For this assignment we had to take still life pictures. I chose to stand a coin up on it's side and take a picture of it, highlighting it's shadow. Original BestPhotoshopped bestShutter speed: 1/8 Aperture: f3.3 ISO: 200 Top fiveThis assignment was cool. I played around with different coins, and I used different angles, and in the end, I think it turned out well.

For this assignment, we set up tripods in an open space and took multiple pictures of ourselves in different positions, spread out through the area. We then used photoshop to create layer masks, so that there were multiple versions of ourselves in one picture. These are my pictures: I thought this assignment was fun. It allowed creativity, which created cool images. I also learned how to use the layer mask, which is something
For this assignment, we had to take pictures of food. I attempted to take pictures of my homemade chicken tenders and sweet potatoes. It didn't end up as nicely as I wanted it to, but it wasn't the worst. Best Photo (Original)Best Photo (With Photoshop)I had to brighten the image up, and sharpen the tender that's in focus. Aperture: f4.6 Shutter: 1/8 ISO: 200 Top 5What I learnedI learned that even if the lighting seems to be okay, I always need to double check. I also learned that it's not easy to make greasy food look tasty.
For this assignment, we had to take a picture of the school, and edit it in photoshop so that it had things added into it. Original PhotoEdited PhotoI learned from this assignment how to add in backgrounds. I also learned how to add images into a picture, and how to create a shadow for what I add in. This was a fun assignment, and I'm looking forward to doing more.
For this assignment, we had to get up close to take the picture. I saw a butterfly just chilling out on a flower, and figured I could get some cool pictures of it. Best PictureShutter Speed: 1/200 Aperture: f4.2 ISO: 100 Top 5I learned that good pictures can come out of nowhere, and if I realize the moment, I can get some awesome photos.
For this assignment we had to take panoramic pictures. We used tripods to take multiple steady pictures, and then put them in photoshop to create one panoramic picture. PicturesIn this assignment I learned two things: how to use a tripod, and the correct way to shoot panoramic pictures. I feel like these were a good start for me, but I can improve in the future.
In this assignment, I went out with the intent of getting macro pictures. They didn't turn out for me, but I got some cool nature ones instead. I tried to use the rain from the weekend to my advantage, and it worked in some of my photos. Best PhotoShutter Speed: 1/640 Aperture: f8.0 ISO: 100 Top 5What I learnedThe big thing I learned was that if I plan to take pictures outdoors, I need to look at the weather first, and then plan accordingly. I ended up getting some good pictures, but a lot of them turned out dark, and I had to brighten them up. I think the raindrops that I got on a few added for a cool effect.
For this assignment we were given a picture of a car and a picture of that same car, but retouched. We had to go through and retouch the original picture of the car so that it looked like the second image we were given. After that, we could retouch any image we wanted. Car (Before)Car (After)Picture #2 (Before)Picture #2 (After)From this assignment I became a lot more comfortable with photoshop. I learned how to use the clone stamp tool, which can be very effective in removing unwanted things in your image (for the car, it was the glare on the hood. For the second picture, it was the car in the background). I also learned more about how to use the quick selection tool. However, I feel there is still much to learn with that tool.
For my second week, I will be shooting macro photography. I want to get up close to a flower, and show the beauty of it. I'm hoping I can get a bumble bee in the flower, because that would look really cool. All of these pictures capture what I want to capture.
For this assignment, I had to take pictures of a person (Portrait photography). I chose to take pictures of one of my friends, Spencer. Best Photo
Other PhotosI had Spencer come to my house, where I set up a few different scenes in my backyard. I was prepared to take pictures inside if necessary, but didn't have to, since the lighting was nice. I feel my pictures turned out well, but I am frustrated about a few things. I feel Spencer isn't as sharp in my image as I want him, and that's my fault. I had the aperture set to f2.8, when it should have been set higher. I am also frustrated that in some of the images, there are cars in the background (namely the third and fourth image). These pictures turned out extremely well, but the cars completely ruin the background.
