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.

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.

Gimp 4: Motion Demo

Photo Assignment 1: Macro
Assignment Description: Each week we are given a choice as to which assignment we would like to take on. For the first week, I decided to pick macro. Macro, is a type of subject where things are close up and depict things not usually seen at first glance.

Technical Data:
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 400
Summary: For my macro assignment, I chose to mostly take pictures of plants. I also used Hershey kisses, a fish, and the moon. My idea was to show parts that many people don't notice. I believe my pictures turned out very presentable and definitely fulfilled my assignment expectations.

Composition
Assignment Description:
The objective of this assignment was using different elements of composition to capture a effective image. We were given the elements and told to take pictures that show the certain element off.
Photo Description:
Framing = Tree between Bars
Texture = Mop
Pattern = Lights
Rule of Thirds = Lamp against Window
Symmetry = Lunch Table
Perspective = View down Window
Lines = Brick Walls
Balance = Symmetric Landscape
Space = Trashcan
Depth of Field = Doors
Color = Flower
What i Learned:
During this assignment i learned quite a few things. For starters, i learned how to create a blog, and upload a slide show onto the blog, but those are just technical. Based on the topic of composition i learned many pictures have more than just one element, side lighting is key in a texture picture, and lines help draw attention to a subject. All this types of photos are used to make the subject more noticable and pop out more than the rest of the scene.
