08:00Ci 12 Color Block<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; ">Colors play a big part in the way we view and perceive images. A color image verses a black and white image can give two totally different feels to the same image. Just like certain colors specifically can give different feels. I found that in the end half of my images looked 'happy' and half looked 'sad'/'lonely' in a way. The brighter colors like cyan, yellow, green, bright orange and blue are 'happy' colors because they brighten up the image and draw the eye. The dark green, blue and soft orange in the other images were dull colors which gave them more of a down feeling. All colors have feelings linked to them, the brighter the happier and the darker the more sad, scared or angry they are. We automatically link red to love and romance, yellow to happiness, etc. When shooting the fish cracker I thought it would have gave a happy feeling, but as I tried to capture it, it ended up looking more lonely than anything. So I crushed the cracker which gave it even more of that sad and lonely feeling to the entire image, and to me this proves even though we have these feelings we automatically link to the colors, it doesn't mean that that is the only way they can be perceived. Color is only on part of an image, yes it helps us determine how a photo makes us feel, but it also depends on all the other design elements in the photo. Although I would definitely say color is one of the most important elements in an image because it has the greatest effect on how we read the image! </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.ca/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.ca&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.ca%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkaitlyn.roth.pv%2Falbumid%2F5407099466318250129%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCNi5-cyalvrJOg%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Cyan: Bright, Happy, makes me want to eat it!</span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Orange: Sad, Lonely, I feel bad for this little fishy!</span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Blue: Strong, Bold, but for some reason frightened!?

After a long shoot week and tonnes of homework the week before, it was nice to be able to just go out and shoot without having a specific assignment in mind! I had gone to the zoo the monday before we went to complete an assignment for a different class, but I was still able to get some new and interesting photos. I tried to capture a little bit of everything and think I ended up with a good variety of images. Take a peak at the shots I took!<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.ca/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.ca&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.ca%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkaitlyn.roth.pv%2Falbumid%2F5397043545650670065%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCLra_f7Mg6qKpQE%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></span><br /></div>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-20266468557578593062009-10-22T10:41:00.000-07:002009-10-22T11:28:59.916-07:00AT 6.2 Photographic Hero<div><br /></div><br />For this assignment I choose Irving Penn, a famous photographer known for his unique portraits and fashion photography. He was born June 16th 1917 in New Jersey and just recently passed away on October 7th 2009 at his home in Manhattan. Penn graduated from Pennsylvania Museum School for Industrial Art in 1938, some of his drawings were published in Harper's Bazaar and he also painted. As time went on he became known for his post World War II feminine chic and glamour photography. In 1953 Irving Penn opened his own studio, after working for Vogue Magazine for many years.<div><br /></div><div>The thing I like best about the way he shot most of his photographs is the way he was able to use such simple white or gray backgrounds to create amazing photographs of people which were still interesting and could tell a story about the person. Penn also created another simple background by placing two backdrops together to form a deep corner, where he would place his subject. Even though he used such simple backgrounds, the images still told so much about the subject by the unique way he was able to capture them. The plain backgrounds in the image made the subjects pop because it made them the only focus in the image which really works well. He didn't need anything else in the image to help tell a story about the subjects because the way he portrayed his subjects were strong enough. Irving Penn was one of many photographers who tried this in photography, but he was one who was able to use it more effectively than others.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqmbRYEVCWPD2gzXTj2kGC7TUbBgzQJ4-TDNFoYHwBEt8KVQTY_DIWroOq4A85ILbzMwXv79l2f9M2Yqk_oy5lMjl0W5tIwp-5pTDjt7slFXq-PIeVev5n5OiY9OY2YbansSHz6Q5ff3WU/s1600-h/img-article---gefter-irving-penn-gallery-launch_14251289536.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 251px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqmbRYEVCWPD2gzXTj2kGC7TUbBgzQJ4-TDNFoYHwBEt8KVQTY_DIWroOq4A85ILbzMwXv79l2f9M2Yqk_oy5lMjl0W5tIwp-5pTDjt7slFXq-PIeVev5n5OiY9OY2YbansSHz6Q5ff3WU/s320/img-article---gefter-irving-penn-gallery-launch_14251289536.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395483626587783154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAnICdcQWsPrVr1-LYLc8pw2TrTU4_wC0IkEOMvTSuTwzj2aTIyhr0mWCaowMKPterNoIoDb88LZIbFW7oe1mWqap52V4PEoNXPwzuoEdBhtclAq7GoiptAFFMxIWzUA_zF0i6zqw4H0H/s1600-h/irving_penn_13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAnICdcQWsPrVr1-LYLc8pw2TrTU4_wC0IkEOMvTSuTwzj2aTIyhr0mWCaowMKPterNoIoDb88LZIbFW7oe1mWqap52V4PEoNXPwzuoEdBhtclAq7GoiptAFFMxIWzUA_zF0i6zqw4H0H/s320/irving_penn_13.