assignment #8 NATURE :)

For my last assignment I chose to take nature pictures because it was so nice out over the weekend. I went into my backyard and tried to capture the effect of the sun. I like the one I picked as my best picture because I just think it's pretty :).

ISO: 100

Aperture: f5

Shutter Speed: 1/1740 sec.

here are some more pictures that I took:

assignment #7 architecture.

For this assignment I chose to take pictures of my house. One thing I really like about my house are the lights and our ceilings. Since it was late at night I decided to take pictures of our ceilings. I like the one I picked as my favorite picture because it shows the contrast between light and dark.


ISO: 100
Aperture: f3.3

VISIONAL DICTIONARY

For this GIMP assignment we had to take multiple pictures and put them together to create a visual definition of a word. The word I picked was "ululate" and its definition is: howl or wail as an expression of strong emotion, typically grief. I used pictures of a women who is grieving in front of a tomb stone. Also I used a picture of a wolf to represent howling. Then I added a broken heart and some tears and sad smiley faces. This is how it turned out:

assignment #6 PORTRAIT ;)

For this assignment I chose to take portrait pictures of my sister. I put her in front of a plain white and a brown wall in our house so the background wouldn't be distracting. I tried to take pictures of her laughing cause she's a very funny person. I like the one I chose for my best picture because it brings out her smile and her pretty-ness :).

ISO: 100
Aperture: f3.3
Shutter speed: 1/8 sec.

PUNS

For this assignment we had to create three different visual puns by putting two or more pictures together and editing them in GIMP. My three visual puns are: The apple of my eye, Starbucks, and Palmtree.

assignment #5 STILL LIFE ;)

For this photo assignment I chose to take pictures for Still Life. I was at home and just looked for things that I could use, and I found this baseball. I put it in front of a black background (our TV), then I edited it a little bit in photoshop and GIMP. I chose this one as my best picture because I like the reflection.

ISO: 100
Aperture: f3.3
Shutter Speed: 1/32 sec.

PANORAMIC

For this GIMP assignment we had to take three pictures. We had to edit them and put them together so it looks like one picture instead of three separate ones. We used different techniques for example the move-tool, the eraser-tool and the perspective tool. I chose the gym to take pictures which was kind of a bad idea since there were so many different lines incorporated into the ceiling, and it was hard to line them all up and make it look like it was one picture.
