First Post
In digital photography one, I really enjoyed taking pictures of nature and taking pictures down town Ann Arbor. I struggled with having the right exposure and I always had to use photoshop to fix it. I really want to get better with that and being able to use the exposure triangle better and be better at balancing the photo better. In Digital Photography one I took a picture of nature and get the chance to print it and have Mr.Bush put it up in his room. These are my best photos from Digital photography one.
Color
Over the weekend I took pictures of color. Because of the weather it was hard to take pictures outside, my dad and I went to the store to take pictures of flowers and just colorful things in general. At first I thought going wouldn't result in good pictures but i was wrong.

These are my next five best photos I took this weekend.
Framing
This was tricky for me because I am not very good at PS, But after I finished I realized it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. My favorite one in the lasso one the most because you can get really creative with it. These are the 8 I framed. My least favorite one is the gallery one, I find that one the most challenging.
Panoramic
I took two on campus and three off, I had difficulty with the focusing of the picture because I always forgot that i was in manual and that I had to turn the part on the front of the camera.
Photo two
Over spring break I went to St.Thomas and took pano pictures of the beach and the water. I didn't have my camera so i took them on my phone, I felt it was easier because I didn't have to deal with the f stops and all that.
HDR
For this project we had to take 3 pictures with different exposures. My biggest problem when putting them together was it showed the movement between the photos and made them blurry.

Pano Graphic
I had trouble with these because some of my pictures didn't match up like I wanted them too so I couldn't use them in my picture
Collages
In this assignment we had to put together a collage for what are lives are like right now and what we see our lives like in the future.
During this assignment I learned that I want to achieve many goals in my future. I also learned how little pictures I have of my family.

While taking these photos, I had trouble getting the picture to not be blurry and not too dark. I for sure had to edit some of these in PhotoShop. I also had trouble with trying not to get sand kicked at the camera while shooting the soccer game.

Photo Tutorials
This assignment we were told to look up photoshop tutorials and try them out. The first one we had to do was a polaroid one and the next ones we got to choose wha we wanted to do.
I learned that I am not very good at remembering what and where things are in photoshop. I also learned that there are some pretty cool things you can do on photoshop.
Below are the photoshop tutorials I did.
I also worked on Grammy night photos so I didn't have enough time to do more than three.

Duplicate style
This assignment was kind tricky for one of my photos. I had to use skew to make the picture look like its coming out of the printer. The other picture was I only had to add the text but I did have to select the net and the girl and paste it directly on top of the picture so I could get "rules" to look like its behind the net.
I learned that being able to use photoshop and make some of the really cool adds you see on the internet are very tricky to create.
The third one was the easiest, all I had to do was import my pictures and add text.

Photo 8 B&W
For my last photo assignment I took photos and turned them into B&W, I also took old photos that I didn't use and turned them into B&W.
I learned that turning pictures into black and white can really change the effect they have and really changes the mood of the photo.

Portrait
I took pictures in the studio and out of the studio. I learned that taking photos out of the studio are easier because the models enjoy it more and have more fun out of the studio.
The studio photos are on the left and the out of studio photos are on the right.

Self portrait and Environmental
For this assignment I had trouble taking pictures of myself. Also I took pictures of my mom fixing the flowers, and a picture of my sister getting ready.
In this assignment I learned that I dislike taking photos of myself way more then I thought I did.

Final Reflection
In digital photography two I have grown in my ability to use photoshop, I also grew as a photographer. My favorite type of photography is taking pictures of nature, especially of flowers and trees. My favorite photoshop lesson was panoramic. Over spring break I went to St. Thomas so I had many opportunities to take many pictures of the ocean and trees and the landscape down there.
Some good things about photography and this class are how you have such a wide range of objects and topics to take pictures of. also that it is almost 100% your decision on what you take pictures of.
Some dislikes are some of the assignments we had during the week I didn't care for as much, they just weren't my thing.
I learned that there are so many tools in photoshop, even passed the surface of photoshop. I also learned more about myself while in digital photography one and two. I learned that there are many ways to show who you are and what your life is like through the photos you take.
Below are some of my favorite pictures I took during this class.
