AFTER

Assignment Summary:  I learned a lot of new editing tools in Gimp during this project.  A few examples are selecting only certain objects to edit and switching up the levels of the photo. It was very interesting learning these new techniques so we can perfect our photos in the future.

Animal Assignment

Description: During this assignment I took photos of several different animals throughout my neighborhood. I tried to capture the nature of the animal in each photo.


ISO: 200
Aperture: f9
Exposure: 1/320







Summary: I chose to take photographs of animals this week to learn how to capture animals in motion and in nature. I worked with my camera at home so I learned to change the settings of the camera. I also had my first experience editing photos in Gimp and Photoshop which can make the photo look very nice.
