Shutter/Aperture Assignment:
Shutter Speeds:
In this photo, I had a shutter speed of 1/20.
In this photo, I used a shutter speed of 1/30.
In this photo, I used a shutter speed of 1/60.
In this photo, I used a shutter speed of 1/160.
In the photos above showing shutter speed, I chose to have my brother hold a hose, and I was trying to capture the water droplets. The first picture is 1/20 and shows a motion blur, while the last photo with a shutter speed of 1/160 freezes the water so you can see the droplets.
Aperture:
In this photo, I used an aperture of 3.5.
In this photo, I used an aperture of 5.0.
In this photo, I used an aperture of 6.3.
In this photo, I used an aperture of 8.0.
In my photos representing Aperture, I chose to have my dog Cisco lay behind a ball. In the first photo with an aperture of 3.5, it focuses mainly on the ball, and in the last photo with an aperture of 8.0, it focuses on everything.
What I learned:
~ A fast shutter speed freezes a motion unlike a slow shutter speed and also lets in less light.
~ A slow shutter speed creates a motion blur while letting in more light and creating a bright photo.
~ A large Aperture lets in more light and creates a brighter photo because the image sensor has a higher degree of light. Also, this creates a shallower depth of field in an image.
~ A smaller Aperture makes the photo darker because it lets in less light, and creates a deeper depth of field in an image.

In this assignment, we were told to upload a photo into Photoshop and we had to colorize them into red, green, blue, and yellow. I had fun and learned a lot about photoshop and how to adjust photos.
Photo Assignment 1- Animal
In this Assignment, we had to take 40 - 50 pictures of a certain subject. I chose to do mine on animals. I did my dog Ria, and I took around 40 pictures of her. After that, we were told to pick the best photo and 5 others to put onto our blog.
Here is the best photo:
Here is the best photo:
ISO: 400
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: 4.0
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: 4.0
Here is the next best photos:
Summary: I enjoyed this photo assignment. I had fun taking pictures of my dog, and this photoshoot taught me how to take better photos and how perspective changes a photo. One thing that went well was if I held her ball above the camera, it looked as if she was looking at me.
Photoshop Retouching Assignment:

Here is the photo after I retouched it:

In this assignment, we had to make the original car a little bit redder, make the background black, and also tint the windshield. We touched up the main body of the car, and then add a second one of our color choice.
Photo Assignment #2 - Nature/Landscape
In this assignment, we had to take 40 - 50 pictures of a certain subject. After that, we were told to place the best one in our blog, along with 5 others that were "runner ups." I took pictures of a small flower and tried taking it from many angels.
Here is the best photo:
Here is the best photo:
ISO: 160
Shutter Speed: 1/250
Aperture: 2.8
Shutter Speed: 1/250
Aperture: 2.8

After doing this assignment, I have learned that you can make an image very different by the amount of light that you let into the camera, and I also learned that aperture really affects an image.
