Photo of the Week #9

A perk of having my birthday so close to Christmas is the abundance of cupcakes as cute as this one. It's flavored like hot chocolate and looks like it, too!

Photo of the Week #8

Merry Christmas! I used the lighting from the strand of multicolored blinking lights I have have wrapped around my Christmas tree.

Photo of the Week #7

The original picture was taken in my grandma's kitchen that has overly bright lights. The picture looked washed out so I chose the auto-enhance feature on my phone trying to fix it but it now looks too dark.

iMovie Tutorials

This video taught me the basics of iMovie. It demonstrated how to use the tabs above and also where everything was such as the project board and window. He used a template to make an "action movie" trailer. This video taught me how to add audio, play videos simultaneously, and add breaks where transitions go. Also, it covered how to add title screens. This video was a follow up on all the basic features of Imovie.

Happy Thanksgiving! The classic pilgrim salt and pepper shakers plus a turkey cookie are perfect for this Thanksgiving post.

Final Read Poster

I learned how to use Photoshop throughout this project. It took mea while but I learned how to magnetically lasso my portrait and flatten it into the background.

Photo of the Week #5

All the prek-er's wait everyday outside the St. Joseph gates to go to class. If I could retake this picture I would get down to their level and get the one kid telling jokes to himself to turn around.

Photo of the Week #4

My photo this week is of the smiley face that I just so happen to make while cracking eggs. The one thing I wish I could fix is the measuring cup in the background because it is distracting. I shot this picture on my phone in a hurry before the eggs ran together but because I used my phone the picture is very rectangular. I tried to photoshop the measuring cup out of the background but unfortunately it was to no avail.

Photoshop Cut Out

To photoshop my Phil out his original habitat, I used the magnetic lasso tool. The contrast of Phil and the driveway made it easier to cut him out. Next, I got rid of the background and filled it with Phillies red, his favorite color.

Photo of the Week #3

I took this picture on my phone and I turned the camera effect to vignette. I like this picture because it's my AP World book which I unfortunately almost always have with me. Also, it's the page I was reading in your class. To make this picture better I would change how dark the "burnt corners" color is because it should be hardly noticeable and not talke away from the picture.

Bob Martin on Prezi

Bob Martin is a very talented photogrpaher and he shoots one of my favorite subjects...sports! After researching him and his pictures I would love to try to attempt some his pictures but on a much smaller scale being that they don't let just anyone into the Olympic Games.

Photo of the Week #2

I like this picture because of the vibrant colors of the tie dye. I don't love how the pink dye in the cup looks because I was trying to get it the second it hit the water. Unfortunately, I was too slow. To improve this picture I would shoot faster before all the pink dye spread throughout the water. I shot this picture from directly above the cup but still tried to incorporate the tie dyed paper towels below it. 

Adventures

 There once was a happy couple - Phil and Phillis from Philly.

Then all of a sudden one day Phillis was kidnapped.

She was thrown into the back of a car. She tried to escape from the back window to get back to Phil.

Phil ran outside and couldn't find any sign of her.
 He wasn't complete without his Phillis. 

Phil had his "ah hah" moment and jumped on a skateboard to find clues to where she was. 

Bloody handprint?!?

Light bulb! He would just track her phone on the computer.

Phillis wasn't too far away and Phil would be able to catch up..if he found a fast enough ride.

Off to the rescue

#winning

They lived happily ever after. 

Picture of the Week #1

Keeps Getting Better 

I like the angle at which this picture was taken because it shows the years going by that the BK cross country team has excelled but also emphasizes the runners. Another thing I like is the lighting because it is natural and sunny. One thing I don't like about this picture is the bleachers. If I were able to improve this picture I would try to eliminate the bleachers from the top of the picture because they are a distraction.

I picked Mark Rogers because it is incredible how he gets animals to almost pose for the picture.

All of the pictures are taken from land but seem like they have been taken from in the water swimming next to the dolphins.

After this first picture, I learned the termonology needed for this class. I learned the differences between angles, shot types, and elements used in photography. It was easy to come up with the idea for each picture but a lot harder to make sure it met the criteria. This project will definitely help me because I won't have to take time and research everything beforehand. I need to work on my shot angles more because some of my pictures don't look like they are taken in a low angle.
