This Assignment was about editing pictures in new was that we learn in class. We learned how to dodge and burn, change the colors on the background, darker things up and other things like that. These techniques were used on a picture of a car at the auto show.
Pictures
Audi R8
In this assignment I learned many new techniques the edit my picture so that they look better. This showed me how to get rid of things that I don't want in the picture such as people or unnecessary objects. It also show me how to darken things in a picture, such as a window on a car. The thing that I like doing most was the stamping by painting over the lights on the car and other things like that.

Nature Project
This assignment was about capturing nature and landscape in a picture. This was done outside and with plants or other natural things. This was the first of our photo assignment and I like the way that we get to choose our subject each week, instead of them being assigned.
Best picture: Star flowers
F Stop: 4.5
Shutter speed: 1/125
ISO: 200
Pictures
Nature:
New rising Plant
Branch of berries
Star flowers
Berries and star flowers
Plant for the last season
Bright green bush
Dead leaves of a branch
New leaves
The ground
New and old leaves

I learn in this assignments different ways to compose the picture that I am taking. Also I did a lot of editing on photoshop. Mostly to bring out the colors and to crop my pictures. This made my picture look better because beforehand they were bland and boring, but afterwards they looked way better. Hopefully next assignment I will learn more editing things on gimp and photoshop.

This assignment was teaching us how to use gimp and its many different tools. This program is like a photoshop where you can edit pictures that you take. This project he learned how to move pictures, change there color, make them cartoony, and cut parts of the picture out.

New Photo Assignment
For the first assignment i would like to shoot a nature picture.I would like to do this because I feel that there is a lot of different option for what I could do. I could take a picture of a large area or I could take a picture of a close up image. In the picture below it has been taken close up and focus of the flower and not the leaf. I hope to be able to create an effect like this so I can show the essence of the subject that i am taking a picture of.

Motion and Depth Of Field Assignment
The Purpose of this assignment is to learn new things and apply them in our photography. The two new thing that we have learned in is using shutter speed and aperture in our photos. Shutter speed is shown in the motion photos and aperture is shown in the depth of field photos.

Pictures
Motion (Pictures 1-4): Boy walking
Aperture (Pictures 5-8): Fire hydrant and a Tree

I learned in this assignment the different way that motion and depth of field pictures are taken. To take different motion pictures you need to change to shutter speed. When you make it faster is takes a frozen in time picture, which is when to subject is frozen and not moving. When the shutter speed is slower the subject is seen moving and is blurred. To create a different depth of field you need to change the aperture. This changes the amount of light that is let in and what in the picture is in focus. A smaller aperture creates a bright picture with a close depth of field, when it is smaller the brightness is darker and the focus is in the farther points of the picture.

Pattern: Window of a Door
Rule of Thirds: Flag of America
Symmetry: Schools Wall
Depth of Field: 3 Flags and the Landscape
Lines: Storm drain
Color: Moving Sign
Space: Telephone
Perception: Under the Desk
Framing: Open Locker
Balance: Tree in the Distance

Through out this assignment I have learned a lot about the composition of photography. Some of these thing are how to place objects in you picture so that they look bettering the finished project. Another thing that I learn is how the suns light affect yours pictures because of shadows. But most of all I learned the best ways to take the pictures with the camera itself to that it turns out good in the final form on the computer.
