Panoramic Gimp Assignment

In this assignment we had to take 3 separate photos of the same room and then stitch them together in one long photo. We had to use the different tools in gimp to change and modify the pictures so that they looked like they all matched.

From this assignment I learned how to use different tools in Gimp, such as, the perspective and eraser tool more effectively. I also learned that when taking panoramic pictures you should try to make sure they have as little lines as possible because that makes it a lot easier to make match up ans stitch together.

Photography Assignment 3 (Nature)

In this assignment I had to take a picture that says something about nature and the landscape we live in. Since we live in Michigan and it is snowy I tried to capture Michigan nature covered in snow.

Shutter Speed=1/1000
ISO= 80
Aperture= f/4






 In this assignment I learned that using an overcast lighting is a lot more effective than using lighting when the sun is at it's highest and brightest. I also learned that there are a lot of cool things to take pictures of, you just have to be ready and willing to find and capture them in a picture.

Portrait Assignment

In this assignment we had to use natural lighting and studio lighting and take portraits. The pictures are supposed to convey the personality of the people in them.

In this assignment I learned that it can be hard getting the right lighting and amount of light in a picture, especially a portrait. I also learned that it is hard to get people to do something besides just smile so it can be hard to show their personality through the picture.

Photography Assignment 2 (Animal)

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 I had to take photos of inanimate objects. I had to arrange the objects in a certain way and then take photos of them.

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.
