Photo Assignment 7 - Animals

For our classes last photo assignment I took pictures of animals in the veterinary clinic by my house.

No Editing
ISO = 100
Exposure = f/8
Aperture = 1/250



The hardest part was getting staying still or catching what they were doing in action at that moment.

Gimp Visual Puns

In this assignment we had to come up with a pun and math pictures that would best define it. We used GIMP to help put these pictures together, and we had to create a total of three.

This assignment helped me better understand how to use the erase tool, the re-size tool, and the layers tool.
The puns are....

1st photo = dolphin, "doll" "fin"
2nd photo = Minnesota, "Mini" "soda"
rd photo = duck tape, a "duck" "tape"

Photo Assignment 6 - Black and White

For the sixth photo assignment I chose to do black and white.  I took pictures of both still life objects and people in motion.

No editing

ISO = 200
Exposure = 1/320 sec
Aperture = f/4






What I learned was what things would look best in black and white, and what I needed to change in order for it to look good in black and white.  The hardest part was finding or adjusting the subject to make it look good in black and white.  Or for the motion catching the person in the right place.

Gimp Dictionary Assignment

For this assignment we had to think of a word and put pictures together that we think express the word we chose.  We had to put 3 or 4 pictures together to form one complete picture.  We had to create 4 total.





I had to do a lot of resizing and erasing of pictures.  The pictures i had to erase were the pictures that i put on top of other ones but some of the picture I didn't want to so i erased out those parts to show the picture beneath.  It was also a challenge to find certain pictures I wanted and made them fit together in a way that looked good.

Photo Assignment 5 - Event

For my fifth photo assignment I decided to do an event, the event was the regional track meet hosted by our school.

I changed the colors of the original picture to bring out the yellow and make the girl stand out more. I also sharpened the photo to try and take away some of the fuzziness around her.

ISO = 200
Aperture = f/8
Exposure = 1/80 sec




I learned how to time pictures better, also how to adjust my settings to better take motion pictures.

Gimp Portrait Demo

In this assignment we used the library to take portrait photos of kids in our class. We also went somewhere in our school to take a portrait photo but this time using a reflective board to get more light into the picture.

In GIMP we had to follow instructions on what to do, but we also had to use what we already knew about GIMP to finish the assignment, like learn how to frame using the layers tool.  

School Editing Assignment

For this in class assignment we had to take a picture of some place in school or on the grounds. Then we came back and used to GIMP to edit our pictures. We had to add other pictures from websites to put in our photo and make it look as real as possible.

I took a picture of the side of the library then found on the internet a picture of an aquarium and fit it to the side of the wall. I had to re-size the photo using the perspective tool on GIMP. I also had to enlarge and scale the photo multiple times making sure the objects in the pictures were not fuzzy or distorted.