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395483624369352834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN1pgmSK9m0Y_IsWZc4i5BX0MFIDzTJnmtxI7GLS7kPWt7MycdapoFLO5XUcZXdkmyxpvZ1ylGiEa0iUEwe-Wt6tSIGylPBL7Fdx-hINUhMA-qUIE0SjfWkU1tb8KnCCd0kzN0Vr7CvAGN/s1600-h/irving_penn_07.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN1pgmSK9m0Y_IsWZc4i5BX0MFIDzTJnmtxI7GLS7kPWt7MycdapoFLO5XUcZXdkmyxpvZ1ylGiEa0iUEwe-Wt6tSIGylPBL7Fdx-hINUhMA-qUIE0SjfWkU1tb8KnCCd0kzN0Vr7CvAGN/s320/irving_penn_07.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395483622629547042" /></a>It appears to me that a lot of his close up portrait work is printed in square format which could mean he cropped his mages, or they could have been shot in square format I guess depending on which camera he used. The equipment, materials, and methods Penn used varied in line with the assignment and his interpretation of it. He sometimes used Lecia or Nikon's with a selection of different lenses, or 4x5 or 8x10 Deardorff view cameras, Rolleiflex or Haselblad cameras. He taught himself to print his own images using a turn of the century process the uses platinum instead of the conventional silver, which produced velvety tones in the images and was also one of the most permanent printing processes. He also wasn't afraid and did a lot of experimenting in the darkroom, such as bleaching his nude prints to make flesh appear more harsh and unforgiving. Penn's black and white printing was done in his own studio, but any color printing was sent to an outside location.<div><br /></div><div>I am a big fan of the way he did close up portraits and the way he framed the subjects inside the frame. Although even when he did full body images the way and the place that he put them in the photograph also worked really well. His use of the simple backgrounds really makes his subjects pop and proves you can can tell great stories with out even including a background. Irving Penn's images tell stories about his subject just by the way he poses them and crops them in the photos and I absolutely love this! You shouldn't need to include anything else in a portrait than the subject to get your point across and he does an awesome job of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Along with fashion photography, Irving Penn's work includes a lot of interesting still life studies. His portraits include a wide variety of different people including Tribal Warriors of New Guinea, Moroccan and Peruvian woman, all the way to a series of Female Nudes, the Hells Angels and Hippies of San Francisco, just to name a few. Even though Penn is a master of studio flash, he shoots most of his work window lit or it natural lighting.</div><div><br /></div><div>Irving Penn is an amazing photographer! I admire his work because his styles are of wide variety and he is great at all of them. I would love to be like him one day making photography my career, opening my own studio and being such a success for most of my life. Irving Penn lived to the age of 92, living a long and great life.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-28133518603070229742009-10-07T10:47:00.001-07:002009-10-07T10:47:29.371-07:00Portraits of Ryan<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkaitlyn.roth.pv%2Falbumid%2F5389915037649393649%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCOj5uICjw9-K6AE%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-46693616360153757272009-10-04T18:50:00.000-07:002009-10-04T19:24:55.347-07:00Composition at Home<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So for this assignment we had to capture 6 different design elements. It wasn't finding the different kinds of design elements that I found tricky, it was getting a good image of each of the six. It was difficult because I ended up shooting this assignment on a rainy day, which meant slow shutter speeds and using my tripod. It was awkward setting up my tripod to shoot some of the objects that I choose because they were mostly small in size and all in different locations, like my kitchen floor or bathroom counter. I think I took a total of around 100 shots just to get 6 good ones, a lot of my other shots in the assignment were blurry or just out of focus. I did end up getting the 6 images I needed, but I was unimpressed by the amount of decent shots I got out of the 100 that I took. I need to start clearing my mind more when shooting these assignments because I still have too much on my mind when doing them and I think that is what is taking away from my work and outcomes sometimes! The rain was a big thing that had my mind out of focus on the assignment, but I realize now that I can't let stuff like that affect my work because you will never always get great shooting weather, you have to work with what you get. Here are my final six shots for this assignment:</span><br /><br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPHmoH1LJ6Rfbn1Wm7p1G5RSYeeyeVXuHuGhG5-VgRIpO6q8IwseFi15w5gYBiH0e3gZDE9YPnYiZdazMCfundirsojR01MbKusz_dkUbwSz7uXktWMtTLPkwUd8N8Ij8txjbOrLSJpmM/s320/IMG_9410.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388935181424845170" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEDgTJMFPUWJ1AHT0CKXJkrxq0nAo0hkwWnTeYxnu-bwJ8jRjt1-6BlT3Vbrf9ywoG_fLrvcTnnUPtzsqb_ZKwvr0OiHBtCZNw3cyfhzFbRRwRWehPN9cOQ_HWCftjcfQZ8aAtz4foTly9/s320/IMG_9397.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388935183682000690" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiecu4iLQAm-SrPRh-Ss_sFPlhuhQMSCkiu-wHI-20DpxoLAM361zB4j0c05KFe6kIQFJsg-InVfTkCz9Ih7vjgjIZurqDnwn5UveZv9me8Db32q0jTsLH5li8qOTYVtTicbET1Akvs5FNr/s320/IMG_9437.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388935192269646946" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLC_pAz-1Xhb2L9AFEkanNYPwwu91JmjYV3hp9Sl7516-cCDX57N5v8pAvKD0XTBbY4BWv8MwGbtFBSQigaddk5f0x2Bbze_tjpof5DKnWKYRbQ8VdMvYVgZG2r3fXcXkvrByEmfT6U2nT/s320/IMG_9420.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388935202476754786" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2kapFMetAzbNcd3Hl9bIOWwGqz5VfkBnLqGW-eFrwVFBe7HsVwIrLT1i2PWeMsfPMosZqdqDf_05ShG3Klx3LdnOzsSh6m8oSydwaGuHAbAVDm1eK2oiDa53o1pPk8S0NvFF_Cy2gSZDz/s320/IMG_9450.