Photo Assignment 7: Macro

For my last photo assignment I chose macro because the weather was really nice over the weekend and I figured I could get some cool pictures outside. I found a really cool plant that i ended up taking a few pictures of and they turned out really nice.

ISO:100
Shutter Speed: 1/4
Aperture: 2.8

Photo Assignment 6: Animals

For this photo assignment I took pictures of my dog, Rider. I chose to do animals this week because he just had surgery and I figured it would be much easier to take photos of him when he was more mellow. I also took the photos outside, because he loves the outdoors.

 ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 80
Aperture: 2.8

                                   

Puns

For this assignment, we had to use photoshop to edit photos and make them into new ones that represented a pun. We used photos from online for the most part and were able to create humorous photos that represented the puns we chose to portray.

In this assignment I learned more about photoshop and its many capabilities. As you can see, i merged different photos together using the various tools that photoshop has to offer. The main tool I used in this assignment was the magic brush tool. I was able to select certain parts of images and cut them out and bring them into new images.

Photo Assignment 4

Assignment Description: This week, I decided to take pictures of our pumpkins that we carved. It is almost halloween so I thought the pumpkins would be a cool photo to take for Event. I made the photograph more interesting by incorporating a cozy fire in the background.

ISO:200
Shutter Speed:1/4
Aperture:3.5
  
                                   

In this assignment I learned a little more about exposure and lighting because I was taking photos in a dark room with candlelight. I experimented with different settings on my camera but actually liked auto the best when taking these photos.

Portrait

For this assignment we were required to take photos in a photo studio and using natural light. For the ones in the photo studio, we had to adjust our shutter speed and aperture so that we could get a halo effect around the subjects head. For the natural light photos, we used a white card to reflect the light onto the side of the persons face that was away from the light. This helped reduce the shadow in the picture.

In this assignment I learned how to use some of the lighting equipment in a studio. I also learned how to reduce the shadows on the opposite side of a persons face when taking a light photo. I had a little bit of difficulty trying to find a window that would let in just enough light but in the end it worked out okay.

School Edits

During this assignment I learned a lot more about Photoshop. I now know how to take images and edit them to fit into other images. I also learned a little more about changing the brightness and contrast of photos. As you can see in the photo I used a few different tools in order to achieve the shadow of the devil's face. This assignment was fun to do and was very helpful in terms of using Photoshop.
