Best Photo

I think this is my best picture because of all the colors. I love how the sky looked and I just happened to have my camera with me and got to photograph this amazing scene.

Event Photography (Photo Assignment #7)

I think this was my favorite photo assignment of them all. It not only had amazing motion/event photography moments but I also go to have fun with my friends while doing it. This is one of those times that I will remember when I am old and gray and looking back at my memories. To me that is what photography is all about, memories change and fade but photos never do, that is what makes photography so special. These were taken at The Palace in Auburn Hills during the MHSAA State Wrestling Tournament. ISO-1600 Shutter Speed-1/250th Aperture-4

Visual Puns Gimp Assignment

This Gimp assignment was very creative. You had to really think to get ones that you thought were "good puns". My puns were Card Shark, Hole in One, and Taco Bell.

Visual Definition Gimp Assignment

I really had fun with this Gimp assignment, I think it is my favorite of all of them. I used a lot of my different Gimp skills to make this visual definition that I think represents Masquerade. The masks and couples are what come to mind to me when I think of masquerade so I hope that the picture shows this.

Macro Photo Assignment #6

This assignment gave me a new respect for aperture and depth of field. I now realize that the depth of field can either make or break a photo. They bring a new perspective and focus the attention where you want it most. This is a photo of an antique curling iron my mom has that is from my great grandmother. ISO-400 Shutter Speed-1/60th Aperture-5

School Context Gimp Assignment.

This gimp project was really cool and I liked everything that I learned, I never really knew how artist did it but now I feel like a real artist because I know how to do it.

Photo Assignment #5 (Architecture)

I really had fun with this photo project. I thought it was cool to see all of the skyscrapers and how they look. ISO-200 Aperture-2.8 Shutter Speed- 1/17

Motion Demo

Well, during this assignment one thing I learned is how hard it can be to take motion photos. It took me many tries and standing out in the bitter cold before I got this photo. I learned how to pan and will be using it on my photo assignment this week since my topic is motion.

Light Painting Photo Assignment #4

Doing this project I learned how to do a new and in my opinion amazing kind of art. It was so much fun to do and even more fun to do with friends. I learned how the camera will pick up some colors stronger than others. I think this assignment has been my favorite so far. ISO-100 Shutter Speed- 20 seconds Aperture-5.6

Panorama Gimp Assignment

During this Gimp assignment I learned how complicated panoramas are. They take a lot of time and dedication. I love how they turn out in the end, they create really cool perspectives. I learned how to scale, and change the perspective.

Black and White Photos

I took this picture while a friend and I were walking her dog. The white is his real size and the black(his shadow) is the size he thinks he is. I made it black and white on the camera. ISO-800 Shutter speed- 1/4000 Aperture-5.6

Portrait Assignment.

During this assignment I learned the importance of good lighting. I also learned how to set up photos. Using Gimp I learned how important layers are.

Landscape Photo

I took this photo over the weekend but I'm not quite sure exactly where this was taken. We were on a road trip this weekend and these were some of the pictures that came out of it. I really liked the way the clouds looked and how the colors really came through. ISO-300 Aperture-5.6 Shutter Speed-1/60

Car Retouch

Doing this demo i learned a lot about the Gimp program. I learned how to use the free select to move around the car and change the background. I also learned how to use the clone tool and used it to get rid of all the little spots on the car. The dodge and burn tool helped me a lot too. I also used the levels tool to tint the windows. I now have many more things I can do to my photos to make them the best they can be.

Photo Project 1 (Animals)

This is my best photo. I wanted to do an animal that was different from what everyone else was doing and I think that these goats were the perfect choice. The goats personality really shines in this photo. His name is Phil and he was begging for food. ISO-100 Aperture-6.3 Shutter Speed-1/80

With this knowledge of how to do this editing tools will allow me to now edit my photos with all of these cool effects.
