Coolio Self Portraits

This was our self portrait project, we were supposed to show our selves in different ways, and here are my pictures of doing just that.

This picture was taken by me holding my phone to the lens and then by using the phones camera I was able to get a picture of myself in the mirror on the screen of the phone.

This picture was requested by my teacher, he wanted two pictures laid on top of each other, it was tricky but I did it and it turned out pretty cool.

This was one of the pictures in the picture above, it's just me holding a couple of my favorite video games.

Finally, here is the contact sheet for the project where you can see all the photos from the roll, sadly some the favorites I had while shooting the roll didn't turn out.

Coolio Rule of 3rds and Halves

In this project, the object was to take photos following either the rule of thirds or halves, sadly this was one of my least favorite rolls of film, though I did get one good one out of it.

Here is the contact sheet for the project, if you look closely maybe you can find the best one!

This one was taken from an old roll of film, but somewhat supports the rule of thirds, I really like this view of the truck and the photo itself. 

This was my favorite picture from the roll, it is two lanes on the bottom of the pool, I got the light just right and the texture of the pool provided for an interesting look.

Finally and sadly, for this project, this is what many of the photos looked liked, I did my best when producing the photo and using photoshop to get it as good as it's going to get.

JC's Coolio Light Project

This is my light project, in this project we had to take photos in different lights. Here is my contact sheet, that shows all of the photos I took, farther down you will see two of the best photos from this roll.

Now here is my 1953 Jeep FC 150, it is shot in diffused light. It shows the Jeep in such an interesting way, that I believe enhances it.

Next, I have some little clay monsters that I got at an art show, I shot them in direct light as you can see the shadow created by the light.

Coolio Portraits

For this project we had to take photos of one person and capture their emotions.

I chose mi padre for this one and I basically said different emotions 

and snapped them with a click of the camera.

Here is the negative of him being serious. It is almost impossible to make 

out his features  when it's in this version.

Here is the positive, yes I know you can see only half his face, but do you really need to see the other half to know what he's feeling?

Here is the second photo of my father, he felt like acting weird and I let him. Here is the negative version, just the others, it's very hard to make out any detail.

And here is the positive, the detail is much better and is much more pleasing to look at.

Here is the contact sheet for the project it shows all the photos I took.

Coolio "One Thing"

Our goal was to capture "one thing" in as many different views as possible.

The object I chose was my dad's 1959 Jeep FC 150.

Here is the negative of my photo, the picture shows the hinge on the tailgate.

Here is the positive, which is much better, you can clearly see the detail in the image and if I hadn't told you what it was you'd have no idea.

Here is my contact sheet for this project it shows all the photos that didn't get selected to be on the blog including the ones that were.

Coolio Photograms

Here are my photograms, I used some New Zealand coins to create the coolio design that was produced.

 Here is the positive version, I prefer this one over the other because it has something more, especially since it's lighter.

Here is the negative, I may not like it as much, but it's still pretty coolio.

Coolio Pinhole Pictures

These are my Pinhole Pictures, there were taken with a paint can, with a small hole in the center. It provides for an interesting view, either in positive or negative.

Here is the positive version of a picture of a cool car I found in the parking lot.

               Here is the negative version of the same car. You can really see the difference between the two.

 We also had to do self portraits with the pinhole camera, here are mine, as you can see the positive one has a lot more detail.

And here is the negative, which provides less detail, but has an interesting perspective on me and the background.
