6/11/2018 0 Comments Final ReflectionThis is my second year at Saline High School, and my second year focusing on photography. I have picked up new techniques not only in digital imaging, but also enhancing my skill in darkroom photography. I now comfortably work with my SLR in manual mode, which makes my images all that much more original. I picked up some new favorites and things I dislike a lot also in photography. My favorite type of photographing would definitely be of animals, mainly because the photo shoots are so fun working with all the dogs I worked with. I also enjoy nature, people (sometimes) and light painting wasn't terrible this trimester. There was no photo taking assignment that I really dislike, I had more problems in photoshop instead. I also really enjoyed and disliked somethings in photoshop. I really enjoyed collages, some HDR, and even some of the tutorials we did. I HATED PANOGRAPHICS. They were the most useless project we ever did, and it not only wasted my time, but also triggered my OCD. I absolutely hated it. I did in fact learn in this class, how to succeed in photoshop in some ways, with normal panoramics, tutorials, merging HDRs, and multiple me style images. I really enjoyed this class as an overall and I will definitely miss it. I loved this class, it made my day everyday at 3rd hour. Don't worry, I'll be sure to drop in. Thus ending my photo career, I am signing off. It was a good class OD, see ya on the flip.

6/7/2018 0 Comments Choice AssignmentFor this assignment, we got to choose what we did in class this week, but we were supposed to incorporate photo shop and new images in. I chose to do panographics, HDR shots, and practice some framing just to make sure I felt pretty good for the final exam photo shop portion. I do not mind panographics as much anymore. I stopped caring about it being completely perfect and it made it 10 times easier. I don't mind HDR shots and the gallery frame isn't too hard, just remembering all of the steps is. I definitely had no problems with this assignment, I just wish we had more time so we could do several assignments that I enjoyed.
6/4/2018 0 Comments Photo 8, NatureFor our final photo assignment, I decided to take pictures of nature. This is a simple assignment as we are surrounded by nature throughout the world. I chose to do nature for this assignment because in digital photography 1 my first assignment was nature so I decided to end with nature in digital photography 2. I chose to do this because it really shows how my photography skills have improved. I am a lot better at actually taking the pictures, and photo-shopping them to how I want them. I really enjoyed this class and the photo assignments, and hopefully that sticks with me and I somewhat further my photography.
5/31/2018 0 Comments Duplicate AdsFor this assignment we had to duplicate advertisements. I chose both of my ads off of the internet. Neither were very challenging so I did 2. I really liked this assignment. It was not too hard, but it took time and precision to get it right. I took a lot of time to make sure that everything was as close to the original as I could get it, and the amount of control I had made this enjoyable. I would definitely do this again, if it were reassigned.
5/24/2018 0 Comments Photo 7, Still LifeFor this assignment I captured still life, which is really any inanimate object that looked good in a picture. I worked indoors again, trying to improve on using manual focus. I had no specific idea for images other than things sitting on shelves, and along those lines. I enjoyed this assignment. It is a lot easier than capturing moving objects. I did struggle with the glasses photo because the camera would sometimes focus on the background instead of the subject. I managed to work with it though, and I think I have made improvements with manual settings.
5/21/2018 0 Comments PortraitFor this assignment, we had to take pictures of other people. 3 of the portraits had to be in the studio in the hornet hub, and 2 had to be outside of there. This assignment is pretty simple and somewhat enjoyable. Studio PortraitNon-Studio PortraitThis assignment was 50/50 on challenging. The outside of the studio ones were very easy and not hard to set up. The studio was more challenging because we struggled to set up the lighting when we got there, so some turned out dark. This was an overall pretty simple assignment, that I think just added on as a good extra practice. I definitely need to continue working with manual settings, especially in the studio.
5/18/2018 1 Comment Photo 6, Animal 2For this assignment, I am doing animal again. This time I took pictures of my friends dog and with indoor lighting. This assignment, I got to work with a new camera so adjustments had to be made throughout the assignment. I had fun with this assignment. I worked with an SLR camera this time, and it was surprisingly easy to use. I tried to use different lighting, but natural lighting was the easiest to work with. Tiffany, the dog, is a pretty lazy animal so she was a very still subject. I like doing animal shots because they are easy to capture, and I love spending time with animals.
5/17/2018 1 Comment Self Portrait/ EnvironmentalFor this assignment, we had to take 4 self portraits showing somewhat who we are, and 2 environmental photos showing someone in their 'natural habitat'. The images I took, I tried to exhibit personality in all of them along with some photoshop. self portraitenvironmentalThis assignment was 50/50 for me. I did not enjoy the self portrait, because I don't find it easy to portray myself. I did enjoy environmental though, because placing someone in their environment highlights their personality without words. I think this was a good warm-up going into our next assignment of portrait, but I would not redo self portrait.
5/14/2018 0 Comments Photoshop TutorialsFor this assignment, we had to chose a couple of different tutorials to try on photoshop. I did a range of easy to hard. I liked doing this assignment. While tutorials like the enchanted forest were harder to follow and complete, I was able to finish all of mine and really liked the outcome. While some steps were challenging, I think this is an important assignment to complete, because I want to be familiar with photoshop by the end of the class.
5/4/2018 0 Comments PanographicsFor this assignment we had to make 5 panographics, at least 2 off campus. The two with my name on them are the ones I turned in for a grade. I hated this assignment. It wasn't that hard of a task to perform, but it looks awful. This is the worst photoshop assignment we could possibly have done. After finishing this assignment, I was told I could do extra credit instead of doing this, so it was a waste of my time and hurt my head.
