photo journalism
Photoshop
This first category consist of my three personal best photoshop pictures.
Black and white Cheetos
With this photo I was able to take a regular photo put a black and white background on it and then create another layer on top of that then cut out the colored part of the photo thus revealing the black and white background of the other layer.
Time skip
On this photo there used to be all numbers 1-12 but as you can see there are only been numbers to be seen. i accomplished this by using heats called a spot healing brush in photo shop; which basically erased the numbers i wanted from the photo.
Hidden scar
As the tittle suggests there used to be a scar along the elbow bend of my arm. This was accomplished by again using what's called a spot healing tool in photoshop. Though if you do not believe me, you are then only complementing my skill.
Elements of composition
The next category consist of my five personal best photo of Elements of composition.
The silent protector
I personally love this photo. The light coming in from the outside causes the security guard in this photo to become somewhat of a silhouette, giving him mystery and intimidation. That he is here to protect and serve but asking for nothing in return.
Simple but complex
This photo may be a simple one but there's actually quite a bit that catches the eye her. Like for instance this photo was shot from a worms eye position and also uses a somewhat macro approach to the bricks. If you haven't noticed by now that even though this may be a simple photo, there is quite a bit that appeals to the human eye.
Square
Ever wandered why children alway say, "be there or be square." It is a simple answer actually; it's because your not 'around.' I know I'm as dumbfounded as anyone else would be. Anyways as you can see this photo has an abundance of squares all closely packed together or a repetition of squares. I guess this wind was never around as a little wind kid.
Pride
After taking this photo and examining it further I began too see what I captured. If you look at this photo another time and noticed the FR symbol directly above the girl you will notice that the words on either side of the symbol are the words imbedded in ever Fossil Ridge student and alumni who have passed through the hallways of this amazing school. And quite possibly even the girl standing directly under the sign.
Ambition
I've chosen this tittle because it truly captures what is in ever Fine Art students heart. And that is the ambition too mack something of then selves, to over come all odds and be the one who arrives on top.
The superb six
These last six photos are of my personal over all best. I'll leave you to figure out what you like best about them as well.
Written reflection
My experience in this class was an amazing one. I've learned a lot more than I thought I ever would. In my mind i believe I've truly have become a better photographer and a better journalist. My favorite part has to be just taking pictures, learning how that everything has beauty and there are plenty of elements to take a grate photo all around us no matter where we are. I have always been very interested in the world of photography and with taking this class it has truly shown me just how amazing photojournalism is.
Camera operations
To power on/off the camera you hit the on and off button. To enable macro/super macro you hit the flower button and slide over to the macro or super macro options. To replace the batteries and the SD card you flip the camera over and expose its belly then undo the latch to expose the batteries and SD card. To zoom in and out you can look on the side of the camera to ring the zoom in and out analog stick, also works to enlarge an image. Ti change the date and time go to options and find date and time
