inner child

 i chose this photo because its pretty adorable haha.

i like this photo because she looks pretty funny

 in this photo aisha looks pretty wasted.

i chose this picture because it was a good one that i took.


my experience with working with these models were good. they were very good models and we always got along the whole time. we had a little bit of trouble finding out what to do about all the different variations to do for our photos.. but got it done eventually. our successes were that we took pretty good photos and we got done on time with time to spare too.
    my experience as a model was wierd .   i didnt really like the feeling of people taking wierd pictures of me . i was afraid that i would look bad in the photos.. being a model for photos can help me as a photographer because it gives me a sense of what to do or what other variations to do for the other poeples photos. i think to be a good photographer i need to have experience and need to be good at doing any kind of photos. im excited to do more portrait pictures so i can hopefully learn to be better at taking pictures . my concerns as we do more portrait pictures are that i will take bad pictures .

framing

the techniques i used to make this photo happen is, i got her to stand on the ledge on the side of the building so i could get a frame which looked like this.  i like this picture a lot just because of the frame and how i make this picture happen.

the technique i used in this specific photo was auto. it focused the good part of the picture for me . what i did to make this picture happen was to make someone put their hand in and take a picture making it look like a heart.

this picture would proably be my least favorite out of these three pictures . i kind of dont like the writing that was on the wall behind her. but i like how i used this frame .  i think it is a frame that most likely nobody else would have used .  so its more unique.

panning

 for this photo all i did was get at the right angle and in the right lighting to do it. i had to change the shutter speed a few times to get it right. some problems i had with taking this photo is getting the timing just right.

 for this photo all i did was get on the grass at a low angle to capture this photo. i had to change the iso a little bit because it was off . some problems i had with this photo was also getting the timing right and have it at the right angle and have the background blurry.

 for this photo,  what i had to do was just stand there while she walked around. i didnt have much of a problem with this photo but just how blurry and unfocused it was. so i had to take multiple pictures of this.

in this photo , i just stood there with a bunch of people while those people ran a lot. i just had a little bit of a problem getting the timing just right. so i just took a bunch of pictures until i got it right.

Float

 for this photo i was just trying to make him look like he was floating mysteriously. i had a lot of problems with this photo. i found that i didnt line up the photo right, so grass would show up when i tried to erase the chair he was standing on, but i changed it by moving the picture around a lot. it was hard to do this photo , because i wanted to do more to the photo. but i didnt have time to.

 for this photo , i wanted him to be in the air when i took this photo. i had a problem taking this photo because i had a hard time taking it at the right time. i wanted to make the background more bland so that he would stand out, but not enough time, and im not exactly sure how to do that yet.

this photo is probably my best. i tried to get it to look like he was doing the darth vader thing. i had one problem with this photo. trying to get the colors to look alright and to take the picture at the right time when he was in the air . also i had a problem with his face, he shouldve made a better expression. but overall it was pretty good.

creative controls

1. an aperture of 3.5 makes a wider hole for light to come in the lens.
2. an aperture of 11 lets more light in the camera to hit the image sensor.
3. an aperture of 11 keeps more of the foreground and background in focus.
4. 1/200 is a faster shutter speed.
5. 1/30 keeps the door in the camera open longer.
6. 1/200 stops action better.

 for this photo i think the colors are just right for this photo.

 for this photo, the colors are a little bit too dark. but over all , the picture is alright.

 this photo looks too washed out . i should use a lower aperutre.

 this photo is too light . the background is too washed out.

 in this picture , the background is kind of washed out but everything else seems to be alright.

in this picture, the picture looks a little too dark .  but the background got better than the last picture. its not as washed out.

 this picture is way too bright and washed out. it is really blury too.

this picture is good except for the background. part of it is super washed out. but everything else is pretty good :)

i think the background is a lot better in this photo than the last one. its not as washed on in this photo. so its a lot better photo to use.

 this picture is too blury and washed out all over , not just the background.

this photo is kind of dark. but its a good photo though. it just needs more light in the photo especially for the face and stuff.

this picture is alright. could be a little bit lighter but if you did do that , the background would probably be pretty washed out.





1. depth of field i think is how much of the image is in focus.
2. if it is cloudy out. so it will let more light in.
3. different shutter speeds can affect my images.  if you have for example 1/10 of a second while your outside it will be too washed out.

patterns

 this is one of my natural pattern photos. i like what i did in this photo. i grabbed a whole different color leaf so it would break the pattern. also i like the colors in this photo.

 this photo is of a man made pattern. I like this photo because this photo is different than what people normally think is a pattern.

 this picture is also man made . i like the pattern in this photo; how all the trash cans are patterned up by their color.

this photo is natural pattern . but also can be man made i guess. i like this photo mostly because of the colors that are brought out .


i think im doing alright with the picture taking, although , i seem to not take enough photos . but overall the pictures are pretty good.  with our next project , my goal is to get a better variaty of pictures, and to take more than enough so i can pick which ones are the overall best. i think mr. peterson can help me succeed in this class by being on top of me for assignments, or reminding me about stuff, because i seem to forget sometimes. although it is not his responsibility for nagging me for that stuff,  and other thing he could possibly do is give us some things to do for extra credit for the people who want to get better grades.

photoshop tutorials

 this picture is of using the vintage affect. basically all i did was make a few layers and changed the colors in the photo. and paste a background picture to make it look more vintage like. i think this was probably the easiest effect out of all the ones we had to do . my favorite part of this image is just the picture itself .. i managed to get a picture of the teacher . also i like the colors in this photo and i like the way it looks.

 this is my half human half animal face. i used my picture (which looks horrible by the way) and i got a picture of a lion and pasted it one there , and with photoshop , i lined up the two pictures and used the brush to erase part of the face so it becomes half human half animal. i think this was one of the harder ones out of all of the effects. my favorite part of this picture is the was it looks and the outcome of this one.

 this picture is one i morphed my face into . i pasted my face onto the animals and started messing with the opasity and erasing the lips and eyes to reveal my own.  this was probably the hardest to figure out to do.  my favorite part of this picture is the outcome of it , and i like the bear picture that i used.

this picture is half animal half human. as i said in the previous photo of half human half animal, i pasted the picture of the animal and changed the opasity and used the mask to erase part of the animal so it would be only half. this was the most fun effect . i mostly like the colors and the outcome of this photo.

this picture is the drawing effect. on this photo , all i had to do is , change the filters and other stuff. i like this effect just because its cool .

this picture is also of the drawing effect. as i said before , all i did was paste the picture, and change some filters on it . this one i made of the drawing effect is probably my least favorite out of all the ones i did.

mythis picture is of the vintage effect. all i had to do was add a few layers and changed some colors in the photo, also i pasted a background to make it look old and more vintage like. this picture is one  of my favorites.

thsi photo is also of the drawing effect. as i said before, all i had to do was change the filters and add some layers and that about all. it was pretty easy .  this picture i made was probably my favorite of the drawing effects.

this photo is me as a fox. what i did was get the picture , paste it , move my face around to fit the picture and line up. this is my favorite of of this animal effect. this one was probably my most successful picture.

this photo is me as an animal. whar i did was paster my face and mess with the opasity and change a couple other things. this was probably my worst edit out of all of mine. i didnt have much time so that is why this picture doesnt look as good as it couldve been.
