Colorization


So I recently got into the idea of colorization. Where you add isolated color to a black and white photograph. These were taken over several periods of time, but I edited the three of them in photoshop to only show a specific things color while the rest of the photo is black ad white. I thought that the outcome was pretty awesome. What do you think?

These were shots taken at a park near my fathers house. My girlfriend, two of my step siblings and I headed over there to attempt to fly a kite. We ended up playing around on the jungle gym where I found a perfect shot for this weeks assignment on DPS.

My Trip to Downtown Salt Lake.

These are photos that were taking on a little trip that my girlfriend, another friend and I all took to downtown Salt Lake. Again all of these photos were put into Photoshop CS3 for some minor post processing. Tell me what ya think.

Some of my work.

Both of these shots were taking on a random hike up Bell Canyon where there used to be this great little pond, but seeing as how it is just the beginning of Spring it was all dried up. You are more than welcome to comment on what you think of them.

Camera: Nikon D80
Exposer: 1/200

I try to take all of my photos in Manual mode so that I can get the best shot, both of these photos were uploaded into Photo Shop CS3 for some Level editing but mainly put on there to edit in my name. I hope you like.



Beginning of a Photo Blog


Hello there my name is Benjamin Bielefeld, currently I am a student at Utah State University in Logan Utah. Recently I purchased a Nikon D80 DSLR after years of thinking about going somewhat big into photography. Before I bought this amazing camera I was just taking photos with a little point and shoot Canon Powershot SD750, even before that one christmas long long ago I got an old Pentax ME-Super, which really got me into photography. But seeing as how film got to be somewhat costly to get developed and all I figured that I needed something else.
This blog is purely meant to help me along the way, whether it be constructive criticism are just some small pointers, anything helps. It is also a place to visualize my progress into this wonderful world of photography. With all of the photos I post I will also put in the EXIF data plus where and when I took the shot, and other tools that I used to take the shot with. I will be trying to post new photos on here at least once a week and I hope that you all enjoy!
