Category: Image Editing

After a few weeks exploring digital photo alteration, layering and filtering of natural images to make something new I felt that it was time to focus on unaltered shots of nature. To create the digital explorations I have had nature photos as the foundational images. However, I thought it would be useful to rethink composition and capture some stand alone photos of nature. I feel that a combination of both natural and digitally enhanced photos can be fun for students to explore. Having the compositional understanding and applying it to digital exploration is very useful. It is so important for students to have a sense of perspective and colour when developing images. Here are some photos from this week.

I have been enjoying exploring digital photo layering and altering of images on Pixlr. The program is great to explore on the bus, waiting in line for a coffee and those quick in between moments.  Layering multiple photos from nature with double exposure and exploring the various editing tools and filters is a lot of fun. Pixlr is a very intuitive program to explore and has even produced some artwork for some future music releases. I think this program would be very accessible and fun for students in various classroom setting especially to create their own designs and backdrops for projects. Here are this weeks explorations.
