Gimp Panoramic Assignment

This assignment was very difficult, I thought. There were 3 pictures total that I had to put together to make one long photo. It was hard because you had to move the camera, but keep it very steady. Editing it to make the 3 photos come together is even harder. You think you have it all done, then you look and there's always something else that doesn't fit. But, it turned out...I guess, other than the fact that it is a little too small and I overlapped way too much. Oh well.

Portrait Assignment #4

For this assignment I took a picture of my grandma because I spent the weekend with her in Frankenmuth. It turned out okay, but with a lot of digital noise.

GIMP Car Assignment


For this assignment we were given this same picture except with a person in the background and a lot of light reflections. We were required to edit it so it turned out like this!

Assignment #3 Animals

For this assignment I chose the category "Animals". I mainly focused on my cat Spike, considering my other cat Scarlet is not very photogenic. Spike is very lazy and doesn't like to be photographed. But, I managed to whip out a few somewhat decent ones! Isn't he cute? Oh, yes! I really enjoy this subject because I love animals. But, at the same time I had a struggle finding uniqueness in my photos because all my cat does is lie around everywhere all the time. Oh well. I hope you enjoy looking at my furry little friend! :)

Gimp Assignment 1



The Warhol Effect

This assignment was very easy. But then of course, Mr. Bush gave us really detailed instructions (which helped). I don't exactly like the colors in this project, because I feel like it doesn't seem as natural. But, oh well. It's cool.

Assignment #2 Nature


For this assignment I was required to take pictures that capture the wonders and beauties of nature. I mainly focused on trees and plants. During this assignment I learned that most pieces of nature can be captured in the simplest way and still look stunning.

These are some photos that inspire my love for still life photography. I hope to shoot something unique that no one has shot before. Something pleasing to the eye. A picture worth looking at. A picture that draws it's own attention. Here are the photos that I found that I really enjoy:
