For this assignment we had to either use or a tripod or steady hand to take pictures of a large picture and overlap them with each other. After we got the pictures we had to use photoshop to merge the pictures together to make them into panoramic photos. Overall I really liked doing the panoramic photos. I was a little harder for me because I didn't use a tripod, I just used my hands but they seemed to work out pretty well, some of the pictures I tried had to be thrown away because it didn't look right because of me using my hands.

For week 3 of the photo assignments I chose to do nature. Nature was a little hard near my house for creativity wise but it was not that hard to find things to get some good pictures of. One of the big things I think I got better at trying to shoot nature photos was how to use the shutter speed well because it was pretty windy the day I took these pictures.
For week two of photo assignment I did macro pictures. I took around 100 pictures of mostly flowers using the macro setting and getting up close to get all the details in the flowers I could. Aperture: 10 Shutter Speed: 1/250 ISO: 100 These are the my 5 next best photos. I think shooting the macro photos was pretty easy when I figured out what I wanted to do. I had trouble trying to use anything other than flowers because they just didn't turn out as well and didn't get the details I wanted.
For this week I chose to do Marco photography. This week I wanted to see if I could get good pictures of flowers and their texture using the macro setting. I really like the first picture because of how they blacked out the background and got all the texture of the colorful flower.
I chose the second picture because I really liked how they, again, blacked out the background and focused on the eye and really brought out all the colors in the eye. the third picture I chose is the picture of the pencil lead. The main reason I liked this one was because of how well it got all the texture and little details of the pencil lead In this assignment we were told to take an original picture of a car and make it look like the edited picture we got. We learned how to use layers, levels. clone tool, selection tool, and cropping. We used the layer to organize our adjustments and we used the levels to change the exposer of our car. The most important tool we used was the selection tool, we used this tool to only select certain parts of the car, like the windshield, to edit them individually. Before After Second Edited What I learned from this assignment was how to use the selection tool better. I think getting to know the selection tool better is important because we are going to use it more and more in the class. I also learned how to use the exposure and different editing tool more within the selection tool.
For this assignment I took 50-100 pictures of a certain topic. This week I chose animals and took pictures of my two dogs with different apertures and shutter speeds. Aperture is 5.0, Shutter speed is 1/60, and ISO is 125. I only did a little editing to make it a little more contrast and a little brighter.
In this assignment we were told to take a picture of ourselves and copy and paste 4 of them and change the hues and colors until it looks like the first picture. We used filters, guides, resizing canvases, threshold dialog, and moved layers to make the picture look like it is supposed to. I learned from this assignment how to do a lot of different things in photoshop. I learned how to copy and paste more than one picture, how to use the rulers to get an even picture, how to get a new layer and change the size of the canvas I am using, I also learned how to use the hue and saturation better. I also think I learned about how to just find things better in photoshop in general.
#1shutter speed is 1/10. #2 shutter speed is 1/80. #3 shutter speed is 1/125. #4 shutter speed is 1/200 The shutter speed is shown here in picture one when I made the shutter speed 1/10 and the picture is blurry and in picture four I made the shutter speed 1/200 and it froze him dribbling. I had to make the picture brighter to compensate for the less light coming in. Aperture is 2.8 Aperture is 4.0 Aperture is 5.6 Aperture is 8.0 In these pictures I tried to show how changing the aperture changes the depth of field. The pictures don't look much different because of the camera but in picture 1, I used 2.8 aperture to make a shallow depth of field with a wide open aperture with more light, and have the person in the back be blurry. In picture 4, I used 8.0 aperture to try and make a longer depth of field with a smaller aperture to let less light in, and have the person be sharper in the back.
For the first photo assignment I chose to focus on animals. I want to learn how to shoot the best pictures I can of animals in many different ways. I thought the first one was cool just because of how they shot the dog in motion in air and froze it with a fast shutter speed.
I liked the second picture because of how they went close up to the eyes of the animal and shot it in a different way than most other pictures I saw. I also liked the third picture because of how they took the picture in a bigger aperture so the ball in front of the dog was in the focus more. I just thought this was cool because it is a different way to have the dog in the photo still. I thought all of these were cool photos because how they all had the animal in the picture in different ways, whether it was close up in the eyes or in the background more. |
