Still Life

      In this assignment I went around my house setting up little "studios" trying to advertise whatever was in the frame. My favorite photos are the ones with the checkers because the lighting is good and I Just like the way the picture looks.

BEFORE                                                                                                    AFTER










     Shutter: 1/100, Aperture: f4, ISO: 100


 
 In this assignment I learned that the topic Still Life/ Product is a hard topic because you are actually setting things up and is hard to create. Also, in this topic you have to adjust the lighting to make the photo look better. Overall, I had fun doing this topic because it is different then all the other topics I have done this year.

Tutorial Lightning

    I this assignment we had to pick a tutorial and the one I chose creating lightning. My background picture was a photo of a airplane taking off so I could have lightning striking it, but it was quite difficult to do this assignment.



In this assignment I learned how to create lightning. Creating lightning was a very difficult process and required a lot of work. This tutorial was very fun to do, but the directions were kind of hard to complete and they lack a few important steps

Dictionaries

      In this assignment we had to go into photoshop and pick a word and put pictures on that canvas that would describe the word. We had to three and mine were spooky, chilly, and Imagination. I really liked the frozen one because of the color and how it was organized.




      In this assignment I learned how to put pictures in photoshop that describe a certain word. I didn't like this assignment as much as the PUNS because it wasn't as fun and you could be as creative, but it was still pretty fun

Puns

In this assignment we had to create a play on words using images we downloaded from the Internet. Some of puns were time flies, money doesn't grow on trees, and who cut the trees. I think that my PUN, who cut the cheese was the best was my favorite one because it was the most unique and colorful.
   
    
     In this assignment I learned how to put images together to create a play on words. I thought that this assignment was really fun because we could be creative and you got to choose what your topic was. Overall, I had a really great time

     In this assignment we had to take photos of other people. We had to go around the school until we found a window, that we bounce the light off onto another person. The second photo we took was up at the studio a take a portrait photo with different types of lights.

The last thing I learned is that you want to make sure you are close enough to the subject so you fill the whole frame
