Lithprint/Lomograph



For this tutorial, I opened the image in PS duplicated the image layer and went to image>adjustments>hue/saturation.Colorize box and made the hue 40 and saturation 30. Then duplicated the top layer went to filter>noise>add noise>and uniform. Then ticked monochromatic box and made it 30%. Then reduced opacity to 30%. Then added the Gaussian blur filter and made radius 1.5. Next, I created a new layer, went to edit>fill and drew an oval. Then hit shift+cmd+I. Then last removed the hard edge with a soft brush. Then added soft light to the layer.

For the homograph, I created a layer copy, went to filter> blur> radial blur and entered 15. Made the method zoom and made quality best. Then used a layer mask and used a soft brush to remove blur from the center. Then with a new layer I used a black brush to create a vignette and lowered opacity to 50%. Then layer>new>adjustment layer>chanel mixer and adjusted red/green levels. Then last I duplicated background and went to filter>noise>add noise and entered 10 and set it to uniform and monochromatic. Then I applied the same noise with the radial blur.

Finished Under Exposure

For my final under exposure project I used my oil thingy and my go pro. I used these objects because I have had the oil thing since with grade and I thought it would be really cool to photograph. My go pro was a good option because I use it for a lot of things and it has some cool dimensions and creates good shadows. 

This picture was balanced on the light meter and was slightly washed out but not too bad.  shutter speed was 1/250 sec and the aperture was 3.2. the iso was 200 for these three pictures. 

For this picture the aperture was 3.2, shutter speed was 1/800 sec. this picture had very good tone range and this photo was -1 on the meter but was a lot better than the balanced. 

 This photo was -2 on the meter and the shutter speed was 1600 sec and aperture was 3.2 again. this photo was almost better than the second one but a little too dark.

 This picture had an iso of 100 and looked very good as far as lighting. 
 This photo as iso 400 and was washed out somewhat.
And finally this picture was iso 1000 and was very washed out and the subject was almost un recognizable, (not good).
