Gimp Photo Editing!

This is a picture taken at an auto show. When I started out with the picture there was a person in the background and lights and words, and reflections from lights all over the hood of the car. Using gimp I edited the person, lights reflections and words out. I also darkened the windshield, and the color overall. This assignment helped me learn more about photo editing and how to use gimp. I have learned more about how to edit photos to make them look better, and how to use gimp.

Photo Assignment Animals

This was the first photo assignment, I did it on Animals. I took pictures, of my dogs. But they weren't cooperating, so i went out to take pictures of wild animals. I needed to take pictures on a schedule, so i had to go out in the pouring rain, to take pictures of Geese, swans, and birds. It gave me lots of photo-taking experience, and i learned what kind of pictures turn out and what doesn't. I am excited to take more pictures, because i feel more confident about my picture taking skills.

Gimp assignment 1

This assignment taught me the basics on using gimp, photo editing. We used tools to take a basic portrait and turn it into pop art. Taking the picture, and making it so there were 4 pictures each picture the same, just edited to make them each different colors.

Composition Project

This assignment was to help us learn different picture taking techniques, and the basic skills of using our camera. I learned more about using a camera, and how to take some better pictures. We had to take pictures using Color, thirds, depth of field, texture, pattern, balance, lines, perspective, space, framing, symmetry. We went around the school trying to find pictures using these, some were harder to find then others.

Space= "gum wrapper on the floor"
color= "papers"
perspective= "girl looking up"
lines= "pool walls"
texture= "vent"
depth of field = "shoe"
rule of thirds = "girl thinking"
symmetry = "staircase"
pattern= "carpet"
balance= "girl outside"
framing= "door"

I learned more about using camera, and different picture taking techniques, such as rule of thirds. I also learent how to download pictures onto the computer and edit them on photoshop.com, and then putting them on a blog. This project helped my photo taking skills and also how to do things with the photo on the computer, making the pictures better.
