Photography Assignment 7 (Black and White)

The goal of this assignment was to showcase images that lend themselves well to being portrayed in Black and White.

Original



Edited

ISO= 400
Aperture= 2.8
Shutter Speed= 1/13





From this assignment I learned that Black and White can be a cool effect. I also learned that you have to get the balance right between being to light and too dark. Also, it is easy to make the photo look grainy so you have to make sure that you don't have a lot of digital noise.

Gimp Dictionary Assignment

In this assignment we had to take a word and create a picture using Gimp that shows the meaning of the word through the picture. It had to be creative and easy to tell how the pictures tie in with the word.


During this assignment I refreshed my memory on a lot of the Gimp tools, such as, the free selct and scale tools. I learned that making a picture like this takes a lot of time and creativity.
