Module Six Photo Assignment

MODULE SIX PHOTO ASSIGNMENT

  1. Practice taking some photographs for conversion to black and white. When you’ve finished, use photo editing software to convert the images from color to black and white. Submit three of your favorite images.



  2. Choose three different scenes or objects to photograph. When you’ve finished, save each color image and create a copy that you will convert to black and white. Submit the three sets of photographs (one color and one black and white) of each scene. Indicate which photograph of the pair (color or black and white) that you prefer.






    I think from the first pair my favorite was the color photo, from the second pair my favorite was the black and white, and my favorite from the third pair was the black and white as well.
  3. Take at least five photographs and use photo editing software to apply at least one different filter to each photograph. Submit the five photographs that you’ve applied a filter to.





  4. Take at least ten photographs as you would if you were creating a panoramic shot. If you have editing software that will stitch the images together, you can try it with the photographs that you’ve taken. Submit all of the photographs that you took for the project, showing the tips discussed in the unit.










  5. Practice using a tripod or other stable foundation (rock, table, etc.) to take photographs from. Turn in three photographs that you took using the tripod or stable foundation.

Module Two Photography Assignment

Module Two Photography Assignment




These three are my photos for color.



These two are portraits of my dad.




These are my stock photos. I figured that the keyboard could be used in an article about, or review of, the Macbook Air, and the two food pictures could be used in an article.

Module 1 Photography Assignment

Module One Photography Assignment


The above two photos are the ones where I experimented with focal length. One photo came out more focused and detailed than the other.



The two photos here are the ones where I experimented with settings on my camera. One is in regular portrait mode, and the other is in dramatic color mode.




These three photos of my laptop were the ones where I took the picture in different lighting. I needed to use flash on them all, because otherwise you could not see anything in the picture. The first one is in the artificial lighting of my living room, the second is in my dark backyard that has fluorescent lighting, and the third one was in my hallway with all of the lights off.




These three photos of a tree were my favorite practice photos.

Module Four Photo Assignment

Module 4 Photo Assignment




The above are my pictures for the Rule of Thirds.




The above three are my pictures for filling the frame.




The above pictures are my pictures for lines. I used vertical lines in all three pictures because I enjoyed the feel they gave the image more than diagonal or horizontal lines.




The above three photos are my photos for perspective. The first two were taken by putting my camera on the ground and taking the picture, for the third one I knelt on the ground and turned my camera upward to give the view of someone on the ground looking up.





The above four are my pictures for following and breaking the rules of composition. In the first one I am following the guideline of active space, in the second one I chose to ignore active space to get a more detailed picture of the rooster. In the third one I followed the Rule of Thirds, in the fourth one I chose to ignore the Rule of Thirds for a more dynamic photo.