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388935210055020690" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkb3vt-jlvOEU0DuGJUzNU4e-WVxHaio2BzT553O_lgdwzY-BnvagSsCz5B_XOc7jcOKBxMXXPzR-mrTaFCQ5Qq5sUP7qqIbOuzQgK4vAShvqACizMS2xdKaCJH7uYiYADHZQZKsjFLFfG/s320/IMG_9484.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388935647358378722" /><div style="text-align: center;">Line</div><div style="text-align: center;">Form</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pattern</div><div style="text-align: center;">Texture</div><div style="text-align: center;">Symmetrical Balance</div><div style="text-align: center;">Depth</div>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-17648079906355221422009-09-27T21:17:00.000-07:002009-09-27T21:40:33.440-07:00Working the subject... 100 creative ways!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;">I was lucky enough that my three objects for this assignment fit quite well together. Sure a dinosaur talking on an old school telephone sitting on awesome chair isn't super typical, but it worked. I found that most of my shots focused on the dinosaur and the telephone the most. The chair was harder to get more close up, different and interesting angles of, that is why almost all of the pictures don't really involve the chair I guess! I tried to get 100 completely different shots all together, but it was tough. Some look a little similar, but I tried my best to make them all unique even though near the end that was extremely hard to do. It was fun doing this assignment because it was different than a lot of our other work so far this year. In stead of going out in The Exchange or just out and about finding things to shoot, we knew exactly what our pictures needed to be of and had it all right in front of us. It is also a lot different than photographing people when you shoot still life because with people you change there pose, their expression or their settings to make a new photo, but with still life you mostly change you and your camera's angle/position to find a new photo of the objects. This is something fun and important to learn because you are always trying to take that new, interesting and unique photo, and you never know what you may be asked to shoot next. This exercise has began to teach and make me think about doing this more often while taking photos and it also helped me clear my mind because I was able to completely focus on the assignment and nothing else while doing it! </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.ca/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.ca&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.ca%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkaitlyn.roth.pv%2Falbumid%2F5384011418098333361%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCMeS4JHMusHCPQ%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></span><br /></span></div>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-63043854343775121622009-09-22T13:40:00.000-07:002009-09-22T13:46:36.678-07:00DT 2.1 Lines<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.ca/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.ca&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.ca%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkaitlyn.roth.pv%2Falbumid%2F5384382272946446161%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCMWZ0bCC8aS55AE%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 17.0px; font: 9.0px Arial; color: #333333">I would say one of my biggest challenges of this assignment was thinking of a place where I could go to shoot many different kinds of lines. Then I realized that I didn't even need to leave my own house! Almost everything is made up of lines, or many objects can form lines. After a while it was difficult to find different ways to portray lines. The shots of the piano and the guitar are much more interesting shots because I looked deeper into the object to find the lines in them. Compare these shots to the ones of the boards on the side of my house, well they are only.... boards! There isn't much you can do to try and take a interesting and different photo of a board, there are only so many different options and angles. The deeper you look into an object the more interesting of a shot you can capture. Lines are quite typical because you can find them anywhere; lines on the street, boards on the side of the house, the back of a chair, but the deeper you look at an object the more you can find within!</p></span></div>Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349183324859596356.post-59595104977879559262009-09-16T11:41:00.000-07:002009-09-16T12:08:48.750-07:00Hi.

Right now these are my favourtie because they are what I have most experience with, but I am sure over time as I get into new genres I'll start to like them all. Oh, and I have a great love of macro shots!<br /><br />I hope to become an expert on all technical aspects of photography, seeing as I know absolutely NOTHING about it and have only been shooting in program/auto since the beginning because I have no idea about the rest. You need more than just a good eye to take a great picture, and I can't wait to have the whole package!<br /><br />My best photography related memory was being asked by a <span style="font-style: italic;">complete stranger</span> to shoot their wedding, after they had only seen my work in a piczo website that I had created to showcase my work to riends and family. I am still not even sure how they came across <a href="http://www.creationsbykaitlyn.piczo.com">my website</a>, but it was the most amazing feeling ever! This all happened probably about a year after I got into photography, and that was the moment I knew I wanted to shoot photos for the rest of my life!Kaitlynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07188038486939660919noreply@blogger.com2
