Assignment DescriptionFor this assignment, I had to take pictures of nature. I worked on taking pictures of shaking objects and coping with less than ideal weather.

It was cold, raining, and gloomy, so I had to use a plastic bag around my camera. This shoot helped me work on taking pictures of moving things.

The most used tool was layer mask. PhotosAssignment ReflectionIn this assignment I learned one of the most important tools of photoshop; layer masking.

Assignment DescriptionFor this week, I decided to take pictures of a family at an apple orchard in town. I switched between portrait and landscape photography to best capture the image and its focus. This assignment was a bit of a challenge because I do not normally take pictures of more than one person at once. Unedited Best PhotoPicture StatsShutter Speed: 1/2500 Aperture: f3.5 ISO: 100 Edited Best PhotoOther 5 PicturesAssignment SummaryThis assignment really put me out of my comfort zone and helped me improve at shooting more than one person at once. The most difficult parts were the lighting and the framing. The lighting was very inconsistent so I had to keep adjusting myself and my camera for the quickly changing light. The framing was hard because I am not used to shooting several people at once. Overall, I think this assignment ended up turning out very well.

Original ImageEdited ImageAssignment ReflectionI had the idea to make some sort of fight scene at first, but then it just became chaos. I found new tools such as the bandage tool. I basically just practiced the things I already knew and had fun with this.
Assignment DescriptionFor this assignment, I chose to photograph an event. The timing was perfect because Saline's homecoming was this weekend. This really helped me work on my portraits of multiple people. Best PictureTechnical DataISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/2000 Aperture: f2.2 Other PicturesAssignment SummaryThis assignment was very fun because I got to take pictures of a lot of my friends and new people that I've never taken pictures of before.

This will be helpful in the future to create more panoramas.
Assignment DescriptionIn this assignment I went to a flower garden and did my best to capture the flowers extremely close up. I tried to use a high shutter speed in order to compensate for camera shaking. Best PhotoTechnical DataShutter Speed : 1/2000 Aperture : 2.8 ISO : 200 Other PhotosSummaryThis was my first time using a macro lens, so I learned a lot. I learned that in order to get a good picture, you have to turn the shutter speed up because of your camera shake. Also, I improved my photographer's eye because I had to sort of "zoom in" on what I wanted to photograph.
Assignment DescriptionFor this assignment, we had to try to match the original photo to the sample photo. We had to do this using clone stamp, brush, quick select, and more. Original Photo 1Edited Photo 1Original Photo 2Edited Photo 2Assignment SummaryIn this assignment I really started to understand the basics of photoshop. I now understand how to use text, clone stamp, select, crop, and brush. These tools are only the fundamentals, but will help me in the future as I continue to use photoshop.
MacroFor this next week, I'm going to go to a friends house and take macro pictures of their flowers. I will try to take the pictures at different or unorthodox angles so they aren't the same old macro pictures that everyone has seen a million times before. I'm going to do something different with this.
Assignment DescriptionFor this assignment, I had to capture motion. I chose to use a dancing model to show my motion. I then decided to order smoke bombs to really telegraph the movement in the photograph. This was a very fun assignment to do. Best PhotoTechnical DataShutter Speed: 1/2500 Aperture: 1.8 ISO: 100 Other PhotosSummaryThis assignment was extremely challenging and high intensity. The smoke bombs only lasted for about a minute, so we had to plan out exactly what we were going to do before we actually started using the smoke. I learned how to prepare shots and how to quickly take a ton of images very quickly. I do wish that some of the pictures are more centered, but they turned out very well otherwise. I would like to do this again in the future.
