This class was definitely something different and more challenging at times then digital photography one, but I still really liked a lot of the projects. Some of the things I liked about this class was the weekend photo assignments we had to do where we had the option to shoot photos of specific categories of photos. Which made me take light painting photos which I had no idea how to do and thought I was really gonna mess it up, but then turned out to be probably one of my best photos of the year. I also liked shooting pantographic's which gave the photos a whole new perspective, and the whole photoshop side of things where we got to chose for one assignment what we wanted to do which was cool because those turned out to be my best photoshop assignment's. I overall really enjoyed all of the assignment's this class had to offer, and how it was different from other classes where it was ten times more tech involved which was nice. ^Best Photo of the Year ^ Other Best Photos of the Year Like I said before I thought this class was a lot of fun and had challenges to it, but it also taught me a lot in the whole process. This class was a struggle for me in the beginning of the year with me struggling to figure things out again in photoshop like with the whole layers part and trying to frame photos in a more complicated way. But after not taking it for two trimesters it slowly came back to me and by the end of the year I knew how to use photoshop like I remember I was able to. Photoshop taught me a lot of new things I didn't know how to do like the whole pollaroid assignment have to figure out how to duplicate photos and unveil them and reveal them. And I also learned in photoshop how to blend photos together and figure out how to work opacity into the photo making it look nice. On the photo side though I learned all about HDR and learned even more things you can do with the exposure of a photo and how to take pantographic with three to four pictures. With the whole portrait unit we had at the end I learned how to the whole set up of lighting makes the whole photo also how to not use such a noisy background. I hope to take more fun classes like this in the photography department because it was something different instead of the classroom which was so much fun.

The second half of the portrait assignments we had to do were stuff we mostly had to go home and take photos of like self portraits of something that can relate to you in a personal way and environmental showing an activity you do. Best Photo Self Portrait Best Photo Environmental What I liked about these photos was the fact of how easy they were but fun but at times my camera would switch out of portrait so that was a problem. But like I said before this was a lot of fun to go out and shoot some portraits.
This week in digital photography our class is working on 4 assignments of portrait styles to shoot with them ranging from the studio inside with the backdrop. To the ones you take outside of the studio with your own background scenery. The person I shot these photos of was a friend of mine Josh. I had a lot of fun shooting these assignments because we got to go outside with the nice weather which made some good backgrounds for the non studio. And the studio set up photos I thought we set up the lighting nice for the shots so overall I thought it went well.
During this weekends photo assignment I nearly forgot to take photos but as I was in Detroit I remembered that I could shoot some there. Thankfully my Dad had his camera on him because a lot of these photos turned out very well and I got some great shots of architecture. I really liked this photo assignment because it was a lot of fun to shoot and we were in Detroit and Detroit has a lot of unique looking buildings that can have good turn outs for photos. I also really like to shoot architecture so that was a plus along with the trip.
During this weeks photo assignment the class had the option to find advertisements online or advertisements win magazines and try our best to duplicate them and in the duplicates we had to take a photo of our own and put it into the photo . I really liked this photo assignment because you can be creative with it and you get to try and redo the photo in photoshop which was fun. With the addition of picking your own idea the hard part was finding the idea at the same time though.
In this weeks photo assignment I decided to take photos for black and white since some of mine didn't turn out that well I had to go out re shoot some but I also used some of my old photos from macro and still life which very few turned out good and I couldn't use the ones I turned in What I like about this photo shoot/photo edit is the cool design that it gives the photo for some reason it makes the photo sometimes look even better without any true color in the photo. And working with the clarity and contrast can make the photos turn out even better than before.
In this weeks photo assignment we as a class got to choose what photo assignment we wanted to challenge ourselves with our try out. In addition to that we also had to before we started create pollaroids which are a different way of photo merges photos but they way they are merged is as separate photos. Before After Before After Before After What I liked about these photo assignments was the fact that you could pick what you wanted and try it out yourself while challenging your photoshop skills. My first one I did was a lego brick sort of filter where i created this brick with the bevel tool which was hard to do. And then my second one I did a comic book strip piece where is looks like a comic to a extent which was more difficult than I thought. But for the comic book the only problem I had was that you had to buy the exact word design.

This was a good weekend to shoot outside because of the very nice weather. What I like about this assignment how many ways you can make the photo turn out with a lot of color or a lot of detail and other options also. With these the photo has a cool sort of unreal look sometimes making the photo sort of have a comic book look to it.
In this weeks assignment the class had to find or take photos of them and merge them together so they have a overlapped/blend feature to them. And also we had to as a class do the same thing but use our imagination of what are future was gonna be like with money and fancy cars and such. This is the Composite And this one is the future In this assignment I had a huge problem at the beginning of just figuring out how to even get the photos to look good over top of each other. And then later having a problem with the blending but after I found out how to do it, it was fun and I enjoyed it.
In this weeks photo assignment I tried for the first time light painting which is where you have a timer set where you can walk around making cool effects with lights or create effects. You have to have a object in the photo as you take them. In this assignment I had a problem where my camera could only reach 10 seconds causing me to have to quickly get up and try and think of something to do since I had no help. But in the end I really think I did well for the first time and I wish I had more time on my camera to take cooler photos.
