Food Assignment

In this assignment I took pictures of food. It was definitely harder than I thought it would be. My pictures turned out very average I was trying to use the different colors of fruits and vegetables on macro setting to get some cool pictures. However, it did not turn out very well. This turned out to be my best one.

Xbox

Micro:

Pacifist:

Panoramic Assignment

In this assignment we had to create a panoramic picture using at least 3 individual pictures. Once we had our pictures we had to use the photo editing software called, GIMP to stitch them together. I learned that stitching 3 individual pictures into one is very hard; however, you can really get a cool picture effect if you do that.

Macro Photo Assignment

In this assignment I chose to take "macro" pictures. "Macro" is a technique used to take a picture of an object at a very close range to change your perspective on it.

Event Photo Assignment

In this assignment I chose to take pictures of my family's easter egg hunt. This did not go very well. I was battling poor lighting and tons of digital noise no matter what settings I used. I was not very happy with the overall quality of all of my shots. Some turned out decent but these are not as good as I had hoped they would turn out.

This picture, in my opinion, is my best one.

Here are my 10 favorite shots in a slide show

Motion Me

In this project we made a video using the program motion. We had to give our name and 5-10 adjectives that describes ourselves. I learned that you can get some really cool looking effects by adding items from motion to your video.

Warhol Effect

We edited this using the program GIMP. We were going for the "Worhol" effect. I learned that just by adding the same picture you can really get a cool effect.

Sound Story

We made this project in my video production 2 class. We had to create a one minute long story using only sound. This project taught me that sound is very important. You notice the slightest silence or the slightest difference in sounds.

We learned about the different types of composition shots that you can take in photography and than we had to apply them in 11 different shots.

Texture= Tree
Lines= Flags
Rule of Thirds= Joey
Depth of Field= Shoes

Pattern= School Windows
Perspective= Basketball Hoop
Color= Dresser
Space= Flame

In this project I learned that there are so many ways you can utilize different techniques to make your pictures all the more better. Simple things you can do on any type of camera and can make a world of difference in your pictures.
