Before I went into Digital photography 2, I took digital photography 1 a year ago so I was a little rusty when it came to taking pictures. I wasn't as experienced as I was when I took Digital photography 1 at the beginning but throughout the trimester, I learned more about the camera like shutter speed, aperture, the different modes, HDR, light painting, panoramics and also panographics. I feel like I am a better photographer now than I was when we started this class. My favorite type of photography was taking animals ,landscape and also taking macro I thought was my favorite and also what I was really good at. My favorite photoshop lessons have to be doing the HDR, panographic, panoramic, light painting, composite, multiple me and the tutorials. I really enjoyed doing those photoshop assignments. My likes about this class was doing different photoshop assignments and being able to pick what photo assignment we wanted to do. My dislikes about this class was some of the assignments like the duplicate style I didn't like. Overall, I really enjoyed Digital photography 2 over Digital photography 1 and I thought my photo assignments turned out better.

For this photo assignment, we took pictures of ourselves or of ourselves doing something we like to do. For environmental, we took pictures of someone else doing something like driving a car or teaching a class room. We were suppose to take 4 pictures of self portrait and 2 pictures of environmental. I learned that you have to be creative when you take these pictures so that they look like you spent time and effort on each photo. For this photo assignment we took portraits of people in our class in the studio and out of the studio. I took a lot of pictures with people having a different look on there face. For the non studio, I went outside and took pictures of Shay with his different expressions on his face. I learned that if you are too close to the wall you will see the shadow and it doesn't make a good picture. For this photo assignment, I took light painting. I took my pictures in my backyard and used a flashlight for the light. I tried using my phone flashlight for it but it did not work as well as the flashlight did. The light painting was hard at first because I never did it before but after taking a lot of pictures, it got easier and easier. I learned that it has to be pitch black in order to take the picture and you have to be creative in what you draw. For this photo assignment, we took magazines and found ads inside the magazine. Once we found an ad, we took the page out of the magazine and tries to duplicate what it looked like but with our own pictures. I did an ad with a car and some bayer aspirin. I liked this photo assignment because it was different from others assignments we did before. I learned that you need to pick a good ad to do and you have to know how to use the gradient tool. For this photo assignment, I took landscape. For this photo assignment, I went outside in my front yard and backyard to take pictures of landscape. It was a lot easier to take landscape at my house because I have 3 acres of land. I have taken landscape in the past so it was easier than some of the photo assignments I took before. I learned that you have to be creative with what you take a picture of so it doesn't look too boring or too bland. For this photoshop assignment, I took a picture of an object, thing, or person and we put it in photoshop. In photoshop, I took my picture and created it into 15 different tiny photos that shaped the image like it was before. For this photoshop assignment, I took a picture of a plane and put in photoshop. I had to put the plane inside the TV and make it seem like it was popping out of the TV. This was my favorite one I did because I could of chose any photo and it would still look cool. For this photoshop assignment, I got a picture of a pencil and make it into a gif. It took awhile because I could not get it to move at first but then I finally figured it out. I liked this assignment because the possibility of what I could of made into a gif is endless.Also, the colors that I could of made is endless too. Link
For this assignment, we were suppose to take pictures of what we like as of now and we were suppose to make one of us in the future. Doing these collages were hard because you had to use the blending tool and sometimes it was confusing and also you had to get rid of the rough edges. I learned that you have to take your time with the blending or else it won't turn out good. For this photo assignment, I took pictures of animals. I took pictures of my dog for this assignment. It was hard to take pictures of my dog because he wouldn't stand still or he would run away from me so I had to bait him with dog treats. What I learned for this assignment is you have to be patience especially with my dog because he never wanted to stay still. For this photo assignment, we took Panographics. For this assignment, we had to take 3 panographics at school and two off campus. We had to do one auto and one hand made. I took pictures around the school and I also took pictures in my backyard for this assignment. his was my first time doing this assignment so I had trouble with some of my photos. I learned that you have to have the right angles and be creative of what you take. |
