PhotoShop #1 Pop Art

In this assignment we were given several directions to play around with photo shop.  We started out taking a picture of ourselves with photobooth, then we dragged that picture into Photo Shop.  Then we cropped our picture and made a canvas.  We then pasted four photos in each of the four corners. Then we changed the saturation, hue, and the lightness changing the color of each of the four photos.

    I learned how to follow directions closely and how to work Photo Shop.  The hue and saturation don't do much unless the lightness is up.  Along with that I learned how to post just one picture onto my blog.

Compostion Assignment

We had to read about different parts of composition and take pictures related to each of the components of composition.  Then we had to upload the pictures to PhotoShop and make a composition album.  Then we have to make our first blog on our 11 pictures of Composition.

Rule of Thirds = Spider in Web
Pattern = Locker's
Symmetry = Brick Wall
Texture = Carpet
Depth of Field = Close up tree
Lines = Reflection of Glass
Framing = Swing Set
Perspectives = Basketball hoop
Space = Rose
Balance = Tree and Shadow
Color = Flower in garden








I learned all about the composition rules in photography.  The different apertures and shutter speed deeply affect the quality of a picture.  Also just taking multiple photos of the same thing but different perspectives will make a great picture.
