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.

Macro Assignment

During this assignment, I learned how to use certain settings such as shutter speed, ISO, aperture, and exposure to capture the detail of an image. I also learned how to focus on certain subjects and blur out the backround so that the focal point is the main thing you see. I also learned how to properly zoom in on a subject without zooming in too much or too little.

                                      ISO: 80     Aperture:     3.2        Shutter Speed: 1/1250

Gimp Retouch Car Demo

I learned how to edit an image by using Gimp. I learned how to use certain tools such as the clone tool, the blur tool,and a few others. I also learned how to make an image look better than the original by blacking or blurring out the background.

Architecture

During this assignment, I learned how to capture the essence of the architecture that makes up what we see everyday. When we drive by a building we don't think of how old it is or what it would be like in a picture. I learned that any building has architecture that is able to be captured and photographed. I also learned how to use certain settings in order to blur out the background and how to use the ISO in place of shutter speed on a point and shoot camera.

                                                                     ISO: 100

                                             Aperture: 3.5                     Shutter Speed: 1/500

Motion Demo

During this assignment, I learned how to focus on a subject while using the shutter speed to blur out the rest of the picture. I also learned how to pan in order to make sure that the movement of the subject is captured correctly. In order to focus properly, you need to have an idea of where the subject is going to be and have a pre focused destination.

Nature and Landscape

During this assignment we were able to choose a certain element to photograph. This week I chose to do nature and landscape. There are many different trees, pumpkins, some flowers, as well as the school pond with the swans. I learned from this assignment that there are many things around us that we can capture that are involved with nature and landscape.

Emily Burke Gimp Assignment

In this assignment we were asked to make a pop art photograph of ourselves or someone else to create an Andy Warhol effect by using an application called Gimp. I learned how to improve my knowledge of using Gimp to make the pop art effect. I also learned that there are many different steps you need to follow carefully in order to accomplish the task we are given. In addition to that, I learned what types of effects go into making one different effect.
