Scary Effects

My favorite was the alien because I felt like I put more effort into in. Also I learned more photoshop tricks. Some new tools we used were the clone stamp, and pen. The pen tool was difficult to use and get it how I wanted it.

Photographic Effects

The trick I liked more was Paint: black & white because you can choose and change anything to the color you want. I used this trick more. As you can see on my pictures, I changed things to different colors. I would like to explore more with Fix because I didn't use for the fact of not knowing all the steps. I didn't explore anything new because I was scared it was going to ruin my picture or change anything else.

Prop

Surprise

Artistic




Face

I feel like the picture I put more effort into it was my artistic photograph because I had the light how I wanted it and a good angle for the picture. I tried to find a place with light and not an ugly background for the artistic picture. The mood I thought I took is motivation. My surprise photo is unique but not different. Many people can capture something like mine. My prop picture didn't come out as good. I used a basketball as a prop. It would of been better if I were to capture the whole scene with the hoop.

Creative Contact Sheet

I have learned eight compositional tricks. The one I have enjoyed the most is Macro. It helps you seen more into the emphasis, and lets you capture things you never seen. My least favorite was Rule of Thirds because I seemed to struggle on where to face the camera and finding a good place. My favorite picture on my contact sheet is my Simplicity photo. I felt like I put more effort into it and found it simple to turn into black and white.

Compositional Trick #8 Fill in Flash

Compositional Trick #7 Drawing with Light

Lighting adds beauty and causes a dramatic effect. It also shows emotion.

Compositional Trick #6 Framing

Framing is anything that surrounds the emphasis in the photograph so the eye looks directly at the subject.

Compositional Trick #5 Extreme Angles

Angles are good to know because it gives us a better view of our emphasis from above or below them. I would have to say they are pretty good job because they show the emphasis from both below and above them. It gives us a good look on the color and texture.

Compositional Trick #4 Simplicity

Simplicity is nothing boring because you see things more perfect. So with a perfect picture you can turn into black and white without even changing levels. I think my pictures are effective.

Compositional Trick #3 Macro

Macro lets you get closer to smaller subjects. It magnifies the subject and the background tends to get blurry fast.

Compostional Trick #2 Leading Lines

Leading Lines are when they lead you to an empahsis or object. It takes you visually into the photograph.

Compositional Trick #1 Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds is when you focus on an objects position but outside of the center of your photograph.
