HDR IN PHOTOSHOP



What is HDR?
In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.[
Cubism
Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European paintingand sculpture, and inspired related movements in musicliterature and architecture. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1907 and 1911 in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity.

In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.






Project 4 - Digital Collage: Pieced Reality.

In this project use the concept of cubism and  a digital collage to depict a system of reality either real or fiction.  Each image should be digitally treated to help create the most effective impact.

Systems:
Nature-ecology
Highway

Night environmental portrait with studio lighting (HDR) - data collection in class






Project Two - Creation of PLACE
Use the technique of Interacting focal points with depth perspective to create a photo series (5-10images) depicting a sense of 'place'. What is place? Land, identity, culture, ecology, history? All of these? Look at Art21.

You must include at least one portrait in the series.
