Photo Assignment 5

We had a demo over light painting in the dark room which I though was very cool because of what simple light can do in a picture when taken right. You draw in the air while the picture is being taken and it come out in the picture.

I learned many new things in this photo assignment. One of these are the way to create pictures in a dark room with only a camera and a light source. This is done when you move the light around and the picture is taken with a long shutter speed will create a cool effect with colors and a black background.

The option that I chose to do this week was Macro.This is when you take pictures really close up and your target is small. A bit part of this the small things in the picture that you can see usually with the naked eye in day to day life.

In this assignment I learned many things about taking pictures of really small things. First you need to make sure that the camera is focused or the picture will look bad when you blow it up. Another thing is that you need to get minimal glare on the object. Last you need to edit it on photo shop and make it look good.

School Context

This assignment was made so that we could roam gimp and do what ever we wanted to a picture that we would take of the build. This was important so we could learn new techniques in this photo-editing program.

Like taking thing out and adding new things in the ground and ceiling by erasing the layers of the school with different pictures underneath. This was one of my favorite assignments so far because it gave us so must control over the assignment.
