For this project I went out and took pictures of different elements in nature. I tried to focus on getting close to my subject and changing the perspective to make it more interesting.

For this assignment, we had to edit a photo of a car using new tools in photoshop. There was a finished photo of the car that we had to match as best as we could. orignial photoMy editdemowhat i learnedI learned how to clone stamp and how that can be applied to get rid of anything unwanted in my photos. Also, I learned how to select specific things in the photo, so that I don't edit a part of the picture I don't want to. I had some difficulties using the select tool, as it was hard to get the outline to go where I wanted it to, but after a few tries I kinda got the hang off it. Lastly, I learned how to color the background and tint certain parts of photos. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment.
For this assignment, I had to take pictures of an object kind of like for an advertisement. I decided to take pictures of records and a record player. best photoShutter: 0.8 App: 7.1 ISO: 800 Other photosWhat i learnedI learned how to change the shutter speed so I could capture differing variations of motion. Also, this then caused me to have to change this ISO and the aperture so that there wouldn't be too much or too little light. To help control the light, I tried turning off the lights and using my phone flashlight directly shining on the object to make more of a spotlight.
For this assignment, we have to follow step by step instructions to create a repeating image that was different colors. Orginal picturePOp artjust for funI learned how to use different layers and how that can be really helpful for editing pictures. Also, I learned how to properly crop, copy and paste an image. Lastly, I learned how to change the color of an image by changing the hue and saturation. I really enjoyed doing this assignment and am excited for doing more photoshop in the future.
For this assignment I had to take pictures of an animal and try to capture their personality and/or their environment. So, I decided to take pictures of my cat, Ping, while she played inside and around her box in our living room. BEst photoShutter: 1/20 App: 2.8 ISO:400 What i learnedI learned that trying to take pictures of a loud and angry cat is pretty difficult. Every time I lifted the camera to take a picture, she would look away completely ruining the shot. I had to use about half a can of treats to get her to stay and thankfully I did get some good shots. Taking pictures of her in her box provided a unique shot, but the lighting was a little difficult then. I mainly kept the camera in auto mode because I didn't want to waste time trying to get the right shutter or aperture and miss the shot of her doing something. Overall, I think the shoot went well.
I chose to look for pictures that I could emulate for the animal photo assignment. My goal for this assignment is to be able to capture the personality of my cat and show it in an interesting way,. I chose this picture to emulate because the cat, the subject, fills the frame and shows the personality/action of the cat. Also, I plan to take pictures of my cat. I took inspiration from the way the eye stands out and is the focus of the picture. This picture is good because it shows the environment around the subject. I could do something like that for an animal in nature. I like this one because the cat is outside and the tail adds some interest. I really like this one because it shows more of the personality of the cat and the cat is stretched out in a unique way.
What I learnedFor this assignment, we learned how to use cameras on the auto setting. We also learned about how to make our photos look good through the use of composition rules. I have already taken black and white photography, so I had a decent understanding of these rules already. Lastly, we learned how to upload and photoshop our photos. Rule of thirdsI placed my subject to the right and her camera is on the top line. PatternThe repeating 1's and 0's create an interesting pattern across the field. SymmetryThe same colors on each side and the railings split the image. TextureTwo contradicting textures are side by side: the smooth rocks and the rough wood chips. Depth of FieldThe plant is in focus, while the background is blurred out. LinesThere are lines going across the field and the carvings break them up slightly. FramingMy subject is framed by the door. The picture is pretty dark and a bit blurry though. PerspectiveThe viewer is looking up at the flower instead of down. SpaceThe tree takes up the whole space. Very little space is left unused. BalanceThe eye is drawn all over the picture. One side isn't heavier than the other. ColorThe contrasting colors, red and green, really stand out against one another.
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Sarah Rose and I am a senior at Saline High School. I play lacrosse and am part of the debate team here at school. Politics and community service are what really interest me outside of school and I'm happy to say that I am part of the senior capstone class that is based off of service learning. Also, I will be taking a trip down to Haiti to build wells and bring water to communities that need that resource badly. To be completely honest, I took digital photography because I need a tech credit to graduate. However, I did take the black and white photography course and did like taking pictures. So, I'm excited to see where the class can take me and teach me.
