In this assignment, we had to take three or four pictures of a certain area panned out. We took those three photos and uploaded them into photo shop. Photo shop then took the pixels of each photo and lined them up to look like one large picture
In this assignment, I didn't struggle all that much. I don't feel like I got good spots around the school to make great panoramic pictures. I enjoyed the look of the panoramic photos, but I had some difficulties finding what would make a good panoramic picture.
In this assignment I chose to do Still Life. Still life is sort of like an advertising photograph. This type of assignment is to make the item seem appealing.
Aperture: 8
Shutter: 1/13
ISO: 400
In this assignment I took a white blanket and used it as my back ground and took arrangements of lights to try and create my own personal studio. It was difficult to try and get the exact correct lighting but it worked out pretty well and it was a lot of fun.
In this assignment we took an every day picture from our school and turned it into something unpredictable. Many people did some type of cartoon or well known movie. There wasn't much restriction you just had to be as creative as possible. I chose to take a picture of our normal stair case and turn it into the Cinderella scenario.
In composing this assignment I had a lot of fun creating an outrageous scene from an ordinary picture. It was a little difficult trying to get the hang of all the different layers that you had to mess with to get the picture exactly right. I could of done the railing a little bit better in my opinion if I had more time to work with.
In this assignment I chose black and white. I chose black and white because I wanted to see the difference it just simple colors can make in photographs.
Exposure: 22.4
Shutter: 1/1600
ISO: 160
In this assignment, I learned how taking away color can make a deeper statement in some pictures. I liked how the photographs were more accented with the black and white background. It wasn't difficult to find subjects because I thought a lot of everyday items looked much more expressive with the black and white setting.
In this assignment, we had to transform a picture in photoshop and duplicate and change the color in each photograph.
In this assignment, it took me a while to figure out how to do it. I had difficulties with some of the steps and it still didn't turn out the way it was suppose to. I didn't like how it was suppose to be a simple concept, but it was one of the most difficult projects I have done.
In this assignment I chose micro. I chose micro because I wanted to capture the little details on every day items that are not typically looked at in major detail.
This is my best photograph
Exposure: 2.8
Shutter: 1/200
ISO: 1600
In this assignment, I learned the importance of keeping the camera steady to get a clear and accurate portrayal of the subject. In some photos, you can see a little bit of blurriness which shows the some what of a struggle I had. I also learned how much the little details can make a photo look great or awful. For example, in this picture of a screw, it shows how just a simple item can make a great photo. In the contrast, in the drinking fountain photo, it shows the dirty scrum all over the head which creates a gross look. Little details, I found, made photographs beautiful or captures its hidden ugliness.
There is a lot of controversy about if editing photographs is the right thing to do or not. I believe editing photographs just means you're allowing the photographs to reach their best potential. There are many reasons to edit photos. Most the time, when a photo is edited it is much more appealing to the eye. People would not appreciate unedited photos, or they would just find them unattractive. For people to enjoy most photos, they need some type of editing whether it is cropping unwanted background or erasing un needed problems in the way of making a beautiful photograph. With out photo editing I believe people would lose interest and enjoyment in photography.
