Emulation project: George Inness

For my emulation project I will be emulating George Inness. I decided to emulate him because I am interested in shooting more landscapes and that is his main topic. I hope to emulate the overall feel of his paintings.

Here are my two final pieces for the word>image assignment:

 Stair                                                                           Stare

More independent work

Other than my iPhone work I also experimented with color film for third quarter. These photos were taken with color negative film and then scanned onto a computer. Only minor adjustments like brightness and contrast were made, as well as spotting. These were all taken at Smith Rock State Park

Independent Research: iPhone Photography

Recently I have been experimenting taking photos with my iPhone. Over the years the quality of phone cameras has greatly increased. Currently the iPhone has one of the best cameras and can produce some really great images. There are also a number of apps that can assist in creating these images like "Camera+" and "Snapseed". Here are some iPhone images that inspired me.
