Best Photo

I did very little editing to this photo.

Exposure Triangle
ISO: 800
Aperture: f/6.3
Shutter Speed: 1/400





Summary: I took some time to take varying still life photos. I set up a background and fixed the camera settings to achieve the correct lighting. For some pictures I had to use extra lighting to get the right effect.

No Pun Intended

Assignment Description:  We were to find puns that we could represent by a picture that we made. The goal was to be inventive and creative.

Watch Dog

Smarty Pants

Party Animal

Best Photo

Without Editing

Exposure Triangle:
ISO: 200
Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter speed: 1/160





Summary:  I used new effects in Gimp to make the photo pop at first glance. I darkened some areas of the photo and I posterized other areas to give it a fake look.

Dictionary Assignment

Assignment Description: In this assignment we used Gimp to mash several pictures into one poster to describe a word from the dictionary.

Black + White

Photo Assignment: For the black and white assignment we could take pictures in black and white or edit them to be black and white. I tried to show texture and contrast in the photos as well.

Portrait Demo

Assignment Description: In this portrait demonstration project we learned about different types of portraits and how to take them. We learned how the studio lighting is set up and we also found out how to make an amateur studio using natural light. If you use a reflection card you can fill some shadows that give the photo a professional look. We also used Gimp to create the final project we turned in which I learned new techniques doing that.

Motion

Assignment Description: For this motion assignment we went outside to capture try and caption the movement of a motorcycle.

Summary: This project allowed us to use new techniques that we had not used before to capture motion. We had to move the camera with the object in motion so only the background would blur and give it the "motion" look.
