Magazine Cover Inspiration

I will be designing my magazine based on this Gourmet Magazine cover.

Creative Controls - Depth of Field

     This is a photograph of a ceramic figurine of a dog. I captured this photo in a small shop in downtown Portland, Oregon. To take this photo, I set my camera to the macro setting and made it focus on the closest figurine. The macro setting causes the other figurines and other object to become blurred. This shallow depth of field makes the photo more dynamic and focused on the dog figurine.

     This is a photograph of a pipe valve. I captured this photo at a reservoir in Portland, Oregon. To take this photo, I set my camera to the macro setting and made it focus on the valve. The macro setting causes the rest of the pipe and ground to become blurred. This shallow depth of field makes the photo more dynamic and focused on the valve.

     This is a photograph of a purple flower. I captured this photo in Washington Park in Portland, Oregon. To take this photo, I set my camera to the macro setting and made it focus on the flowers. The macro setting causes one are of the flowers to stay in focus and the other sections of flowers to become blurred. This shallow depth of field makes the photo more dynamic and focused on specific flowers.

Creative Controls - Using Motion

 

Effective Camera Shake - This is a photograph of a rosebush. To capture this marvelous photo I slowed the shutter speed and purposely shook the camera.

Freeze Action - This is a photograph of pigeons flying away. To capture this wonderful photo I used the "Sports Scene" on my camera to quicken the shutter speed.

Panning - This is a photograph of a biker. I captured this great photo by following the biker with my camera as I took the photo.

Slow Motion - This is a photograph of William Schweinfurth running. I captured this incredible photo by using the "Handheld Night Scene" on my camera to take three individual photos and blend them together.

Multiple Image Techniques

   This photograph demonstrates the multiple exposure technique. It captures two young men, one who is taking his own photo, the other pondering life. I took this photograph in Washington Park in Portland, Oregon.

   This photograph demonstrates the panorama technique. This panorama was taken in Washington Park in Portland Oregon.

   This photograph also demonstrates the panorama technique. This panorama was taken in Washington Park in Portland Oregon.

   This photograph demonstrates the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique. I took this HDR photograph in Washington Park in Portland, Oregon.

Photographer I Admire: Slinkachu

       I admire this photographer, Slinkachu, because he creates his own scenes using very small model train set characters. I also enjoy how in some of his photos he has the miniature characters interacting with real, life sized objects. It is a very clever way to set up an interesting scene.
