Shadow and Light

For this assignment, I went around school with the goal of capturing the light and shadows from different areas of the school. The windows in front of the stairs, above the lights, and some outside all had different shadows that would look cool photographed.

Animal

During this assignment, I got pictures of the family dog. Some are of the dog playing soccer, some are of him lying on the couch, and some are of him playing with the dog bone. I used the auto mode of the camera and also used a little bit of the motion setting. I edited the pictures in Photoshop and made some of them look like a sepia setting or close to it, and others I fixed the exposure and used black and white setting.

School Context Photo

During this assignment, I learned how to use gimp along with Google images in order to make a picture look realistic with unrealistic characteristics. I used a picture of a duck, a fish and an eagle and used Gimp in a new window cutting out the animal or object that I wanted to use for the context photo. Then after that, I used the paste tool in order to get the object onto the computer and then scaled the image to the correct size. Finally, I added shadows through copying and flipping the objct and darening the reflection.

Still Life

During this assignment, I learned how to foocus on a certain subject and make it look as if it were to be in a magazine advertisement. Also, I used some paper I found for the background as well as some white paper to bounce the light off of. I was aiming to shoot things you may not see everyday or that you may but in a different light.

Portrait Demo

  During this assignment, I learned what materials and types f lights are required in a portrait shooting studio. Also, I learned how to use a light card and bounce light off of the source and onto the subject. After that, I learned how to take the two portraits and edit them as a before and after like photo by merging them into one picture with two photographs.

Black and White

During this past weeks assignment, I learned how to capture the object or subject in the photograph and make it look like it is possibly an older or just a different type of picture simply by changing the color of the photograph. I also learned how to change the color of the photo on the editing software which is a good alternative if you are unsure of how you want the picture to look, you can edit the picture on the editing software.

Panoramic Assignment

During this assignment, I learned how to take a certain amount of pictures then put them together to make one picture. During this process, I went through some challenges of getting the background to match perfectly and getting the correct lighting due to the change of light while panning. I also learned how to blur out and clone certain objects if there is a mistake or a large erase mark in the picture.
