Photo assignment 1 - Nature

This week I decided to take photos of nature for my assignment. I used the school camera, and stayed on the school grounds to take these photos. I took about 50 photos and then chose which were my favorite 10, and out of those 10 chose which one I liked most, or what I thought was the best picture.

My favorite/best photo

ISO: 80
F#: 3.5
Shutter speed : 1/60

Car assignment

Edited.

Original

In this assignment we were given a photo of a car with people and signs in the background, and we were to photoshop the car to look like another image of the car. We learned how to use the quick select tool, to crop out all of the background, and then paint it in. Also learned how to tint the car's windows and change the coloring of the whole car.

Motion Demo

Today in digital photography I learned how to take picture while the subject is moving, or there is motion. I learned that while the subject is moving, you move your camera with the subject, so that it is in focus, and the background of your photo is blurry, or unfocused. I also learned what settings to have the camera on with the different lighting and what to change the shutter speed to with the different speeds. 

Inspirational photo

For this assingment I will take pictures for the category animals first, these photos inspired me to take a picture of my poodle, Darla. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisepereira/1865279994/

They inspire me because they are different, and hard photos to get.

PopArt

In this assignment we learned how to make "popart" with PhotoshopCS5.1, we edited photos of ourself to make them have different colors. We did that by changing the hue/saturation.
