Panoramic Gimp Assignment


For this assignment I took three pictures, put them into gimp, and made them a panoramic picture, which is putting them together, to look like one picture. My picture is of the pond in front of the high school, and it was very difficult to put them together, and took some time on gimp, but I am happy with the results.

Inspiration for Nature

For my first photo assignment, I want to explore doing nature. These photos inspired me because of how the capture parts of nature that you don't see everyday. I live by a park with lots of trees, and areas of nature. These places would be good areas to shoot. Now that the leafs are changing I will use these nature pictures to inspire me for my own pictures.


My inspiration is from these pictures by:
Ichiro Kishimi
Petra
Lara-queen
Achiam



These pictures are very inspiring for people looking to shoot nature pictures, the inspired me for my next assignment, and hopefully, the rain will hold and I will be able to shoot in my backyard and some near-by parks around my neighborhood. As the leafs are starting to change colors I can't wait to get out and start shooting!

Composition Assignment #2

In this assignment I took pictures of five more types of pictures. The types we took were, color, balance, perspective, framing, space. I learned while doing this that some of them are harder to do then others. These are some topics you can use to help with the composition of your pictures, for example, when I took pictures of framing and perspective I realized that those were key aspects to any pictures that I take, and I should try to use those every time I take pictures. Also balance is very important because sometimes it can change a picture, so look good off balance and others don't.

Compositon assignment #1

This assignment was taking pictures of 6 different ideas of photography.
I took pictures of lines, symmetry, depth of field, rule of thirds, pattern, and texture.
I learned that you can separate the ideas, and the all fit well together also, like you can use the rule of thirds and depth of field in the same picture. Also it is important to highlight parts of a photograph like lines or patterns.
