1952

These HDR images where created using photoshop by manipulating the exposure and saturation. I wanted to show these tractors in a hyper real setting, making them look important. Both tractors are John Deere and were manufactured in 1952; they have been restored and are used for antique shows and light work. The photographs are intended to show them as strong, new and important.  

Need a little class input....... help please

I kept working and decided that I like these 2 better but cannot pick just one.......HELP please!

Work in Progress

I plan to continue with this and make one of each of our 4 tractors. I really liked the idea of playing with hdr and making them look unreal..... im still not positive on what size I will end up printing them but it will be slightly bigger then 8x10 for sure. Im gonna come up with so other way to display these other then in a normal frame.

final project proposal

Im not quite positive if this is what my final project will end up being but its my plan so far. I want to create a series of hdr photos. I want to use photos of our family tractors in country settings. I have a real interest for hdr photos but have not really had any pratice. Also with the subjects being our tractors it makes this really personal for me. I haven't really given much thought to printing other then that they will be printed. I want them to be bigger than a normal 8x10 but thats as far as I've got. I don't plan to appropriate any material for this project.

assignment 4 Final

I spent way to much time trying to come up with something to do for this project so in my moving around photoshop this is what I came up with. I used patterns and layer masks to make the images that I did it took forever. I used the rock and nature patterns and tried to use the most colorful so you could notice a change. I wish I would of used some of my own images but I wasn't thinking.

assignment 3

 

I mapped an image of clutter. I grouped like brand objects by spray painting over the emblems with their brand colors. John Deere - Green, International Harvester- Red, Massey Ferguson- Orange..... the pink was all the liquids like oil, paint and what not. I did not appropriate anything and there was not really a mood that I was trying to convey. 

work in progress

I have not decided if I will change my markers yet and I plan to connect the dots of the same color to eachother. I got the idea when I walked into a very disorganized barn where they had this mix of tractor parts. So I decided to mapp the different brands (john deere, international harvester, massey ferguson). I also went a step further trying to add more points.
