Black and White Assignment

This assignment is a collection of black and white photographs.  I decided to look through all the photographs that I hadn't used from previous assignments and using Photoshop, I was able to edit them to be black and white.  I learned how to easily do this by using the edit option for black and white within the photoshop program.  I really enjoyed looking back at photos that I had already taken and using pictures that I wanted to use in previous assignments but didn't have space for.  Changing them to black and white made them look more polished and elegant.

Gimp Portrait Assignment


This assignment was meant to teach us a couple different things.  The first thing that we learned was the proper way to take a portrait style photograph in the Studio at Saline High School.  Through this experience we learned how to use proper lighting, the correct settings on our cameras, and proper angles to take photos.  Also, we learned how to do some new things through the Gimp program.  We learned the correct way to anchor photographs and frame them in order to make them look more professional.  Overall, this was a very educational assignment and I learned a lot.

Still Life Assignment

For this assignment, I was asked to find items within my environment to take photographs of.  I traveled throughout Saline High School in order to find still objects to take pictures of.  By using Photoshop, I was able to edit some of the photos in order to make them clearer and more interesting.
