Final Post

The trimester has come to and end, and now this class is almost over. This blog has been a place to keep all my photos that I have turned in, my slide shows, and a history of everything that I have learned through the class. It is sad to see the class come to an end. Im going to miss working in PhotoShop, fun photo fridays and going out to take new photos.

Slide show



What I learned from this assignment is that to capture motion, you have to have the correct aperture triangle. I had to work with my setting so that I could get the photo that I wanted to capture.

PhotoShop

Started out with

This was a PhotoShop tutorial assignment, we had to find a tutorial, and follow all the steps to have a created finished product. In this assignment I learned many new skills. I now better understand textures, layers, blending styles  how to create shadows, and much much more. I also better understand the amount of time it takes to edit a photo and to create a finished image.

Photo 6 - ANIMAL

This assignment was about taking photos of animals. I did this by taking photos of dogs and cats (friends and families). I had to try to take photos of animals in their "natural" moments. For some this was sleeping, others it was just laying around, some stretching.

Photo Triangle: ISO 200, f/4, shutter 1/400 sec




In this assignment I learned that its not always easy to get an animal to sit still to take photos of. Or in the case of my dads cat, not always easy to find. Animals aren't like people, you cant tell them what to do, or to move a little to the left. You have to position yourself instead of positioning the subject.

Visual Dictionary

This assignment I had to create three images 7X5 to illustrate a word from the dictionary. I had to combined at least 3-4 photos for each image. I also had to have the word and definition included in the image.

In this assignment I again learned how to better use PhotoShop and it's tools. I was able to play around with layers, and as I progressed onto each photos I gained new skills.

Puns

The assignment was the create visual puns by combining photos in PhotoShop. We had to create a total of 3, 5X5 photos, then combined them into one 15X5 photo.

I learned in this assignment how to use more tools in PhotoShop. How to blend photos and how to use the magic eraser. In addition, I had to be creative in deciding how to show these puns. Can you guess what they are?

Photo 5- People

This assignment I set out to take photos of people. For this I used the little kids in my neighborhood and my younger brother Alex.

Exposure Triangle: ISO 200, f3.7, exposure 1/25 sec




In this assignment I learned how to take photos of people. How to use lighting and positioning. Also when you take photos of people, you have to find a way to show there personality through the photo, to express the feeling of the photo.
