Assignment #20: It's so Surreal Ideas/#'s 1-2

Part 1
1. What is the difference between real and surreal?
The difference between real and surreal is the way you interpret both ideas. Real is when something exists in real life and everyone can see it. When something is surreal, everyone can have a different interpretation of the photograph, painting, sculpture, etc. but it is so "epic" that they could not imagine doing that piece of art themselves. 
2. What does it mean when, in conversation, someone says, "That's so SURREAL!"? 
That's so surreal means realistic, but more out of this world and usually can be fantasized or seen in Disney movies where the animations or special effects make pieces come to life. 

 Part 2

Explanation: This photograph intrigued me because I actually have been interested in doing an eye photograph before and I think this could be an inspiration for my photograph. I was thinking I could do that same type of concept with the trees and switch it out with the city of SF? I am not sure, but this eye picture spoke out to me about where the person could have come from which is city but not much chaos and lots of nature. So if I am inspired to use this photograph to construct my photograph, I would take a picture of my eye and put the city of SF in the top part and where I live which is not to crazy of a city also in the bottom part like the trees in the original photo?

Explanation: This photograph also caught my eye because it is his vision of the world being upside down. I already had visions coming into my head when I saw this photograph and I could consider this one my inspiration such as going to my local park, photographing on a stormy day, or both! I just have to see what the weather is like and what I can do in the period of time I have.

Assignment #20: It's so Surreal! (The Final Photo)

Image
Reflection: The concept behind this picture is that there is always the good in people yet everyone has a dark past so that is shown through the yin yang and the darkness of the eye. I achieved this by taking a picture of my sister's eye in the golden hour and cropped it. Then, I used the brush tool in Photoshop and colored the white of the eye (other than the iris) in black to show that everyone has nobody is perfect and everyone has something going on in their lives. The yin yang in the pupil was so difficult to do that I had my uncle who is an engineer at Cisco to help me for over an hour to get it the way it is now. This was a very difficult assignment and wish I knew some tools ahead of time so I wouldn't need so much help. This photo was inspired by the eye photo in my original ideas, but this shows what every human being is like: good or bad, sad or happy, etc.

Assignment #4: Composition

Image
Composition: Contrast ISO: 500 F-Stop: f/8 Shutter Speed: 1/200 This picture was captivating for me because of the green background with the prominent white flowers. The white flowers bring out the brightness and lighting in the picture with the texture of the green leaves. Also the bundle of the four flowers going in different directions gives the audience a new perspective and makes the audience satisfied. Composition: Leading Lines ISO: 160 F-Stop: f/11 Shutter Speed: 1/100 This is another one of the my favorites because the overall picture is mostly surrounded by darkness but the little bit of light shines through. The leading lines come from the sun because that "flash" attracts the audience's eye to the little bit of the sunset in the background instead of someone taking a picture of a huge sunset. Also, the colors of the houses have a "reflection" and draws the audience's eyes to the variety of colors shown.
