The picture below is my best picture of nature. It is a pine tree branch with snow on it. From this assignment I learned how to find photos that are better seen in black and white.
The slideshow below my best picture are some others that I think are better presented in black and white.
For this second Gimp assignment, I edited a picture of a car by changing the background, and doing some detailing. From this assignment, I learned how to edit photos even more than just changing the light and sharpness.
For my Animal assignment, the picture above is my #1. It is a picture of one of my dogs sitting. I took this at my house while she was out playing. I took this because it shows her after a lot of running, taking a little rest; which shows her personality... which is quiet and calm usually.
The slideshow below is a couple more pictures of my two dogs playing and running outside. I feel that these pictures show their personalities very well
For this assignment I had to use Gimp to do a 'Andy Warhol-style' picture. I just took a picture of myself and colored each square differently. From Gimp, I learned how do do these kind of photos, without just using Photobooth.
For my first assignment, I hope to take good pictures of my dog like the pictures above. I'll probably do a close up on my dog, or maybe even an action shot. But I think a close-up will look cuter and more focused. I want to take a picture of my dog because hes a good animal to take pictures of and it won't bother him. Also, it'll be easier I think to take a picture of my dog because with wild animals, you can't get them to 'sit' or 'stay'.
Assignment: We had to take 11 pictures around school (even home) to display the 11 different aspects we've learned so far about photography.
What I learned: I learned how to take pictures better, and to focus more on any of the 11 aspects; depth of field, rule of thirds, lines, symmetry, texture, space, balance, color, frame, perspective and pattern. With these, I know how to take pictures with more meaning.
Lines is the Stairs looking down. Rule of Thirds is the tree in the snow. Depth of field is the handrail. Pattern is the lockers. Symettry is the snowflake salt shakers. Texture is ice on the ground. Balance is the picture of the metal seats. Perspective is a door, looking down. Space is the footprint. Frame is the tree outside with the framed window around it. Color is the green box with a hole in it.
