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.

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.

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.
Best photo: Outside the Spartan Stadium before the Big Game
ISO: 64
Aperture: f/3.1
Shutter Speed: 1/500
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.

Photo Assignment #4: Food
The subject this week was "Food." I've noticed many photographers focus a majority of their pictures around this subject and that it's gotten quite popular, so I decided to give it a try myself. I decided to take pictures focusing on some fall-themed cupcakes, as well as chocolate chip cookies. Enjoy!
Best Photo: Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
ISO: 100
Aperture: f/3.6
Shutter: 1/60

Photo Assignment #3: Animal
For this week, the subject I used to focus on for my pictures was Animals. I have been really excited to use this as a subject because I currently have four dogs. Three of these dogs are one year old puppies while the other is turning ten soon. I was originally going to do this subject a couple weeks ago but my dogs had recently gotten a haircut, so I decided to wait for their hair to grow a bit more since it was cut so short it looks ridiculous.
Best Photo: A close-up of Corey
ISO: 200
Aperture: f/5.4
Shutter: 1/80

Summary: I had a lot of fun with this assignment because I really do love my dogs, but it was a bit hard to get specific pictures of them because they were full of energy.
Editing: ** On the "Best Photo" I brightened the picture.

Photoshop Assignment - Car Photo
For this assignment we were to edit a specific car photo that a former student at Saline had taken. We were to edit this picture in specific ways as the "demo" showed us to. This was for us to get more familiar with Adobe Photoshop.

I learned some more of the important basics of using Photoshop, like how to "color" and use the "history brush." These techniques really help to edit photos and make them look cleaner and nicer.

Photo Assignment #2: Event
This week, the subject I chose was on an event. This event had to be something special; something that usually does not occur. I chose this subject specifically for this week because our homecoming was taking place. Being a Sophomore, I've been to homecoming before and it is definitely my favorite part of the whole school year. Since homecoming is such a special night to me, why wouldn't I decide to take pictures leading up to the actual event?
Best Photo: Just moments after I was given my corsage
ISO: 200
Aperture: f/3.1
Shutter: 1/30

Summary: I had a lot of fun with shooting for this specific event. I struggled a bit with finding things to take picture of, but I believe I imaged to accomplish what I really wanted. The quality for these photos are not as good as I'd like them to be, as I wish I could go back and fix this.
Editing: **There was some cropping, contrast boost, and coloring change (this is obvious on the "best photo".
