Gimp 6: Portrait

Assignment Description: We were assigned to take 2 portrait photos. One of which was taken in the studio set up in the library, and the second against a white background near a window using a bounce card to help light the darker side of the face.


What I Learned: During this assignment I learned a bounce card is a cheap way of taking portrait picture and reflecting the light. I also learned how to make white borders for photos using Gimp.

Photo Assignment 4: Motion

Assignment Description: This week I chose motion for my next assignment. I decided to do this, because while taking pictures for nature, Remy, my brother-in-laws dog was chasing me. I took a few pictures of him running and thought they looked great.

Summary: I took many pictures of Remy running around and jumping up to catch his toy. I then picked the best 11. There isn't much of a variety, but it was a last minute decision.

Gimp 5: School

Assignment Description: The 5th Gimp assignment is taking a picture anywhere in the school, and editing things to change the picture drastically. While doing this you also need to make it look realistic, that is the challenge.

Before:

I decided I wanted to have a sea monster coming out of the lake. In order to add a more dramatic effect I put a dark cloudy background and a man in the corner in a fetal position. The tree was very different to get around when placing the background in, so i tried getting rid of it by using the clone tool.

After:


What I Learned: I learned editing a picture is hard work, and takes creativity. In order to get the picture you want, you need to make sacrifices (The tree) or change your ideas.
