Gimp Assignment 2 : Editing

This week we explored gimp further and learned how to edit pictures. We used different layers and selection tools, and also cloning to fix the picture. I definitely feel more accustomed with gimp, and now I know how to edit pictures.

Photo Assignment 3: Nature

This week I chose to take pictures of nature. It was a perfect week to do this because it was sunny and the skies were clear most of the time. When it was not sunny there was still a cool fall lighting. Also it is fall so there are so many different colors and the trees are really pretty. This picture is of a branch with only one leaf left.

Gimp assignment 1

In this gimp assignment we used the andy warhaal affect. This is a very cool affect where you take one picture and compose it so that there are 4 pictures in one and each one is a different color. My picture is of me at my lake in the summer.

Photo Assignment 2: Pattern/Texture

This is a picture of a bulletin board in the high school. The board is covered with the benifit concert advertisements of the band We the Living. The posters covered the board creating a pattern. I changed the picture to black and white to enhance the white/black pictures on the black bulletin board. For the rest of the album I took pictures of objects around my house or the school that showed a nice pattern or texture.

Photo Assignment 1: Still life

For my fist photo assignment I chose the topic of still life. My best picture is of some shelf clips. In the original picture the clips were gold and brown and on a green folder. In photo shop I edited it to make the green folder pop, while the clips were black and white.

ISO: 80

Aperture: f/2.6

Shutter speed: 1/60 sec

First Photo Assignment

For the first photo assignment I am going to take pictures of still life. I was also planing on using color to make the pictures even cooler. Here are some pictures that inspired me.

still life by the pond, Sido

Still-life with a violet theme. Feathers, ribbon, glass beads and yes, glitter and a waterdrop, Chantal Rose

Mike Wilson

Picklesgee

I think these pictures are good examples of still life and color. I was thinking of using colored pencils or crayons on white or black paper for my pictures.

Composition Assignment #2

These pictures are for the composition assignment #2. Each one represents a different topic. The topics are color, balance, space, perspective, and framing. For framing I took a picture of my cat through her cat door. My space picture was of the top of a pine tree and the blue sky. I represented color with a handful of brightly colored fruit loops on a white plate. The last picture is a picture of my friend that is sitting down, while i am standing up taking the picture. This is a cool perspective shot because it is looking down on her. In this composition project we learned more ways to take a picture. for example we learned about framing, and perspective. Also we learned how to balance a picture.
