Panoramic photo assignment



For this assignment, I took 5 photos and pasted them together in Gimp to make them look like one image. I found this assignment fairly easy because I had already done something like this in Graphics last year.

Car gimp assignment


For this assignment, we took a photo of a car and edited it to make it look better using tools commonly used in gimp. This assignment was not very challenging for me because i had graphics last year and already had some photoshop experience.

Photo Assignment Motion


technical info
shutter speed-1/5
fstop-10
iso-100

For this photo assignment, i tried to capture stop motion and motion blurring. For the stop motion, I was able to shoot at 1/4000 seconds because it was so sunny. I had a problem with that as well. It was to bright to take good motion blur pictures so i had to improvise a little bit.

photo assignment 2 nature

For my second photo assignment, I decided to do nature. My family and I went to an apple orchard and i got a lot of pictures there. I also got a few pictures at Curtiss Park. Due to lack of time, I wasn't able to edit my photos and I'm not overly happy with my them.







For my best photo, I took a picture of a group of apples and tried to turn the background black and white but photo shop missed a few colors in the background.

iso-100
shutter speed-1/3200
aperture-f/1.8

photo assignment 1 best photo


My best photo came when i least expected it. I was trying to get a close up of my dog and he lowered his head as i took the picture. That took his nose out of the picture but also moved the focus point to his eyes. The picture shows his personality very well. He is very curious and playful but also clam and i think the photo captures that very well.
Technical info
shutter speed: 1/60th
iso: 400
aperture: fstop 14

Photo assignment 1

For this assignment I focused on getting some good pictures of my pets. My dog is the cutest dog in the world and very photogenic so he was easy. My snakes, on the other hand, would not stop moving and kept going into dark corners so it was very dificult to get good pictures of them.

Photo assignment 1

For the first photo assignment, i hope to get some great photos of my dog and my 3 snakes. My dog is usually lazy but has moment of playfulness and i hope to capture both of those moods. My snakes are all laid back and don't really care what is going on. I found a few good photos I will use for inspiration. The first one is of a dog named Reggie sitting in front of a mountain range. The next is a photo is of a ball python curled around a log. The last is of a German Shepard and a cat rubbing his head against the dogs nose. I'm hoping to get a few photos similar to these.
