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.

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.
