Samples from “Color Photography”
Submitted by Lezley Cochran:
“Jessica Mansilla turned in this assignment. The goal of the project was to replicate the artistic style of a painting using modern technology including Photoshop, a Nikon digital camera, and studio lighting. She successfully demonstrated a firm grasp of contrast and proper lighting, as well as good composition. Jessica utilized Paul Cezanne as her inspiration.”

A few shots from a recent trip to the trails.
Up near the top of Black Snake road, right on the top of the mountain, there’s a nice long trail called(I believe) Sunset Trail. Over spring break, I managed to get up there and did some trail walking with my camera. I found a nice spot that gave pretty much the perfect vantage point to look at part of the campus.
Here’s the Nursing Building from on top of the mountain.
The tower from on top of the mountain.
And a couple of obligatory sunset shots…
Regina Spektor – “Samson”
Students in the Visual and Media Arts department were shown this video as an example of the kinds of visual and compositing effects that are possible – the kind of stuff that we can do right here on campus, in fact. Lovely stop-motion paper birds and music sheets mixed with actual footage of Ms. Spektor’s lovely singing and piano playing result in a fascinating video to behold.
TV on the Radio – “Me I”
Students in the Visual and Media Arts department were shown this video as an example of the kinds of visual and compositing effects that are possible – the kind of stuff that we can do right here on campus, in fact. Very clever use of effects, and a catchy song to boot.
Ruins in the Sleepy Valley
These photos were taken within walking distance of where I live. It is my assumption that this destruction is the result of floods during the last century.
Makes me wonder what the building was for, back when it was still intact…
Photo Submission
In the heat of the last day of the contest we failed to post two of the entries we judged. Although they didn’t win any tickets, we still think they are winners and apologize for not posting them in a more timely manner. . .
