Assignment 5: Nature

This week I chose to do "Nature". All I did was went outside and took pictures of all the bright, full flowers. It was pretty easy to take pictures of the flowers because it's easy to set them up to make a good photo.

Best Photo: 

ISO: 100

Aperture: f4.5

Shutter Speed: 1/100

 

I learned how to really focus on a key point in pictures. You need to take your time in taking pictures of nature so you get the right focus and right blur.

Gimp Assignment 6: Portrait Demo

In this assignment we took picture of people to make portrait photos. Then we took it to gimp and made a frame around the pictures. We took pictures using natural light and using lighting used in a studio.

I learned how to make frames around pictures and filling in selected areas with different colors. There was also layers being used in this assignment.

Assignment 4: Open-Love

This weeks assignment, i chose to do an "open assignment" and I did the theme of "love". I took pictures of things that I thought represented the word love.

I learned how to use different editing tools that I haven't used before.

Gimp Assignment 5: School Context

In this assignment, we had to take a picture somewhere around the school. Once we got our photo, we took other pictures from online and put them into our first picture. We used layers and different editing tools to make it look realistic.

I learned how to use layers and how to put other pictures into a main background.

Gimp Assignment 4: Motion Demo

In this Gimp assighment, we did a motion demo. We took pictures of Mr. O'Donnell on his motor cycle as he drove by. We changed the Aperture, ISO and Shutter speed. 

ISO: 80

Aperture: f8

Shutter Speed: 1/50

I then went into Gimp and changed the color levels on the picture.

Assignment 3: Black & White

In this assignment I took picture of still life and other things on the black and white setting.

Best Photo:

ISO: 400
Aperture: f4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/60 

  

I learned how to take pictures on the black and white setting. Then I edited them to make the picture really pop. I really like black and white pictures, even though it doesn't show the color detail, they still look really good.

Gimp Assignment 3: Panoramic

In this assignment we made a panoramic photo. We had to take three pictures and put them together. You had to overlap, scale, and alter the pictures to line them up so they would fit perfectly.

I learned a lot doing this assignment.  I didn't even know that you can make your own panoramic photos like that. Also working with layers and overlapping the pictures was new to me.
