In this assignment we were assigned to take a picture of the school and edit in photoshop to add a scary affect to it. I learned to work with photoshop and use levels and masking to layer images. In this picture I had a Scooby doo theme and tried to make this hallway dark and mysterious.

This week for photo assignment five I decided to shoot light painting. I did this by going into my unfinished basement and used a string of orange halloween lights, a tea light, and two flashlights, and my friend Vita. During this assignment I learned how to use my camera to do light painting. What I struggled with was the settings to get the perfect look for them. I still wanted to see the background slightly since I thought it looked a little spooky (Since halloween is in two days). While editing all of these I darkened the background a little as I still wanted you to see the "creepy" looking backdrop. ISO 100, 18mm, F/20, 25.0 sec While editing all of these I darkened the background a little as I still wanted you to see the "creepy" looking backdrop. I touched the shadows and light and messed with the balance of the bright orange, the ghost, and the "boo!".
For my fourth assignment, this week I decided to shoot animals. On Sunday it had stopped raining and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get outside and take some pictures of the geese/ducks and my dogs. While doing this assignment I realized that not everything will go as planned and you have to be very patient. When doing this assignment I learned that Not everything will go your way but some of the pictures that I thought weren't too good, ended up being my favorite ones. ISO 250, 62mm, f/7.1, 1/40sec While in the editing process I did not do too much editing, as I thought the raw version was not that bad. I kept the edits to a minimum and only messed with the exposure and the white/black balance.
This week I decided to shoot photos in black and white. Over the weekend I was looking at some Halloween decorations and thought they might look cool in black and white. While doing this I had to think about the color contrasts and how it would "pop" in B&W. I learned to really think about the lighting and balancing all the photos out. ISO 250, 30mm, f/4.0, 1/13 sec While in the editing process I turned it into back and white, I lowered the exposure slightly so I could get the texture of the cloth to show, I brought up the highlights and darkened the shadows. Also while editing there was a small piece of tape on the table, that I didn't notice was there until I was editing, and I photoshopped it out.
In this assignment this is m first time working in photoshop. We were tasked to take this picture of this car (by Noelle Jacobs) and edit it to enhance it. When working on it I ran into some problems and got a bit frustrated but I worked through these problems. In the original photo it had some light reflections that I would a little distracting so I edited the, out using the clone stamp tool. I learned some of the tools and how to use them, so I can use them in future projects.
This week I decided to shoot pictures of nature. On Saturday there was a lot of rain but there was a passage of time where it stopped and the sun peaked through, so I decided to go to a small pond to shoot some picture. While at the pond I struggled getting the right angle, which resulted in me getting pretty muddy. In this photoshoot I played with the focal point and the aperture of it, also using the rule of thirds. ISO 250, f/5.3, 1/160 sec When editing this I turned up the saturation ever-so-slightly. I also turned up the contrast between the background and the plant and messed with the highlights and shadows.
In this assignment I decided to chose to shoot people. I spent an afternoon taking pictures of my best friend, which is a difficult yet very fun task. What I experienced was while shooting was the more pictures I took the more inspiration that I got for more and more pictures. What I learned was actually applying the techniques that we learned in class to my pictures, as I played around with shutter speed and aperture . ISO 100, 18mm, F11, 1/250 sec What I did during the editing process was I warmed up the colors a bit, since it is fall time now and I thought it was fitting, I turned down the exposure to showcase the sun beaming in the background but maintained the highlights and shadows to balance each other out.
