Car Assignment

This is Noelle Jacobs photo:


In this assignment we took Noelle Jacobs photo and used it as a demo to re-create the same photo only from the original copy on photoshop.


I learned how to use photoshop better to make a photo look different from what it looked like in the beginning. I specifically learned how to use crop, stamp, and paint.

Photography Inspiration 2

For my second photo I am going to do nature. The following pictures inspire me because I think they capture nature in a beautiful way.

Photography Inspiration

For this assignment we had to choose a photo that inspired us, pick a couple, and explain why.

Macro Eye

This photo inspired me because its a very good example of macro. It isn't easy to get a perfect eye shot, and I hope I can do it myself.

Nature bird

I chose this photo because I think it is a good example for nature. I think that being able to take photos like this one is amazing!

Photo Assignment 1: Animal

For this assignment I chose the photos that best demonstrated the activity or nature of my puppy. I learned that to take pictures of animals you need to use specific camera settings to capture the animal's activities perfectly.

ISO = 100
Shutter Speed = 1/60 sec
Aperture = f/3.1

PopArt

Assignment Description: I followed the tutorial step by step and then used photoshop to make the pictures different colors.



I learned how to use photoshop, I have never used photoshop before so I found it very interesting that you can take a simple picture and with a little bit of editing you can turn it into something completely different.

Motion Demo

I learned that when you are trying to take a photo in motion that it is very difficult to do if it is too bright outside. Also I learned that the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are very important when taking a picture of something in motion.

Slideshow:



What I have learned from this assignment is how to find certain elements of film in my photos. I have also learned how to use photo booth, I had an account a long time ago and never used it, its nice to know what I'm doing now. I also have never used a blog before so I learned how to create and keep up with a blog.
