10/15/2018 0 Comments PhotoshopWe had to clean up the car. We had to get rid of glares and clear the background. We also had to get the color of the car a clearer red. We also cropped it in to bring the focus in to the car. We made the background black so it would enhance the subject which is the car. We sharpened the colors to give a crisp feel to the image. I think that the cropping, clone tool, selection tool, levels and layers will be helpful in the future. These could help us create a better image.

10/15/2018 0 Comments NatureFor this assignment I chose to take photos of nature. I went out and drove around and found a corn field and tried to take a few pictures and see what I got. I tried to get different angles because corn stalks aren't that interesting. There were also a few flowers right by the field that I took pictures of. ISO 280, f/5.6, 1/125 sec
With this photo I didn't really change the exposure but I did add some contrast. I also had to change up the shadows and the highlights because the lighting was weird in this particular photo. 10/8/2018 0 Comments black and whiteIn this assignment I had planned to do black and white photo when my family went to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. However when we went it was very cloudy that day. I got the best pictures I could and some of them turned out fairly well while others not so much. Some of the photos I did not like until I put them in black and white. With other photos I could tell right when I took them that they would look good in black and white. I would say a big issue in this shoot would be the weather, if I could have gotten nicer weather I think the photos would have turned out better than they did. ISO 200, f 6.3, 1/160sec
In this photo I turned it into black and white and then I turned the exposure down a little bit and changed the highlights and shadows a little. I had to turn up the whites in this picture and I left the blacks because I liked how the image came out. 10/4/2018 0 Comments Pop art assignmentIn this assignment we had to take a photo of a face and put it in photoshop. Then crop it down to a square shaped photo. After we cropped it down we turned it to a black and white photo. After that we then put four of the same black and white image into a square blank white base. Then we edited each photo to have a certain color, red, green, blue, and yellow. During this assignment I learned about where the tools are in photoshop. I learned how to be able to change the color of the image through photoshop. I also learned how to increase the sharpened look of an image or reduce it.
10/1/2018 0 Comments Animal AssignmentIn this assignment I went out and took photos of animals, specifically dogs. I took photos of my dog and the dog I watch throughout the week. During this shoot I found that taking the dogs outside and taking the photos there the result was much better than taking them inside. I also learned that taking the dog to a place with a clear background allows a better result. It focuses your attention to the dog and not what is happening in the background. f 5.6, ISO280, 1/125 sec. In this photo I added some contrast to the photo. I also touched up the highlight and shadows here and there just to help get the best effect with this photograph.
9/21/2018 0 Comments Photo Assignment 1 inspirationFor my first photo assignment I will be taking photos of animals. I plan on getting pictures of my dog out in nature and hopefully I will be able to get some other animals to take photos of while I am out with my dog. For example when I was at a park with her there was a little stream that went down along the tress and I saw a crane and I tried to get close enough to take a photo but it flew away before I could get close enough.
I really like the two dog pictures because it focuses on their faces and it makes you feel very close to them. I also like the last horse photo because it has the nice sunset in the background and you can see the silhouette of the horses. I feel like that would be fun to take photos of if I ever got the chance to. 9/20/2018 0 Comments Composition assignmentIn this assignment we went out and took pictures that are examples of different types of composition. Some of the types were space, rule of thirds, depth of field, perspective and so on. While we were out shooting photos it gave us an opportunity to look at things differently rather than looking at an object as just a simple object. During this assignment I learned how to look for different types of composition. When I went out to shoot photos the first time I was not really looking for any types specifically but in the end when I went through them I realized how many of them I actually had. Then when I went out for the second part of the assignment I found even more photos I could use for the first and the second assignment. We don't realized it at first, but we are naturally looking for these types of composition without even knowing it. Once you are aware of the types you cannot stop seeing it everywhere you go.
