In this assignment I had to take pictures of an animal, in this case, my dog Tiko. We were supposed to showcase the personality of the animal in the picture.
ISO=1600
F Stop=8
Shutter=1/8
In this assignment I learned that taking pictures of animals is quite a difficult task. I learned that you have to set the shutter speed pretty high because they will move at any moment. I also learned that as long as the picture is focused animals usually look good in pictures.
In this assignment we had to use a picture of a car and edit it to look better like the demo. We had to use Gimp and the different tools in Gimp to edit it.
Before
After
In this assignment I learned how to use many different tools in Gimp, such as, the crop tool, the paintbrush tool, and many others. I also learned that by just using some simple editing tools you can really make a picture look a whole lot better.
In this assignment I had to take photos of inanimate objects. I had to arrange the objects in a certain way and then take photos of them.
ISO= 800
Aperture= 3.2
Shutter Speed= 1/25
In this assignment I learned that lighting makes a big difference on still life photos. I also learned that the way you set up object is really important to the overall pictures and that different angles can make whole new pictures.
In this assignment we had to use Gimp and create an image of the same picture in 4 different colors. We had to make a new image and copy the old one in there and make it 4 different colors.
During this assignment I learned how to get around Gimp and use different tools. I learned what layers and guides are and how to anchor a layer and also how to resize the canvas.
Assignment Description: In this assignment we used 11 different composition elements to apply to our photography.
Photo Descriptions:
Lines = Railing
Texture = Water
Rule of Thirds = Dog Playing Piano
Pattern = Shoes
Balance = Chubby Little Men
Depth of Field = Stairs
Space = Silly Band
Color = Lake
Perspective = Dog
Framing = Apples and Pine cone
Symmetry = Wardrobe
What I learned: I learned that there is more to taking pictures than just pointing and shooting. I also learned that having the subject in the middle of the photo isn't always the best place for it. I learned all the composition elements and how to apply them into a picture.
