Light Painting

For my Seventh and final photo project, i did light painting. I think light painting is really fun and is a fun way to explore with different shutter speeds. It is a good way to learn photo composition, and i had a really fun time taking these photos.

Event Assignment

For this photoshop assignment, i did event, i think event is a good learning experience and is fun to do when you go out with your family. Me and my family went to a park in ann arbor called " The Arb ". So i took pictures of my self and other people in an event.

Photoshop Tutorial

So, we got to choose a photoshop tutorial of our choice, and try to re create and accomplish this tutorial. I chose to do a tutorial of how to make an animated GIF using the puppet warp tool. So it was a fun experience to have such and open-ended assignment, and get to choose what we got to do.

Photo 5 (Black & White)

I think black and white photography was a good learning experience, it is god because you have to pay attention to the composition, so it looks nice, but still looks natural. Also, contrast is important, so your picture doesn't just blend into the background, and i feel i did a good job of this.

Shutter Speed: 1/1000

Aperture: f/2.8

School Context Post

I think the school context was a fun experience to change what the school looks like, and was a fun experience overall. I liked putting in spiderman and the villains, but it was really fun to look at other people's photos.

Motion Blur Demo

I liked the motion lur demo we did, i think the motorcycle  was really good to use for motion blur, and it was a fun learning experience, and it was fun to take pictures of Mr. O'donnel.

Food Assignment

I think food was a really good way to organize and make a good image composition. This really made it seem more advertised, and the picture came out really nice. So, i think this assignments was a good way to set up a picture, and to get to eat it afterwards.

Portrait Post

Summary

Our assignment was to take two portraits, one in a portrait atmosphere, then the other b the window or sunlight, and using a white card to reflect the light better on the subject's face. It was a good experience to adjust the camera and have to change setting in order to have a better photo, so i think this was a great learning experience.

Stil Life Project

Summary:
I chose still life for my photo three assignment. i think that actually arranging the items is a good way to learn better ways to compose your photos, and make them better. It was fun to spend time to arrange the picture, and it can make it nicer. So it think that still life was a great way to learn better photo composition.

Still life inspiration

I Am doing Still life for my next photo project, i think it really is a good way to show and object's detail, and can really be good at teaching you to organize your pictures beforehand. So i think this is a great project to do, and will teach me a lot.

Panoramic assignment

I think our panoramic assignment was a great way to incorporate our elements of photography, but we got to use photoshop and make really cool photograph. It was fun to make a long picture that had a cool visual effect, and i think the pictures came out really nice.

Macro Assignment

I think macro is  a great theme of photography because it brings out a lot of detail. You have to make sure you have the right composition or the subject may be blurry, so you have o do it just right. I enjoyed macro because you had to have all of the right settings.

Car photoshop assignment

I learned a lot from this assignment, it is a good way to way to show us how to use photoshop, whether for good or for evil. It was good learning, and it was really fun to make it look realistic,so in the end, it was really nice after it came together.

Landscape Assignment

Assignment Description:

So i went to mill pond park at about noon, it was a little hard to be patient and get the photos right because it was really cold out. I thought the old big trees alongside the river would work well, and i think that my photos came together nicely, and i think the new spring green was really good to bring out the picture colors

Pop art blog post

I think this Pop art assignment was a god introduction to photoshop, it taught us how to use a couple of useful tools, and it helped us learn how to make a good art of a basic photo. It was fun to do this, and in the end it was nice to see the image come together.    

I am going to do landscape as my first assignment. I think a stationary picture of a landscape can be great to really show the detail of nature. Landscape is a great way to also use shutter speed to enhance detail. These are a few links i will use as inspiration.
