Edited

Original

Exposure triangle

• Shutter Speed- 1/10
• FNumber- 4.2
• ISO- 1600

 

In this assignment I did still or product.  I took a couple pictures of fire with a candle, and a match.  I also used my brothers indoor soccer shoes and a soccer ball with a light reflecting of a wall.  My other pictures were of playing cards laying on a black cloth.

This assignment went okay, these were not my greatest pictures but the candlelight with the book looks good.  I had trouble with trying to focus on the playing cards with y dads camera.

Photo Shop tutorial assignment

http://photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/photoshop-video-tutorials/photoshop-video-tutorial-how-to-create-see-through-ghost-photos.html

I found a tutorial for photo shop that made people in a picture into ghost looking objects.  This didn't go as well as in the video but it didn't go bad.  I had to mess around with different layers and pasity and fill effects.

Dictionary Assignment

In this assignment we had to take a word from the dictionary and put it on a canvas.  The we had to take pictures from the internet and put them on the canvas.  We also had to put the definition to the word.

I had a lot of fun in this assignment.  I did well with softening the corners and edges of the pictures.  The pictures went well together.

Pun Assignment

In this assignment we had to take a play on words or a saying and put that word/saying into pictures.  Pictures are said to be worth a 1000 words. 

I learned about how to cut pictures from the internet and put them on layers over each other.

Photo Assignment 6: Architecture

Exposure Triangle:

• FNumber- 2.8
• Shutter Speed- 1/50
• ISO- 640

 

In this assignment I did architecture.  I go to the Church of St. Andrews so I went and took pictures of the church.  It was very dark so I had to use the flash.  Many of my photos had a lot of digital noise because it was so dark. The church had some great architecture.

In this assignment I learned that when it is fairly dark, digital noise is prevalent. This assignment went alright.  This is not one of my best pictures but it is no bad.

Photo Assignment 5: Light Painting

Exposure Triangle

• ISO- 100
• FNumber- 4.2
• Shutter Speed- 30 seconds

 

In this assignment I did light painting.  I went down to my basement and put my camera on a tripod. Then I had my brother stand in front as I did different drawings around him.  Then I went outside and used a sparkler and a flashlight and did different stuff.

Unfortunately this assignment would have been so much better if I hadn't deleted all the pictures from outside.  All my great pictures of light painting are gone and now I'm stuck with these crap pictures. 

Portrait Assignment

In this assignment we had to take two differnet types of portraits.   One was a studio portrait which is a set up number of lights.  This is more of a proffesional type of picture.  the other one is a bounce light portrait.  This is using the sun light and a glossy bounce card.

The studio portrait went well , but the bounce light didn't seem to work very well.
