I chose to take pictures that showed movement for the past week. This was the hardest theme that I had to shoot so far and I had a lot of trouble getting pictures that showed movement but were still focused on an object. I ended up taking loads of pictures that were to blurry to use and i only got a few that would work. The picture I'm turning in is a picture of me riding on my rip stick.

I chose to take pictures of patterns, shapes, and textures for this assignment. I took most of my pictures indoors and found some cool patterns and shapes in my house that I never noticed before. The picture Im turning in is a picture of a matchbox on a table in my kitchen.

This is a picture of my first assignment using Gimp. I learned how to use a few basic functions that Gimp has to offer. Gimp is a great tool for editing pictures and I hope to learn more about this program in my future assignments.

I chose to take pictures of an event for my second photo assignment. I drove all the way to Portage the cheer on my cross country team and to take pictures for this assignment. It was very cold outside and my camera battery kept shutting down so I had to take it out and warm it up with my hands a lot. The picture I chose to turn in for a grade is a picture of Andrew Harper running the fastest time he ever has in a 5k race.

Nature_photo assignment 1

For my first photo assignment I chose to take pictures of nature. most of the pictures I took were in the woods around my house. My favorite picture that I took and the one Im turning in for a grade is a picture of wild grape vines. I took this picture in the rain thinking that it would turn out to be a bad picture, but it turned out to be one of my best.

For my assignment coming up on Wednesday I will be taking some pictures of nature. I already have pictures taken from last Friday and I will continue to take some until the due date. I had trouble with the weather last weekend and only managed to get a few pictures so hopefully the weather will be better on my last two days. Here are some pictures that i will use as inspiration:

Composition Assignment #2

The composition assignment number two required the class to take five new pictures of five new elements in photography. They where: space, color, perspective, balance and framing. My favorite pictures I took where framing, color, and space. For color I took a picture of a bright red coat, for framing i took a picture of the schools architecture, and i took a picture of a few thumb tacks on a wall for space. I learned five new ways to improve my photos and learned how to use these when out in the field.
