Choose One

Image
I decided to choose autodraw, because I found it the most interesting of the choices. Im going to draw a terrible bear and google is gonna fix it. This was my base bear. Very simplistic, but not what I was going for. This is the challenge, I cannot draw anything above a 5th grade level. This is how google fixed it This was the finished product. I kept the hand drawn trees because I liked the way they look more, The bear looks really good. The thing I liked the most about this project was the simplicity. The AI was able to take a terrible drawing, and turn it into a cool bear. I think the final product is a good drawing, while its not the mona lisa it is a cool bear with some trees.

Reflection and Warped Images

Image
10 things used for reflection and warped images: Glasses Mirrors Water Binoculars Windows Magnifying Glasses Bubbles Instruments Metal sheets Buildings (made of glass and such) I'm going to use a toy plane as my focal point, and use the mirrors, glasses, and other reflective items in class to take the pictures. Landon is the focal point of this picture, he's holding up a magnifying sheet which distorts his face and makes it larger. For this picture I used the back window of a car to reflect the plane. The shadow cast by the plane makes it look like it's going to land. For this I used a pitcher of water, and put the plane in the water. This cause the front to appear much larger. For this I took a picture of the plane in front of a darkened window, which allows for the color of the plane to still be shown in the reflection. For this I put a glass block in front of the plane, and a mirror behind it. The plane looks warped, and elongated behin

Playing with Panorama

Image
5 Hints for Panoramas: Lock Camera Settings Practice movements Small Aperture Overshoot and Crop Use Panorama mode if available For my camera you just use panorama mode to shoot. 3 Panoramas For this one, I had Braden move with the camera, I had an issue with speed, occasionally going too fast. In this I had Braden stand still, and move at the last second, which caused an interesting effect Braden just stood still here These were the three panorama's I took. I think the bottom one is the best. The cloning was interesting but it didn't work. The bottom one looks the best to me, it had good lighting, and the speed was good. Imay have cut it off a little early though.

Macro Photography

Image
Macro Photography is the use of a lens to capture a picture of a small subject, while making it appear large. For Instance taking a picture of a snowflake, and seeing it's patterns is an example of macro photography. 3 things to keep in mind: Keep Your Distance Depth of Field Focus 10 Subjects: 1. Snowflakes 2. Water Drops 3. Rocks 4. Leaves 5. Branches/sticks 6. Buds 7. Engraving 8. Neon Signs 9. Eyes 10. Grass The object is framed well and there is a good distance, which showcases the depth of field of the image. The subject(s) are in focus, which, in conjunction with the blurry background creates a sense of vastness ​-subject size The subject is small, but has enough involved to be a good subject for the photo - background The background is blurred and basic, shifting the focus to the subject - focus The subject is focused perfectly, and is clearly the subject - depth of field The subject is in the foreground, the middle ground is semi-blu

Action Photography

Does the action photo show faces/emotion?  Yes, but its hard to see behind the mask Does it show the ball/equipment being used? Yes, masks, sticks, pads Does it show people moving or do they just look like they are standing around?  Theyre sliding Does it have good lighting?  it's not good but not terrible Is it cropped to help focus on the subject in motion? Yes Is it focused or is it very blurry?  (For this project, some blur can be ok!  Especially the if it's the object in motion!) Focused Was the  panning technique  used?  No THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND: Use Flash for a sharper image Keep a good distance Clean Background Practice Focus on one thing One of the strengths in my action photo was.... The setup of the shot One of the challenges for my action photo was... Lighting In the future, I would overcome the above challenge by ... Using flash
