Picture Dictionary

In this assignment we were told to pit to get 4-5 visual dictionary pages using the definition and visuals to help convey the meaning of the chosen word. we were told to use images from a certain website, and some pictures that we actual took were supposed to be put into the dictionary page.

I learned a lot about editing this week, one thing in particular was messing around with colors and font it was very annoying sometimes and I had to restart typing the definition because I messed up and I didn't know what I did but I eventually figured it out. I had been using the wrong tool to try to change the font.

Black and White

In this assignment our class was instructed to take pictures that would look good in black and white this could be done when in dull light when the colors in normal light wouldn't be very extenuated. then they would still look as good as if the lighting was better.

Original

Iso: 104
Shutter Speed: 629/100000
Exposure: f-stop 2.8





In this I learned how to change the levels of photos that were in black and white on Photoshop's editing tools instead of gimp's. Some of photo shops features I found easier to use than gimps but they are clumsier and don't give you as many options.

Portrait Demo

In this assignment we took photos of people using the studio and areas of a lot of light and bounce cards to light up the subject. Then put the photos onto gimp and make a frame for each and put them into one image.

Nature and Landscape

For this assignment I had to take pictures of the nature and landscape around my house and school. mostly i took pictures of the floweres coming out this time in spring.

(No editing)
Exposure f2.8
Shutter Speed 41/100,000
Iso 104








For this project I learned an alternative way to get pictures uploaded to the server through my phone I took 10 out of 11 pictures in this album with the my cell. It was really difficult to get my pictures uploaded. I also realized how much color there is in the spring, besides just green.

Gimp 4

In this assignment we were instructed to take a picture of the school and then add in various images using gimp to make the photo to show something unexpected

In this assignment I got a better understanding of layers and how to add different pictures into gimp, which is something I have never done before. I also learned how to make shadows appear on the image by coping the original image then flipping it and using the color tools desaturize and levels. I had fun adding in the sand it worked out almost perfectly and I only really had to do some erasing with other layers to make it look like it was actual in the sand.

Motion Demo

Iso 80
Exposure fstop 8.0
Shutter Speed 1/160

I learned about how to pan correctly and fluidly. It was kind of shaky at first but I got it down. I also found it hard to line up the shot and take the picture when the subject was at the center of the background. But that was made to look better with some cropping.

Architecture

For this assignment I took pictures at my school that displayed its modern architecture. I didn't do much editing just some cropping mostly. and removing a few small "blemishes".

Iso: 400
Exposure: f 2.8
Shutter Speed: 1/20 sec



I realized that my school has a lot of creative architecture that I didn't really know about. I don't think may people really notice some of the intricacies of the school. I also realized some extra importance of perspective.

Gimp 3 Panoramic

In this assignment we had to take 3 pictures and put them together by taking pictures of adjacent media so that we could piece them together side by side. this was completed using Gimp.

In This assignment I learned how to put 3 pictures together. The right and middle pictures fit together almost perfectly together. but the left and middle pictures were a little off and i had to do a bit of editing to make them look flush for a lot the eraser tool worked but for some parts i had to use the clone tool. In addition to getting practice with some tools, I also got my first tastes of different layers and it was a little annoying

motion

This week I captured pictures of things that were moving and made them look moving or not.

Exposure: f3.5
Shutter Speed: 1.5 seconds
ISO: 125








This week I learned a lot more about shutter speeds and Aperture settings and how to modify them to get a good picture. This week I took a lot of pictures that turned out way to dark to use and a few that were very bright.
