Car Project

In this assignment my job was to take a picture taken by another student, and to edit it on Gimp. It was pretty easy once I got the hang of it. I had to basically get rid of some glare, tint the windows, fix the color, and hide the background. In the end my car turned out looking great, and I learned how to do better editing in the process.

Photo Assignment 1-Black and White

ISO: 400
Exsposure time: 1/15
Depth: 8

For this assignment I had to use all the compositions and settings I’ve learned to take great pictures. For this week my subject was focused on black and white. I took pictures of things around my house because I figured taking pictures in the snow might be to bright for black and white settings. I enjoyed taking these pictures.

"Phone"
"Iron"
"Lamp"
"Book"
"Dog"
"Toy"
"Candle"
"Chairs"
"Coke"
"Flowers.


I’ve learned that taking black and white pictures works well when you focus on a subject that has a wide variety of bright and dark colors. I’ve also improved my skills on adjusting the camera settings. Though my camera was not the best for taking these pictures I think they turned out pretty good.

Gimp Assignment 1

This was my first GIMP assignment of my entire life. I had to take a portrait of someone that i shot and make it into a pop art portrait. Pop art is basically taking the same image and using 4 different colors to make it pop. I used a picture i had taken of my sister, and i think it went pretty well. At first it was kind of hard but i got the hang of it towards the end and my picture turned out great.

Composition Assignment 1

For this assignment I had to take a picture to represent eleven different categories of photography. I took a picture to represent rule of thirds, pattern, texture, depth of field, lines, symmetry, color, balance, framing, space, and perspective. I had most trouble with the balance shot, I couldn't quite get it right.

Rule of Thirds="Clock"
Pattern="Lockers"
Texture="Footprints in the Snow"
Depth of Field="Leaf"
Lines="Flag Poles"
Symmetry="Tree"
Color="Trash Bin"
Balance="Chair and Shadow"
Framing="Arrow Sign"
Space="Exit Sign"
Perspective="Shoes"




During this time I have learned many new ways to take pictures. I know a little bit more about how I can be able to take great looking pictures just by applying these techniques.
