Davidson, Photo Replication 1.3.3.2
This image meets the project goals since it is a photo in which the lighting and composition of another photo was replicated to create this photo.
The process I used to get this photo was I first got out my camera and put it on my tri-pod. Then I took my camera and tri-pod, set them up next to my work bench, grabbed 2 lights, and set them up around my work bench in order to get the correct lighting. Then I took my tree trimmer, put it in my vise, got out my Dremel and its accessories, put the right bit in the Dremel, and placed the bits container behind the vise at an angle. Then I took my Dremel, turned it on, got the right hand position and angle, began sharpening the blade, and started taking pictures until I got this one. In the editing of this photo I added a gradient layer over the background layer, duplicated the background layer, changed that layer to soft light, and erased parts of the duplicated layer and gradient layer and used the paint brush tool to paint certain areas in the photo for a layer mask. In the editing of this photo I also bumped up the whites, temperature, tint, exposure, clarity, and vibrancy and turned down the brightness.
The strengths of this photo are in the composition, since the way things are arranged in the photo are almost exactly the way they are arranged in the original photo, and lighting, since the objects in this photo are all well light and the lighting in the photo matches the original photo’s lighting almost exactly. The weaknesses of this photo are in the cropping of this photo, since the edges around the things I cropped did not turn out that great, and the sharpening of this photo, since the Dremel itself seems kind of blurry and out of focus.
