Nature Assignment

Assignment Description: In this assignment I went outside and tried to show everyone the beauty of nature. I tried to make nature look better than it is by being very picky and choosing my objects wisely.



BEST PICTURE



ISO: 160
Aperture: 2.8
Shutter Speed: 1/200












What I've learned: I learned how to set up a nature background. It took a lot of pictures and it was very frustrating and it took a ton of time out of my weekend.

Suddendorf's gimp car

assignment description: in this assignment we were to take a picture of a car and edit it. we took out all the things that made it look bad and turned it into something beautiful.







What I have learned: I have learned how to take out things that you don't want in the picture by using cloning and coloring. This assignment was actually pretty fun compared to the other lab assignments. probably because we got to look at a sweet car for an hour but I learned a lot from it.

GIMP assignment

In this assignment we learned how to resize, crop. and add color to the images. We had to take one picture and turn it into four colorful pictures to make a spiffy picture. he learned how to use layers, guides, resizing and canvas, threshold dialog and anchoring a layer.



What I have learned about Gimp: I didn't like this project very much. it was frustrating and it took a couple times to get it. even though I didn't like this project, I learned how to crop, resize layer and make the picture multiple colors.
