For this photo assignment we had to take 2 portrait pictures, one of the pictures is using window lighting and the other picture is using sandwich lighting using studio lights. The window lighted picture turned out with a blue tint, because of the blue windows, so I had to go into Gimp and change the color balance. The sandwich lighting was a little bit bright so i had to tone it down some. Then we had to put it on a black background and add white frames using Gimp.
This week I took black and white. It was easy because you can just find things with dark to light contrast and take pictures of them, then turn them into black and white. It was kind of hard however because not all turned out well in black and white and so they looked gray. You didn't have to worry about color, because you turned it all to some shade of black, white, or gray. My main picture is in my basement, so I had to use a bright lamp.

Taking panoramic photos really taught me a lot about photo taking, and photo editing. To take a panoramic photo you have to have your photos overlap quite a bit, and have all the pictures taken at the same settings without really moving the camera. Once the pictures were taken I put them on the computer and put them in Gimp. Editing it in Gimp taught me more about photo editing, layers, and blending. Getting the photos to line up was a challenge and it took awhile and a lot of patience to make them mesh well together.
This week I decided to take pictures of macro. This assignment was difficult because it was hard to decide what to take pictures of, and how close to the object I should be. It was fun though because I got to take pictures of random objects. I like this picture because it shows the detail in the bubbles of pop, and its not blurry.
