For this assignment I had to use lights around my school and house to create some shadows. It was a pretty easy assignment, I just had to move things around to create cool affects. I learned more about setting up pictures.

Macro, Photo #7


Aperture: 3.6
Exposure time: 1/60
ISO: 80 
Shutter Speed: 5.9
This week I shot my photos for macro. I didn't really have much trouble shooting for this because there were a lot of things around the house that would be perfect for these shots. I learned how to set up the camera for the perfect macro shots.

School Context Assignment

For this assignment I had to take a picture of something in my school and add things to it that would be kind of odd to the picture. So I took a picture of the school commons and added a bunch a cartoons to it that you wouldn't normally see there. I don't think I did very well, it was kind of hard being as I was sick and had to rush through it on the last day, but I got through it and learned more about how to use gimp.

Dictionary Assignment

For this assignment I had to choose a word and show its definition by combining pictures that resemble its meaning. I chose aggressive as my word because I thought it would be a pretty easy thing to portray. I searched pictures of scary animals who give an essence of aggression. It was a pretty easy assignment after using gimp so many times before. I also kind of liked it because I got to decide what I wanted to do.

Photo 6: Nature and Landscape

This week I took pictures that focused on nature and landscape. I live in a rural area so I went around and just took pictures of the plants and trees. I was going to choose a picture I had taken over christmas break. But I decided to use one I took of some flowers outside my house because I really liked that one.





I've not really learned anything new this week. But I had a pretty good time going around taking these pictures. I guess you could say that I've learned my old phone could take pretty good pictures.

Motion Demo

Today we had to take motion pictures of Mr. Bush riding his bike. At first this was pretty hard but after some practice I got some pretty nice pictures. I learned a new way of taking cool pictures and I think I'm going to use it as one of my photo assignments.

Panoramic Assignment

For this assignment I had to take three pictures of different angles in the same area and merge them together      to create a kind of fish eye view. I took three simple pictures and put them together to make it look as you're looking down two hallways. I didn't really like this assignment because it was pretty hard. I had trouble fitting them perfectly together and matching the colors.
