Digital Photo

The best shot of this assignment is probably the first blurred motion because of the way it captured the whole body. My weakest shot was the stop motion pictures because of the way they came out. The weakest image can be improved by doing different motions to get a better shoot. I used Photoshop and got to change around my brightness and contrast. I was able to meet the goals of the project by using lights and movement to create different images. The easy part of this assignment was editing and doing blurred motion. The stop motion was difficult because i couldn't get a perfect stop motion as they were jumping. I would do a different thing to get better stop motion pictures. I would give myself a 8/10 because to think i tried my hardest on each picture.

The best shot of this assignment is probably the water bottle one because it captured a cool angle and made a cool blur on the background. The weakest shot is the second one because it doesn't show as much creativity and the light shows in the back of it. The weakest shot can be improved in future shots by adding more detail to it. I used Photoshop and used exposure, contrast, and levels. I was able to meet the goals of this project by using the outside sun lighting to create good pictures. The hardest part was taking the pictures and finding a good angle and shot. If i could get this assignment again i would go to different locations to help get the blur effect. I would give myself a 5/10 because i think i can try harder.

The best shot of this assignment is probably the one when the sheet is being grabbed because it captured a cool angle and made a cool effect with the sheet. The weakest shot is the first one because it doesn't show as much blur and depth. The weakest shot can be improved in future shots by adding more depth in the photo. I used Photoshop and used exposure, contrast, and levels. I was able to meet the goals of this project by using a sheet and a nice back light. The easy part was taking the actual pictures. The hardest part was editing the pictures and choosing from which ones to post. If i could get this assignment again i would get more things to put behind the sheet. I would give myself a 8/10 because i think i tried my hardest with taking pictures.

extra one!

I think the best shot of this assignment is the one of the plants because the texture of it shows the best. You can tell its rigid and bumpy on its leaves. The weakest picture is probably the slushy one because it kind of shows texture but the picture is a rough quality. Better lighting can help my shot. I used Photoshop and used adjustments in lighting, levels and exposure. I was able to meet the goals of this project by taking a lot of pictures and having a lot of options to choose from. This assignment was easier because i knew exactly what to take pictures of and what type of textures to look for. The difficult part of this assignment was explaining each picture. I would choose another type of texture completely separate from the ones i took now. I would give myself a 9/10 because there is always room for improvement but overall i think i did a good job finding different textures.

This cup shows a smoother texture. The cup's polished, flat and shiny.   The slushy's texture is hard and course.   These flowers show a ridged texture. Some leaves look shiny at different parts where the light hits it. 

He is a masters in Landscape photography. He brings out texture by making the photos black, gray and white. I think his work is nice and really well done but its a little boring because of the grays and blacks. The colors are so dark which makes it less interesting for me to look at.

1.) My best shot is the one with the rose in the lighting. I feel like it captured a good lighting through the clear glass vase. 2.)The weakest shot was the blue light against the white wall. I feel like everything was so dark and dint have any liveliness in it. 3.) My weakest shot can be improved by fixing the lighting situation and rearrange the position of it. 4.) On some i used snapshot and on others i used Photoshop. I used lighting and exposure in Photoshop and in snap seed i used different filters and depth. 5.) I was able to meet my goal by taking a lot of pictures and spending a lot of days on it. 6.) The easy part of the assignment was taking the actual pictures because it wasn't hard to take shots. 7.) The hardest part was editing the pictures because finding a good level of adjustments was confusing at first. 8.) If i could do this project over again i would take a lot more better shots of different thing. 9.) i would give myself a 6 because i feel like i could ...

1.) This shows simplicity because all dead space is eliminated and it fills the frame. 2.) This shows side lighting. 3.) This shows the rule of thirds because its placed positioned at the right points. 4.) This avoids bulls eye.  5.) This shows the foreground emphasized because i place the horizon in the upper ground. 6.) This photo emphasizes height and distance because I put the horizon in lower frame.  7.) This shows leading lines because of the background has the fence with straight lines. 8.) This shows multiple items in one picture.

What is the difference between a Snap Shot and Artistic Photography? A snap shot is a quick shot taken without meaning to take photos and artistic photography is like going out and taking a photo with depth and filters.

What do you think makes this photo part of Time Magazine's 100 Best Collection? I think the willingness this person has in this photo is important for people to see. He jumped from the burning building accepting what was going to happen to him. He knew his chances were low of surviving in the building so when he jumped he jumped with knowledge, it shows him gracefully falling from the sky accepting fate.
