Macro Assignment

For this weeks assignment, I chose the catagory of Macro. I was outside unsuccessfully taking pictures of a tree branch that had freshly fallen raindrops on it. I was looking around when I saw the ice patch on the ground. So I got closer and it looked really good with the rocks surrounding it. I shot at an ISO of 160 and shutter of 2.8. Enjoy!

Cafetiria

For this assignment we had to use pictures to change the context of our school using GIMP.

For this photo turn in, I chose the catagory of black and white. This is my friend Whit playing his guitar at Millpond Park. I had the idea of this and thought it would be a really creative idea. He was at first on the bridge but I moved him to the tree because it was an oddly shaped tree and it created and almost fantasy-like tree, which was a very nice addition to my picture. I wanted to use my friends and I took them to Millpond to get a cool background change. I changed the colors and it really made the tree texture pop and made my picture look really cool. I did not use a flash, and my shutter speed was 2.8 and my aperture was 160. It was taken outside, so I used outside settings. Hope you enjoy!!

Gimp Assignment 2

For the second Gimp assignment, we took a picture of a car at the car show and edited it to look like an edited version of it. We made the front windshield tinted and the background black. We took out all of the bad glares on the car and the distracting background "noise". It was fun learning about all of the cool things Gimp can do to your photo.

Nature Picture... First turn in!

For this weeks assignment, i chose the catagory of nature. Over winter break, my parents and I went to Florida to see my sister and her husband. They took us to a very cool nature reserve where I learned so much about all different types of animals. It was a cool expireance. For this picture specifically, I was standing on a bridge at one of the stops. When I turned around, I saw this view and I thought, "Wow, great depth of field.". I could decide for a picture for this catagory. Once I enhanced the colors, the picture really popped. For this picture, I used aperture of 6.5 and a shutter speed of 100, no flash. Hope you enjoy!

Gimp Assignment 1

In this assignment, we took a picture of someone (I used myself) and we had to but them in a "pop art effect" where we took the picture four times and made each a different.
