Architecture

Architecture 

Written Summary: 
For this picture assignment I chose to take pictures of architecture. I chose to take pictures of buildings and other architectural things because every building is different. A building could be old and rustic looking or modern and updated. My Mom and I ran all around looking for cool buildings and architectural structures to take pictures of. I hope you enjoy all the pictures!

Photoshop Car Assignment

Before

After


During this photoshop assignment, I expanded my knowledge using the lasso tool, the clone stamp tool, and the text tool. I learned that the clone stamp tool can be used for good and evil! We took a picture of a car at an auto show taken by Noelle Jacobs and edited it to make it look more professional. The modifications I made to the photo were, I took the light reflections off of the hood, made the background black, and darkened the image.

Shooting Assignment 1 Inspiration

The assignment I have chosen to take pictures about is Light Painting. I like the subject of light painting because with a single motion you are creating a solid image of your imagination

These are fantastic examples of light painting. I have experienced the subject of light painting before so I hope to expand my knowledge in the art. I plan on making my own studio in my basement so I can capture the same effect as the examples.
