Gimp Car Editing

For this assignment I used gimp to retouch a car. I had to use different techniques to accomplish this task. What I learned from this was how to use effects like cloning, so I could take out the shiny reflections on the car. I also learned how to play with the color levels and black out a background.

Assignment 1 - Architecture

For this first assignment I chose to do architecture. I decided to pick this project because there are a lot of different things I could take pictures of that would fit in this category. It is good we have a school with modern and interesting windows, stairs, and doors because this is where all of my photos came from.

ISO: 800
Fstop: 7.1
Exposure:  1/25 sec




From doing my first assignment I learned it is much more difficult than you might think to get a good picture. You really have to work and set the settings so the photo will look more enhanced. Trying to get the right picture takes a lot of time and effort and I became more familiar with the camera than  I was before.

Pop Art Gimp Assignment 1

For this assignment I used gimp to make a pop art photo of myself. I first used photobooth to take a picture of myself, and then I went on gimp and edited it.

For this assignment I learned how to use gimp and make a pop art photo. I was not familiar with this program but found it very easy. I learned how to crop, resize, enhance colors, and make it black and white.

Composition Assignment

For this assignment, we had to research 11 different elements of composition. I went around in the school and took pictures of things I thought best represented these elements.
Rule of Thirds = "Sean against whiteboard"
Pattern = "windows in commons"
Symmetry = "ceiling of hallway"
Texture = "wall of stones"
Depth of Field = "Abraham on floor"
Lines = "wall with folds"
Framing = "Abraham behind door"
Perspective = "ceiling tile lifted up"
Space = "Car on road"
Balance = "shoes on stairs"
Color = "fire alarm"


From this assignment, I learned how to use the camera. My camera at home isn't as complicated as this one but I caught on very quickly and it is very easy to use. Another thing I leaned how to use was Blogger because this is my first blog post I ever made and have never tried blogging before.
