Famous Photography Project

I learned that my photographers style of his photos and what he focused on in his photos helped define the images he took. Based on angle and color it shows how it changed and how it affected the mood of his photos. It really showed me that even little things can affect a photo.

Every Twenty Steps

During this project I learned that photography is more than just a simple snap of a camera and boom and perfect picture. Photography is more about angles and lighting with shadows and lines. All these factors play big roles in the mood and overall feeling of the picture. This project also taught me that there is always something to photograph it just depends on the angles and shadows and lines. Which shows that there is a sort of beauty in everything that can be captured. I also think my photos turned out pretty good. I enjoyed playing with angles and shadows in this project.

Best Leading Lines

I learned that during this assignment I can use leading lines to guide the viewer towards something of importance in the photo. I also learned that I can use photoshop to help change the mood and feel of my photo. Overall this was a good assignment in learning how to use more angles and line to help dictate the photos. My favorite photo ended up being this one with a nature path. I like how the nature is grown over the bridge and how the path seem s to go on for a while with the leading lines keeping the viewer interested.

3D Form Photo

During this assignment I learned that there is 3D images are harder to take images. Plus it is another aspect because you have to add the right angle to make the image more 3D. I think assignment was one of the easier ones yet and allowed more freedom. My favorite photo was the pinecone one because of the 3D geometric style of the pinecone. And the way it fans out in the image.

Best Man Made Texture Photo

Overall I thought this was a very fun project. I liked how you had to get up close to the object and change angles to play with the overall mood and feel of the pictures. I overall liked this project and think it was a nice change of pace from far away pictures to upclose. Overall my favorite picture was the one with the rope. I liked this picture because it shows great detail and also the sun really adds to the overall mood and feel of the picture as it shines off the rope. I also think photoshop made the image even better so I was very happy with how it turned out.

Nature Texture

My favorite photo was this one with the bug because of how much detail i managed to capture even though the bug kept moving. Also I think the image got even better after editing it so I am very happy with the way this photo turned out. Overall this project taught me that there is texture in photos but sometimes it is harder to find texture but with an angle change to get a new pov it will be easier to capture it. I enjoyed both the texture projects a lot and I am looking forward to future projects.

Color in Photography

I overall enjoyed this project it was fun focusing on the color of images other than angles or perspectives. My favorite photo was this acorn because of the color that is on the inside of it. I think it is a nice shade of red and pink. Also only the part that was on the crack was red. The rest was a nice tan which I thought was quite. Overall I really enjoyed this project and I am looking forward to future projects.

Birds Eye View Photo

brockk7 — 2023-12-20 13:48:46 UTC

This was my favorite birds eye view photo. I like this one because of the colors in this picture of the blue and whites and also how the angle is just high enough to capture the whole subject. I enjoyed this project and learned about how an above angle can impact the vibe of any picture.

Pop Art

brockk7 — 2023-12-20 13:49:59 UTC

Overall I thought this was a pretty simple and easy project. I was very pleased with my results as I thought it might be more complicated at first. Overall this was my favorite collage as I think it turned out better than the other one all thought I forgot to crop my pictures before hand. But I like how I experimented more on this collage and also tried to tie some themes in. In the end this was a fun project and I am hoping we do more projects like this one.

Hockney Jointers

brockk7 — 2023-12-20 13:51:32 UTC

I learned that David Hockney used a unique style of art in the way that he collaged his photos together. I also learned that he must have been pretty determined because it would take a lot longer to collage these photos by hand vs using photoshop. I kinda enjoy his work it is unique however it is kinda hard for my eyes to follow. I didn’t have any struggles with the project and it was pretty straight threw. I think this project could be taught to future classes because it isn't super hard or time consuming. Overall this was a pretty easy and overall a breeze.

Fantasy World

brockk7 — 2023-12-20 13:53:01 UTC

Overall I enjoyed this project it wasn’t too hard and it allowed me to use some basic photoshop skills. However it was stressful for me because I missed tuesday and was stressing to keep up. But I ending up getting it done in the end and I am looking forward to completing future projects like this.

DIY Photoshop Week

brockk7 — 2023-12-20 13:54:15 UTC

This project taught me about how to make glow effect and the blending effect between layers which I previously didn’t know how to do before hand. Overall I learned quite a bit from this project and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the fact that this project allowed me to choose what photo I wanted to edit and also what effect I wanted to use. Overall a great project and I was very pleased with my results. I am looking forward to another project similar to this.

Reflection

brockk7 — 2023-12-20 14:01:57 UTC

Overall I thought this was great class. I learned how to photoshop quite a bit as we used it in class frequently. I also learned how to take a proper photo with the inclusion of lighting and where to position the object or person in the frame to get the proper effects. Overall this was a great class that helped me learn about photography. I hope that anyone thinking about taking this class in the future does because it was overall pretty fun.
