This week I shot shadows and light. During my experience it was easy to find shadows, but not every shadow I saw was too interesting. During this assignment I learned that you have to be very creative and think outside the box to get interesting and cooler pictures. ISO: 1600
Aperture: f/4.0 Sutter Speed: 1/400 sec For editing on his picture I brought down the exposure, highlights, shadows, and blacks to bring out the shadows and show the details of the pumpkin at the same time. For my fourth shooting assignment I chose to do black and white because so far I haven't turned any photos into black and white yet. While doing this assignment I looked for mostly textures that I thought would look good in black and white. Also, I learned that some pictures just look better in black and white than they would in color. ISO: 1600
Shutter speed: 1/2500sec Aperture: f / 8.0 For the editing of this picture I first had to turn the picture to black and white, since it was in color. Then, I brought up the highlights and blacks to make the tree stand out more and make the texture more visible. For this assignment we were told to take five panoramic photos. This was my first time learning to take panorama pictures on a camera like this. With this assignment I not only learned how to take a panorama picture, but I also learned how to merge all the photos I took together ,in photoshop, to create one.
For my third photo assignment I did macro. This was my first time experimenting with the macro setting on the camera. So, for this shoot I went outside looking for flowers to take pictures of and I found many different ones. During this shoot I learned how to shoot with the macro settings on my camera along with learning what macro does to an image. ISO: 1600
Shutter Speed: 1/400sec Aperture: f/4.0 For this picture I brought up the exposure a little and brought down the contrast, highlights, and shadows to bring out the flower more. In this project we explored more of photoshop and different tools. Some of the tools include the stamp tool, text tool, quick selection, and brush tool. We did this by editing a picture of a car to make the car stand out more. Before After
Originally I was going to shoot shadows, but I wasn't sure exactly. However, my dog had just come in from a walk and he was calmer than normal so I I thought it was the perfect opportunity. So, as my dog was laying on the coach I decided to take as many pictures as I could while he was in one place. In this shoot I learned that animals can be hard to shoot you just have to get a picture at the right time. Also, during this shoot I wanted to make sure it was just my dog and nothing in the background was distracting. ISO: 1600
Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter speed: 1/13sec In this picture I did not want to make huge changes to it, but I did want to bring out my dog a little more. So, I brought down the blacks a little bit and brought down the contrast. In this assignment we learned how to use photoshop by creating popart. We took a picture of ourselves then took them in to photoshop to make the into popart. We learned new things about how to apply photoshop through this assignment. In this assignment I learned how to use filters, guides, resize the canvas, how to move a layer, and use threshold dialogue. Overall, I learned a lot about photoshop and everything that it offers.
For my first photo assignment I shot landscape. I walked around to different places in my neighborhood to get different shots. At first it was harder to get a lot of pictures, but towards the end it got easier since I experimented with different angles. In this assignment I learned that you need to try out many different techniques to take the pictures so you don't get so many of the same photos. IOS: 200
Aperture: f4.0 Shutter Speed: 1/800 sec when editing this photo I didn't want to change it too much so I brought the temperature and exposure up a little bit and slightly brought down highlights, contrast, and whites. |
