Project #7 - Multiple Image Techniques

   

Project Seven

     This project showcases three different techniques that I have learned in class, sourced for outside of school, and edited back in class.
     The first technique is multiple exposure. Multiple exposure is the layering of dissimilar images in hopes of making one image that is lit evenly across the entire digital canvas. Generally they are done using photos that are different but still similar in lighting and theme so that they can show different angles, but still hold a sense of commonality. In my case, I used images that were very similar and merged them in a way that didn't allow for anything that wasn't overlapped, much like and HDR.
     The second technique is a panorama. A panorama is a picture designed to extend further than common aspect ratios- horizontally or vertically. In my case, both panoramas that will be shown have been created by me, after the original photos have been taken.
     The final technique is high dynamic range or HDR. These are photos that are layered evenly for the purpose of creating an illusion of more even lighting.


Multiple Exposure:
      This first photo looks as if the leaves are blending into the cement behind them creating a an interesting distortion of color. The second photo is series of three blended photos that almost look like an HDR. I adjusted the gamma and the exposure of each until the originally dark steps melded into a bright and uniform picture.

Panorama:
     Both of these panoramas started as a set of photos with a normal aspect ratio and were edited accordingly.

HDR:
     Both of these photos were taken as a short burst, and then edited to create the illusion of superior lighting.
