Lesson 2-5 #11

Lesson 2: In this lesson, I learned how to select certain parts of a picture. There are four different ways to do this. You can use the marquee tool, the lasso tool, the magic wand tool, and you can use the select menu. There is also another way to do this. You can also use the pen tool to do this, which is what I personally like to use.

Lesson 3: In this lesson, I learned how to color, draw, and erase on an image. To do this you can use various tools. I can use a paint brush tool to paint or draw on the picture. Or, if I want to color a larger area I can use the paint bucket tool. I can edit the color of the whole picture by playing with the hue/saturation of the picture. I can also invert the colors of the image. To erase parts of the image, I can select the eraser tool, erase the areas that I want to.

Lesson 4: In this lesson, I learned how to edit a picture. I can rotate the picture I can crop it, add filters, etc. I also learned how to combine two pictures together in a way that they look as if they are one picture. To do this you just have to outline the object that you want to place on the background and place it on there.

Lesson 5: In this lesson, I learned how to touch up a image. I learned how to take something out of the background if I don't want it to be there. Like, if there was "photo bombers" in the background of my pictures, I could easily remove them from the background without damaging my picture.

Selective Color #13

The picture above is my selective color image. I chose to use a picture of Snow White because I have always loved Disney princesses. I always loved the movie Snow White and I thought that it would be neat idea to use a picture of her holding the apple. I made the apple, her hair bow, and her lips in color. I thought that making all of these things in color would look more creative than just having the apple in color. I enjoyed this project, because I have always wanted to know how to do this to a picture. I have seen these pictures and always wanted to try it but I didn't know how. I was very pleased with how my picture turned out. I thought that it was a great way to show splashes of colors in the picture.

Light Writing/Long Exposure #11

When I did my light writing/long exposure project, Ms.Snyder helped me by taking my pictures for me. I decided to do this kind of picture because I thought it would look creative and different from everyone else's. I thought that it would look interesting if I made it look like I was holding something and all of these weird light beams were coming up all around it. To accomplish this I took two pictures.  The first picture that was taken was my silhouette and looked like I was holding rainbow light in my hands.  The second picture taken was where I took two different colored lights and swirled them around to make it look like weird light swirling around. I took both of these pictures and layered them together on photo shop.  I outlined ,y silhouette with pink and then I was finished.  I was very pleased with my results and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to.

Response:
I chose these three pictures as my favorites because each of them have a unique look to them that I found very appealing.  Picture number one was my one of my favorites because it was very cool looking.  It is so simple, yet so unique.  Even though it was just a picture of a chair I thought that it had a very creative angle on it.  The second picture was one of my favorites because it was closer up to the chair.  It shows flaws in the chair that can also be beautiful.  It shows how the rope is fraying which makes it appeal as if it has been worn out.  That gives the picture a vintage look and feel.  The third one was one of my favorite ones because the chair is laying in an odd position.  It shows how something so simple, can be turned around, or positioned a different way and change the whole look of the photo.  I enjoyed this project because I love taking pictures of things and positioning things different ways to find out which one looks the best.  I think this could have been better though, if we could have used more items within our fifty photos that we had to take!!
