Visual Dictionary & Visual Puns Assignment

Visual Dictionary

Assignment: Pick a word, show it's definition, and use pictures to represent the word.

Summary: Fairly easy assignment, but finding a perfect word to use was a bit of a struggle.


Visual Puns 

Assignment: Come up with, or find a pun, and use pictures for people to figure it out!

Summary: These puns are fairly easy, but it was pretty to hard to come up with something that others were not doing.

Photo Assignment #7: Architecture

For my last assignment in my Digital Photography class, I decided to focus on the subject of architecture. On Saturday, I went into Ann Arbor, Michigan and got some pictures downtown. Enjoy!

ISO: 64

Shutter Speed: 1/400

Summary: I didn't get as good pictures as I would of liked to, but my camera unexpectedly died. It was a fairly easy assignment, but was also a bit tricky since I usually do not focus on architecture.

Editing: **On the "best photo," I made the image to be a color pop edit. Besides that, no editing was used. 

Photoshop: Double Exposure Edit

I've always loved the "double exposure" types of edits, so I decided to give it a try myself. Enjoy!

Summary: It took me a while to figure out what I exactly wanted to do on photoshop, but I believe this turned out nicely. This assignment really helped me get used to photoshop since it was mainly all on our own. I learned a lot more about how to use and edit each layer in Adobe Photoshop.

Photo Assignment #6: Black & White

This week my subject was on Black and White photos. I used images I had previously taken and edited them to be mainly Black and White while a few of the pictures still have a pop of color. Enjoy!

Best Photo: Flowers
ISO: 64
Aperture: f/3.1
Shutter Speed: 1/160

Editing: **Black & White filter added, and for some pictures color-pop

Photoshop - School Context Assignment

In this assignment, we were supposed to take a picture in, or around the school campus. With this picture, we were to use photoshop to transform the scene. For my piece, I took a picture of the lake in front of the High School, and edited the picture to become a winter wonderland. This photoshop included pictures found online of Snow, Mountains, and Rudolf Characters. I decided to use this winter theme since it is now November and winter is approaching.

Summary: This assignment really gave me time to get used to adobe Photoshop, and to learn how to use it well. 

Photo Assignment #5: Open Subject - Michigan State VS Michigan Game 2016

I decided to use my Open Assignment this week to focus on the pictures I took at Michigan VS Michigan State Game this last Saturday. I had tickets all the way at the top of the stadium in the "balcony" or referenced as "nosebleed seats," but luckily I was able to get some fairly decent pictures by zooming in quite far. There is some digital noise, but please remember how far away my seats were. Considering this, the pictures I was able to get are a very good quality.

Without zooming, this was my view:

Summary: This assignment was a lot of fun! I had some trouble keeping the camera focused when zooming, but due to where I was sitting these turned out fairly good! There is some digital noise.

Editing: ** Contrast boost, cropping, brightness 

Portrait Assignment

This assignment was for us to take a portrait of someone in a stdio with specific lighting, and another portrait of the person, but this time near a window so you have a natural lighting effect.

This assignment gave us all a feel for another type of photography, using two different types of lighting. This wasn't my favorite assignment, but it was fairly easy.
