School Context Gimp Assignment

For this assignment we were to create an image that changed the context of our school. We took a typical picture of our school and used Gimp to add images to it and make it unexpected.

Still Life

This week I chose to do still life photos for my assignment. I used objects from around my house that I found interesting and cool to look at. I took the photos in a darker room with a single light providing light for the objects that are the focus of the photo.

The technical data for my best photo is:
F Number: 2.6
ISO: 80
Shutter Speed: 1/60

Here is an album of some of my other favorite photos from this assignment:

Photo Retouching

The point of this assignment was to learn some basic and some advanced photo
editing techniques. We took a picture of a car and edited to remove the distracting background, tint the front window, and remove some glare from the front hood. We worked with the crop, level, and clone tools.

Animals

This week I chose to take pictures of animals for my assignment. First I took pictures of my friend's dog. I took pictures both inside and outside with the dog. I liked the results of the pictures outside in the snow with the dog playing with a soccer ball. I also took pictures of my cat during the late afternoon sunlight, which is a great lighting for pictures.

The best photo I took is above. The technical data for the photo is:
F Number: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/1000
ISO: 80

Andy Warhol Gimp Assignment

For this assignment we were to create an Andy Warhol type effect for one of our pictures. We took a picture and cropped it to be square, then changed the threshold and added color.
