11/28/2016 0 Comments FINAL REFLECTION:When I first walked into this class I thought I knew how to work a camera, leave it on auto, click the button and there you go. But since this class I learned how to use other modes I would have never even dared to use before, I learned about shutter, aperture, ISO... Before this class I never even knew what those were and I didn't take advantage of the full potential of my camera. Some of my first pictures I took were of my cat, typical, I put my cat on a chair and took some pictures of him and that was it for my first photo. I was like a robot, following every single direction, getting my animal assignment over with. But now that I got everything down, everything just comes naturally to me. And since that happens I can explore new creative ideas like what I did for photo 7, I took pictures of my cousin in front of a projector and photo 6, where I got some cool shots of my sister and her friend outside in the leaves. I've grown so much as a photographer from walking in the room with no idea what composition is to leaving with an amazing idea on how to take beautifully composed and exposed pictures.
Another Thing I have learned more about was actually how to use a computer. I never use my desktop computer at home all I use is my Chromebook. And coming into this class I had no idea how to organize files, save anything. I had nO idea so I really learned a lot about the mac and have defiantly became more comfortable with it. I also learned how to use photoshop. I never thought I would have been able to do it considering my computer skills but I did it! and got all of my photoshop assignments done nicely. Overall, I have learned a lot more in this class than expected and am glad I chose to take this class because I have learned so many skills I know I will use later on.

11/18/2016 0 Comments Motion Assignment:For this assignment we practiced panning. What we had to do was set our shutter speed to 1/30 or 1/40 and focus in the spot we're going to take the picture and then hold the button-down halfway and pan with Mr. Bush and then shoot the picture right where we focused it. Some challenges I ran into was actually achieving the blur. I fixed that by zooming in more on the picture.
11/16/2016 0 Comments Photo #7: Portrait AssignmentFor this photo assignment I chose to do portrait because of how much fun I had taking pictures of my sister and her friend. I was at my cousins house and she had a projector in her basement and I came up with the best idea. My inspiration is Ariana Grande's problem music video. What I did was look up images on google images of different swirls and lines and had my cousin stand in front of the projector and I took pictures. I also shot in some other scenes for variety. She had a tapestry in her room so I had her pose in-front of that and I got some good pictures, I also shot outside using a lamp for light and plugging it in on the side of her house. I loved how all of these photos turned out. 11/16/2016 0 Comments Photoshop Assignment #9:For this assignment we had to take pictures of a subject in different places and add them together using layers and the lasso tool. I took a bunch of pictures of Mikhail at a table in the hallway. One of the problems I ran into was mikhail overlapping the other pictures of Mikhail. Overall I really liked this assignment because I got to learn more about layers and putting different images together.
11/14/2016 0 Comments Photo #6: Black and WhiteFor this assignment I did black and white. I took pictures of my sister Annie and her friend in the woods around my house. What I really liked about taking these pictures is how I got to capture the emotions of my sister and her friend when they were together like for example the picture of them laying in the leaves. I am very proud of this assignment and got a bunch of pictures (over 200) and I have a lot more good pictures than 10 it was so hard to choose the best ones. This was probably the most fun I've had so far taking pictures. 11/11/2016 0 Comments Photoshop Assignment #6:This assignment was an open assignment where we got to chose any tutorial we wanted to and use it to create something on photoshop. I used a tutorial on a disintegration effect. A problem I ran into was using a photo that was too small so it made the disintegration very pixilated. I also colored the side of the picture white instead of using the eraser tool. Overall I became more comfortable with photoshop after this assignment and liked having a chance to explore all the different things photoshop is capable of.
11/4/2016 0 Comments Panoramic AssignmentFor this assignment we had to create 5 panoramic photos. We had to take 3 photos and use a photoshop tool to put them together and make the perfect panoramic photo. I've taken soooo many photos and have tried binding them together so many times until I found some good ones that worked. Overall I think this project was fun to go out and take so pretty photos outside and in the school. Something that I would do different is to shoot in brighter areas and make sure the tripod doesn't move around in between photos. |
