360 Panoramas (Absent)


I took this photo on the road you drive on before you pull up to my driveway at my house.
 I had cheer during the week every day and by the time I got home it was very
dark so I went home during lunch and took this photo one day. I think it turned
out pretty well even though it took lots of time to edit. 


I took this on the turf at school and am really happy on how
 it turned out. It was hard to edit but worth it in the end!



I took this photo of my house and shop. It was the most difficult to edit and I
wish I would have included more sky which would have made it more easy.
But in this location, it was hard to try to also incorporate the sky. 







180 Panorama (Absent)

I thought this project in the end turned out pretty cool. It was frustrating because my camera took the photos kind of with a different lighting for every photo so I had to clone stamp a lot of it. It was also hard to think of poses to do.

Self Scan

This was fun to do. I would have never thought of using a scanner as a camera before
so it wasn't something new and cool I learned. It would be fun to do it again

Self Portraits

This shows that I love to smile and be happy

This shows that the smile isn't always there

This shows that I like to be funny and do funny stuff

This shows that I look in the mirror everyday and still don't know who I am 

This shows that I'm always laughing





This shows that I'm still trying to find our who I am


This shows my happy/silly moments

This shows I laugh to make myself feel better

This shows that I like weird stuff

This obviously shows that I have three heads

Beauty



I would define beauty in photography as anything. Everything is beautiful and sometimes I think photography makes anything look even more beutiful. Some characteristics of photographic beauty are: the right lighting, the right background, the right color, etc. I believe something ugly can be photographed and still be considered beautiful because like I said before, photography makes things more beautiful.

Pumpkin Guts



Today, I learned more about layers and how they affect your photo. I also learned how to cut stuff out of an image and replace it with another. The last thing I learned was if you take the opacity down, it will shower the layer behind another layer.

Happy Halloween!

Alphabet Project

Although the outcome of this project was very cool, it was a very frustrating project to do. It took a lot of time and patience. But it did teach me to look at objects in a new way.

While doing this project, I learned that you don't have to be really close to something to get a good picture, you can be far away and just zoom in and it looks the same. Unfortunately, I didn't start to notice this until towards the end of my project. I also learned that sometimes (at least my camera) would not take certain photos unless you had the right zoom, angle, or lighting. That got frustrating sometimes, but it also made sense why it wouldn't do that.
