Panoramic

In today's editing assignment, we learned how to make a panoramic photo. To do this, we first took at least three different pictures that all came together with a 10-20 percent overlap. Next, we edited the pictures in Gimp and did the best we could to blend the three together. I think the end result is pretty cool.

Photo Three - Black and White

I chose to do Black and White for this week's photo assignment. This picture really captured my attention, and in a way, seems that it might leave the viewer wondering. I like how the pattens and lines come together and fill the frame.

Motion Demo

In the motion demo today we learned how to pan with a moving object. Panning creates an effect that brings the moving object in focus and blurs everything else, almost as if the background seems to be moving. To do this, we adjusted our technical settings for the bright outdoors as Mr. Bush went around and around on his bike.

Photo Two - Macro

For this week's photo assignment, I chose to do macro. I took me awhile to pick my best picture, but I decided that this would be the one. I like how the picture draws attention to the tiny leaf despite all that surrounds it.

Aperture: 2.8

Photo Retouching

For our second editing assignment we explored the many different possibilities of photo retouching in Gimp. We took Noelle Jacob's auto show picture and transformed it into something you might see in a magazine.

Photo One - Nature

For the first photo assignment I chose nature. After a somewhat-awkward laying on shells at the beach, and several weird looks, I decided that this would be my best picture. I like the different perspective the photo gives compared your average beach picture.

Pop Art

Today we edited our first photo using Gimp. The purpose of this assignment was to learn about and become more familiar with the program. In order to do this, we made an Andy Warhol/"Pop Art" style picture.
