Give a Crit Iteration 5

January 13, 2011 | Tags: , , , ,

In this iteration, I’ve added some toggle buttons that allow for viewing the title, description, category, and exif information for a given photograph. This information appears as an overlay on the image directly, and is always ‘at-hand’ during a critique.

5th Design Iteration

Explanations

I’m looking for feedback from photographers and designers. For background information on this design, please see http://www.johnwaynehill.com/blog/category/capstone/, the first post has some good information.

Brian Oppenlander

January 9, 2011 | Categories: Photography

Location: Bloomington, Indiana

Camera and Lens: Nikon D80, 70-300mm f/4.0-f/5.6 lens

Creative Process: Brian wanted some photographs on a white background. I set the lighting up and brought him over. I had him bring in some props for fun, and he had this great hat. Once he put on the hat we were both cracking up and I was able to create this photograph.

Post Production: Basic photo edits and a little cropping.

Lee Beckwith

January 9, 2011 | Categories: Photography

Location: Bloomington, Indiana

Camera and Lens: Nikon D80, 50mm f/1.8 lens

Creative Process: Scouting for locations, Lee and I found a park bench in the middle of campus. I had Lee site for about 2 minutes while I took photos from multiple angles.

Post Production: Basic photo edits, nothing more.

Location: Bloomington, Indiana

Camera and Lens: Nikon D80, 35mm f/1.8 lens

Creative Process: Inside the HCID Design Studio I had Lee grab a pen and some paper and start sketching. This allowed him to take his mind off of being photographed, and gave me a good opportunity to take some natural looking shots.

Post Production: Basic photo edits and a little cropping.
