Famous Photography Project

I learned that photography captures precious moments to preserve a special time, forever. This project went well for me, and because I live with a toddler it was relatively easy to capture a photo like Anne Geddes.

Every 20 Steps

I enjoyed getting capture different pieces of nature and getting to see just how much timing and angles matter. I chose this picture as my favorite because I really love sunrises. I also just really like how this moment was captured and how it looked in the end.

While I enjoyed doing this project I did find that sometimes it was difficult to find the right moment to take a picture. It was also difficult to find scenes that fell into the right category of what I was looking for. Getting the right angle to make them look the way I wanted them to for this project.

3D Forms

Overall, I enjoyed this project. I think it was fun getting to use my everyday surrounding to find and create interesting and unique photos. I don’t think it was too difficult to actually find 3D objects but sometimes it was kind of difficult to find things that looked interesting while also being the type of photo I was looking for.

Texture

I really enjoyed doing this project. At first I started to feel like it would be kind of difficult to find objects that would make good photos. It did up being easier than I thought. It was also fun to really pay attention and find different textures on things we might not have realized before.

Bird's Eye View

oconnor43 — 2023-12-19 13:59:46 UTC

I think that this was an easier project to do, compared some of the other ones we have done in the past. I also learned that in order to really achieve the Bird's Eye View you have get closer to the subject.

Pop Art Project

This project was pretty easy to complete. It was also fun to do once I got the hang of it. The only thing that was difficult was accidentally clicking the black lines and turning the entire picture one color, but that's an easy fix too.

Hockney Joiners

I learned that David Hockney had a very creative idea for photography. I think he had a very interesting idea and did a good job on making it come to life in his photos. I do like his style of art because I think it creates very cool and unique pieces of art. I didn’t find this project very difficult at all, I think it was pretty easy and it was a quick process overall.

Fantasy World

Overall, I really enjoyed this project. I think it was pretty easy once I figured out what I wanted to do. I also think this was a faster project to finish. Making the images all flow together was a little difficult to get right, but it’s an easy process to fix. It was also a little tedious try to get all of the smaller pictures in the right spot, when something else would move instead, but it didn’t take too long to fix, either.

DIY Photoshop Week

oconnor43 — 2023-12-19 14:13:01 UTC

I learned a lot about using photoshop this week. Using different tutorials allowed me to discover new things I had never used before. The glitch skill is my favorite because I think it turned out the best. I also found out that doing the glitch effect is easier than I was expecting it to be.
