Babysitting

Love my job, need I say more.

There is a kid in all of us...

Off in Ann Arbor

Today I went to Ann Arbor on a photo excursion:). This was the best photo I captured.
*Photoshop: enhanced saturation.

BEST PHOTO EVER

So this trimester is over. I probably will not do weekly post weekly but I will be posting once in a while. This best photo was taken for my composition assignment way back at the beginning for Depth of Field. I love the innocence of this flower and how it was just randomly placed there by whomever. Hope you enjoy!

Assignmet 7: People

This weekend as I was babysitting, I took pictures of the four girls that I babysat. I had the privilege of using a very nice Canon DSLR camera from my church. I felt so professional:)
 Below is the original and photoshoped photo.
Original:

Photoshoped:

 

Shutter Speed: 1/50

Aperture: f5

ISO: 3200

I learned that when photographing children, they move and squirm a lot, so in those cases, you need to use a higher shutter speed to catch them in action. It was very cool to use a big, fancy, (expensive) camera :)

Tutorial

We had to look up a free photoshop tutorial and try and do it on photoshop by ourselves. I chose to do a simple wedding invitation. Below is the link and my finished picture.

The tutorial wanted you to download grunge brushes off a website that was free. I didn't follow all of the steps, I just made it my own. It was hard to figure it out at first, but if you are familiar with photoshop then you should be fine:)

Assignment 6: Black and White

This weekend I was inspired by a pair of boots I bought at a new resale shop in town. It has all vintage things and these boots seem to just illuminate in the black and white setting. It brought out the antique look of things like the scuff marks and creases in the leather. I also put thte photo in phototshop and did some thing with the levels. Hope yall enjoy:)

Photoshopped:

Aperture: f4
Shutter Speed: 1/80
ISO: 800






I learned that it is better to shoot in manual because then you can adjust the aperture, shutter speed and ISO to fit the lighting within the space.  Sometimes I got the background wall to be way too over exposed and then others it was too under exposed. I like playing around with the camera. Twas a good experience:)
