Series Draft I

In this new series, I am continuing to emulate Eugene Atget's style. However, this time, I am shooting antiquated buildings, streets, and signs, and nature in color. I will be challenging myself to recreate the same nostalgic, dreamy, and "remnants of humanity" feeling. With our high-tech cameras, it is difficult to shoot blurry and dreamy pictures, so I have used the Soften effect on Picmonkey. My images feature leading lines, repetition, and depth staging to create depth. In addition, the whole scene is shown and not cropped to give the full story in my pictures.

Filters

In this assignment, we tested out the different filters and effects on Picmonkey and Photoshop. The goal is to allow us to explore the different ways we can alter our pictures and hopefully choose an effect or combination of filters that we like and use in a series.
