Assignment #2: What is HDR? Research portion:


The article that I used for the write up was: 
  • What does HDR mean? How can you achieve HDR successfully?
    • HDR stands for high dynamic range. HDR takes the darkest dark aspects of a setting, by snapping a picture underexposed, along with the lightest light of the setting by taking the picture over exposed, and stitching the images together using photoshop. This techniques allows the final image to incorporate all dramatic aspects of the setting in the final image. 
    • You can achieve HDR successfully by ensuring that your camera is still and in the same spot for all images. Also, the key is to have the blending software that allows for the images to be put together- taking the best parts of all for the final image.

  • This image, above, impresses me becuase the HDR has captured the blue hues, and gradient sky instead of blurring the shades together and dulling the image. This way the image is more prominent in its colors and shading.

He later laid out all of the photos to paint the correct scene. Yet, once he finished the painting he stumbled on the new technique he would begin using, collage. This "accident" was one that allowed Hockney to rise to fame.

Assignment #13: Surreal:

What is the difference between surreal and real? To me, I think that being real is something that is right in front of you, and raw. Whereas when I think of surreal it is unusual and not really possible, except in an imagination setting. What does it mean when someone says: "That's so SURREAL!"? When I hear someone say, "That's so SURREAL!" or just surreal, I think of something sort of weird and out of the ordinary, specifically Salvador Dali's painting of melting clocks, to me surreal automatically makes the subject seem out of sorts and part of the imagination. René Magritte For inspiration on surrealism, I chose Magritte because his ideas are things that seem ordinary but are in fact extraordinary. At first glance of Magritte's work subjects seem quite normal but then after a minute or so viewers begin to realize that the subject is strange and impossible. Or, in the surreal paintings the ideas make viewers question moti
