This was a fun assignment because I was able to catch the excitement and creative festivities. I enjoyed watching close friends and relatives enjoy the Luau and join with me as we sent Alex off into his bright future.

Visual Puns

In this assignment, we took photos from online and merged them together to make puns in a visual manner. The first one represents "time files" with the clocks in the sky with wings. The second one represents "baby corn" with a baby holding a stock of corn. The last one represents "gorilla glue"with the gorilla holding Elmer's glue.

Time flies

 Gorilla Glue


















This was a fun and non challenging assignment. It took skills we have already mastered and put them to test. It was amusing coming up with funny puns to create an image out of.

Photo 6- People

In this assignment, I took photos of my friends and their family at their lake house. I tried to get them in portrait style while they were having fun.

Shutter: 1/50
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 200




This was a fun shoot. The boys were very corporative and they have a lot of fun smiling for the camera. The day was very sunny and as a result, most photos turned out a little bright. Nonetheless, I was able to capture the fun and excitement of the day at the lake.

Photoshop Tutorial


For this assignment, we were to look on line to find photoshop tutorials on our own. I found one that was to make a sphere around the subject in the setting of mountains

This assignment was fun but quite difficult. I never actually got it the way it was suppose to look like. I must have missed a step or messed up a step that was un do-able. Nonetheless, I felt the picture still came out with it's own originality and turned out to look pretty cool.

Portrait

In this assignment, we took photos with a studio setting and a natural light setting. We took subjects and made them in the light of a good photograph.
















This was a difficult project at some points. To try and find good sunlight for the natural light ones was a bit challenging because shadows were hard to eliminate.  Other than that, it was fun to put together photos in a professional manor.

Motion

In this assignment we took photographs of Mr. O'Donnell while he drove by on his motor cycle. Our goal was to get motion behind the bike.















I liked this assignment but it was difficult getting the right amount of movement with the bike to get the blurriness of only the background. I had to edit a lot behind him because the inconvenience of the green house was unattractive in the photo.

Photograph 5- Animal


In this assignment I took photos of my new puppy Chase. I chose animals because my family just got Chase and he's an adorable puppy.

Original















Edited
















Appeture: 5
Shutter: 1/30
ISO: 1600







This was a very difficult assignment for me because Chase barely ever stood still for a good photograph and the camera I used had no settings to help me freeze him in action. Nonetheless, I got some playful photos of him in his finest.
