Nice to Meet You.

All photos for this project were taken on the College Park campus, using College Park High School students.

This is Danielle Chapman, a senior at College Park. This was captured in Mr. Furtado's math class.

This is Nobuki Fujioka, a senior at College Park at well. This picture was captured in D Hall.

Jackie Dolan, senior at College Park is enjoying her last few days of high school.

Clare Alden, a senior at College Park, is captured here preparing to go to her DVAL swim meet.

Senior at College Park, Daniel Bodishbaugh, is relaxing in the dugout after a long day of baseball practice.

Color Efex Pro

This edit was done using Color Efex Pro. I first used a Film Efex: Modern filter, then a Sunlight filter, and then lastly, Image Borders. The texture in the photo and the colors were enhanced to create this final product.

Silver Efex Pro

This is done with the Silver Efex Pro using the vintage finlter and a vignette. I really like how this turns out like an actual vintage photo. This program is super easy to use and I am very satisfied with the outcome of this image.

Night-scapes

ISO 200 18mm f/18 30.0 sec

This photo is of the park along E Cabrillo Blvd along the beach. 

I took this photo at about 10:00 pm. I did minor editing in Lightroom which includes adjusting the exposure and contrast, and cropping.

ISO 200 18mm f/4.5 30.0 sec

This photo is of the boardwalk/pier at the end of State St in Santa Barbara. I also shot this around 10:00 pm. I did minor editing in Lightroom which includes adjusting the exposure and contrast after using a preset filter, and then cropping.

ISO 200 28 mm f/22 8.0 sec

I took this photo looking west from the overpass over Highway 24 in Lafayette. I took this photo at about 8:15 pm. I did minor editing in Lightroom to adjust exposure and contrast and used a preset filter, then cropped to a 5x7.

ISO 200 55 mm f/25 30.0 sec

This photo was taken from the Lafayette overpass over Highway 24 looking east toward Mt Diablo. I took this photo at about 8:25 pm. I did minor editing in Lightroom which includes adjusting the exposure and contrast levels, and then cropping to a 5x7.

Mt. Diablo Landscapes

I captured all of these images at Lime Ridge Open Space. I walked around for about 45 minutes and ended up with some really great captures. ALL images include only minor editing to enhance contrast and increase the detail, the goal of this project was to accurately represent the space without any editing that alters the natural image. I am fairly happy with these photos, yet, I am looking to re-shoot these photos at a future date. I went at about 5:15 pm, and in the future in order to obtain more dramatic lighting, I will choose a later time and most likely a different location such as Mt. Diablo. My favorite photo in this set is the fourth one, with the vulture flying over the path; I really like the sky, and also how the trail leads the eye to the bird. I also like the sixth and final picture and how the eye is forced to follow the con trail and also the hiking path to meet in the middle of the image. I am very happy with the dramatic greens and blues which appear in these images.

HDR Practice

This is a composite of three images, of the quad at CPHS. Using a Nikon D600, I shot the images, and created the overlay in HDR Efex Pro 2.

City Life

I captured these images in Berkeley, which similar to my "Sense of Place in Berkeley" project I used for my final. Yet, the goal of this class project was to capture images of City Life in the local Bay Area.

In this photo, I just used minor editing in Lightroom including converting to black and white and cropping to a 5x7. This homeless man was leaning against the wall and people watching in Berkeley.

I also only did minor editing in this photo of a man looking at Nike's in a store in Berkeley.

I did minor editing in this photo and also used the brush tool in Lightroom to burn and dodge certain areas in this picture of the Amoeba Music store in Berkeley.

This is my favorite shot from this city life project, I only used minor editing in Lightroom, and I am very happy with the outcome.

I used minor editing to crop and to covert to a black and white to show this picture. This is a fence in the foreground with a lady talking to a parking meter-monitor in the background.

These are two doors to a large house, which was a duplex, in North Oakland. I used minor editing in Lightroom to create this final shot.
