Dictionary Assignment!



This week, we chose a word in the dictionary and made a photo presentation of it. Being an avid hockey fan, I chose the word Ice Hockey. I composited pictures of Steve Yzerman, another player and a hockey rink. We had to use our GIMP skills to composite several pictures to make a photo definition. I liked doing this assignment, it was a lot of fun but choosing a word was hard :). I didn't include the part of speech or how to say the word, so going back and making it so that you could see it and adding a whole new text box because mine would open my original text box.. was super stressful but it all worked out in the end. Hope you enjoy!!

Photo Turn in #6


For this week, I chose to take pictures of my horse Coyote. I was at the barn and was planning on getting pictures of my friend jumping her horse but in the indoor arena, the lighting was terrible. So after I had ridden my horse, I put him back in the paddock and all he wanted to do was play. It was tough to get a shot were he was actually looking at me and not staring into space. This is what I got where he was actually looking :).
ISO: 125
Shutter: 4.5
(No flash)
Enjoy!

Panoramic Pics!


For this assignment, we took 3 pictures and made them one with GIMP. We had to move one on top of the other to make the objects they have in common line up or overlap each other. It was fun to make all the lines be even and making the colors right on each picture was somewhat stressful. Enjoy.

Photo Turn In


For this week, my friend turned 15! I went to her birthday party and I thought that the way she cut into the cake (it was heart shaped. Her birthday is on Valentines Day :)) was really cool. She had a confetti cake and it was very colorful. Her birthday is an Event so thats the category I chose. We went rollerskating as well and I got some good pictures but there was so much motion it made them blurry. When we went back to her house we had cake and this is where i got the picture. I really like the colors and how much they popped. ISO 200-- Shutter 2.8. Enjoy!!

Portrait Assignments


For this assignment, we took portraits of people in our class. We had to use window lighting reflecting off a piece of paper and one in the studio with studio lighting. I used Arnie for studio lighting and Megan for window. We used GIMP so put the two together. Enjoy!
