I used an iPhone 4 to take these photographs. It runs on
iOS7. I took the pictures with my regular iPhone camera. I tweaked them in apps
that I downloaded for free. I used Photo
Editor by Aviary which was version 3.2.0. I also used Camera Awesome version 1.1.9. I used Microsoft Photosynth version 1.6.2 and
an app called Panorama version 1.3
There
were several techniques that I used in this critique. I used a lot of photo
layering. I liked taking pictures of things and telling a story with them. For
example, the red coffee mug. The mug sits on the table and with each ripple it
gets closer to the hand holding it. I did this with a few other photos. I also
used dark lighting in a lot of my photos but made sure there were bright colors
to contrast with it. I took a lot of close up shots to make the viewer look
longer to try to figure out what exactly it is they are looking at.
My
strategy included shooting a lot of things that I thought would make the viewer
look twice. I wanted something weird and
abnormal. The leg photo is shot to show something that the normal hum eye
wouldn’t see. It looks like the legs are going in odd directions. It also looks
like there are 4 legs and not 2. I
mentioned before I used bright colors contrasted against dark and dull colors
to draw the eyes to my main subjects in the photo. For example, the red coffee
mug and blue jeans with white and pink socks.
My
recipe starts out with finding something that is bright in color and a place
that is dull or dark for a background. Then I use my Panorama app to take one
photo. I move the subject to another position and I then move the camera
slightly over and take a few more photos. I repeat this three or four times.
This gives it the ripple effect that I wanted. It also can layer the photos and
overlap them. This is how I created my leg photo and coffee mug shot.
