In this assignment I tried to use the macro settings on my camera to get up close pictures. Macro is used to show details of an object. You don't have to zoom in when you se Macro, you just get up close to the object.
Best Picture
Aperture- 2.8
ISO- 800
Shutter Speed- 1/50
In this assignment I learned how to use the macro setting and what angles work best when getting up close on an object. I continued to work on lighting and settings the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed according to the amount of light available.
In this assignment we had to use many new tools in GIMP, like levels and clone. We also learned about dodging, burning, cropping, and straightening. This project seemed difficult, but after going through the steps and following the instructions it wasn't that bad.
In this assignment I learned about cloning and how to make smudges or glaring lights disappear. I also learned how to color over the background so the picture looks cleaner and more professional. Then I made the whole picture darker and brought out the bright color in the car and tinted the window.
For this assignment I was taking pictures of my dogs. I tried to get pictures that showed their personalities and what they're like and normally do. My older dog is protective and watchful so i got pictures of him looking out the window. My other puppy is exciting and young so she's always playing with her toys. I made sure to use the rule of thirds and adjust the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed.
Best Photo
ISO- 800 Aperture- 2.8 Shutter Speed- 1/500
In this assignment I worked on using ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. The only thing I really had trouble with was not having enough lighting. So I needed to take the pictures during the day. That way I could lower the ISO and there would be less digital noise.
In this assignment we used a new program, GIMP. GIMP is a editing program that helped us use color, resizing, layering, guides, threshold dialog, and anchoring a layer. We used these tools to create a colorful popart picture.
I learned about the program GIMP. It was difficult to understand, but after a couple of tries i finally got it. We used many tools including, colors, cropping, and resizing. After going through it many times, I understand it and it was easier and more fun.
