For this assignment, I chose to do macro. In this project, I tried to take macro photographs that would show the texture of the object as well as the details of the subject. Some of the photographs had to retaken multiple times because they picture did not turn out how I wanted them. While shooting these pictures I learned that lighting can affect the way texture is portrayed in an image. My best photograph is of a painting hanging in my house that was painted by my Great-Great Uncle. This picture emphasizes the texture of the canvas and the brush strokes made creating the painting.

Assignment DescriptionToday we learned about retouching photographs in Adobe Photoshop. We practiced with a picture of a car taken by a past student (left). The task was to retouch the car by removing some of the lights and getting rid of the extra activity happening in the background (right).
This week I did still life photography. For this project, I went around trying to find objects that I could take interesting photographs of. There were several things that looked great around my house, many of the pictures that I took, did not look as good as the actual object. All of the photos I took were sorted through until 10 photo were found that were worthy of the project. During this project I learned different ways to light a subject and a room to create a different effect. I also learned how to hid mine and the camera's shadow. My best picture is of one of my dad's many old cameras that he collects. I liked this picture because the light was shining so where the bulb would have been and well as across the lens, giving the camera an interesting look. Best PhotoThis week's photo assignment I chose architecture because I have always found it interesting no matter where I go. For this assignment, I visited University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University to take picture of the buildings with interesting architecture. Although it was cold outside and I could barely feel my fingers, the sun was shining, allowing me to take multiple shots of the architecture with great lighting. During this assignment, I learned to adjust the settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) of the camera as well as the position of the camera, relative to the subject, to create a photograph which portrayed the aspects of the architecture. The best picture I took for this project was the back of a building near EMU. I think this picture is my best because it shows the rugged character of the building through the different back porches and the condition they are in. Overall, my pictures showed the interesting aspects of the architecture, both old and new. Best PhotoAssignment DescriptionToday I was introduced to Adobe Photoshop by creating an Andy Warhol inspired Pop Art. By creating the Pop Art, I became familiar with some of the tools that I can use within Photoshop. What I LearnedI learned some of the basics of Photoshop, as well as how to navigate around the application. I learned how to manipulate the saturation and hue of the picture in order to create a picture that was similar to the Andy Warhol paintings. I also learned about the way I will be able to use Photoshop for future assignments.
