Architecture

This project is to show architectural features of a building or structure and make them stand out and show their uniqueness. For this assignment I took a photo of my fireplace  because it is very dramatic and is very unique compared to other fireplaces.







During this assignment i learned many things that i never knew before including how to recognize and appreciate unique architectural features that i never thought about before.  I also learned the creativity that people apply to be different than everyone else.

Puns

This assignment was to describe a phrase or pun with words and also to make interesting, but make it a real definition of the pun or phrase.




During this assignment i learned lots including how to be much more creative with the photos that i create because this project forced me to leave my comfort zone and detail the photos much different than what i am used to. I also learned many puns are humerous and make more sense after putting pictures with them

Portrait

This assignment was to take a portrait of a person in a studio with lights in specific locations to light up the subject to its best ability. We also had to take another portrait near a window using the natural light from outside to light up the subject's face.





During this assignment I learned a lot of preparation and planning is necessary to take a quality photo unlike what i thought before where you can take a quick photo, then your done. I also learned  the ability to show somebodies personality and happiness in a still photo

Gimp 4 :School Content

This project was to capture a image of the school and make it look like a different place. some examples are making the hall way a race track or what i did which was making the road a river.


During this project i learned that a picture can be changed drastically from its original photo. I also realized how interesting you could make a photo look just by changing simple things on it.
