In this assignment, we were tasked with creating a piece of pop art form some pictures we had taken. In Photoshop, we had to use layers, use guides, resize the canvas, and use the threshold. Since we use Photoshop a lot in Digital Photography, we need to know how to use Photoshop and this assignment helps us better understand Photoshop. With this assignment, I learned how to use multiple tools in Adobe Photoshop and that I can create great by using just a couple simple tools in Adobe Photoshop. Since I had some extra time, I decided to make another pop art photo.

Hover over a picture to see more information The first picture to the left is an example of a shutter speed of 1/4. The one next to that is an example of a shutter speed of 1/15. The third picture is an example of a shutter speed of 1/30. The rightmost picture is an example of a shutter speed of 1/500. With these images, I am trying to show the possible ways to use the shutter speed setting. In the leftmost one, I'm demonstrating motion blur of the spinning foosball players. In the rightmost photo, I'm demonstrating the freeze action of the foosball players. In all photos the foosball players were spun at around the same speed. The leftmost picture is an example of an aperture of 3.4. The picture that is second to the left is an example of an aperture of 4.0. The third picture to the left is an example of an aperture of 5.6. The leftmost picture is an example of an aperture of 8.0. With these images, I'm trying to show how increasing the aperture (smaller number) creates a shallow depth of field while decreasing the aperture (bigger number) creates a larger depth of field. As seen in the image with an aperture of 3.4 (rightmost), there is a very shallow depth of field and only some of the leaves are in focus. While in the image with an aperture of 8.0 (leftmost), the whole background is basically in focus. Thus showing that a larger aperture has a smaller depth of field and a smaller aperture has a larger depth of field. Questions about Aperture and Shutter SpeedQ; A fast shutter speed does what to an image?
A: A fast shutter speed will decrease the exposure of a photo (make it darker) and create a freeze motion effect with any movement in the photo. Q: A slow shutter speed causes what effect on an image? A: A slow shutter speed will increase the exposure of a photo (make it brighter) and create a motion blur effect with any movement in the photo. Q: A LARGE aperture (size wide open) causes what effect on an image? A: A large aperture size (smaller number) increases the exposure of a photo (makes it brighter) and creates a shallow depth of field. Q: A SMALL aperture causes what effect on an image? A: A small aperture size (bigger number) decreases the exposure of a photo (make it darker) and creates a large depth of field. For my very first photo assignment, I have chosen to try out Light Painting. I chose this because it is very interesting and seems very fun to do. Light painting creates very interesting photos and I would like to try and create some really good ones. Some inspiration comes from these photos: These, in my opinion, are great examples of light painting because they draw your eye to a certain place in the photo and highlight a subject. I hope that I can create some masterpieces like these.
My five, best pictures for the second Composition AssignmentOn the top row are examples of framing, perspective, and space. On the bottom row is balance and colour. For my balance picture, I chose to take a photo of a light post and the tip of a tree. This image is balanced because on the right side is the light post and on the left the tree creating a balance in the photo. For framing, I chose to take a picture looking through the glass on a door to the outside. This is an example of framing because it frames the outside world from the inside. From this project I learned more basics of camera use such as changing the aperture and shutter speed to increase or decrease the brightness of the photo and how to adjust the focus to get the camera to focus on a certain object.
These are my six, best pictures for the first Composition AssignmentOn the top row are my examples of the rule of thirds, patterns, and symmetry, and on the bottom are my examples of texture, depth of field, and lines. For tis assignment, we were tasked with taking pictures that represent the basics of composition in photographs. Through this assignment, I learned the basics of using a camera and how to chose the best places to take photos.
This photo, in my opinion, is my best photo of texture that I took at the High School. I chose this picture because it not only shows how the braille pops out of the metal plate, but it also shows how the word "Vocal" has been cut into the metal plate. The picture actually shows the marks left by the machine in the grooves of the word "Vocal." Through this assignment, I learned that you have to get the camera to focus just right and have the right amount of lighting to highlight the desired texture you wish to capture. For this portion of the assignment, we had to take a picture that was a good example of symmetry. In my opinion, this is the best one that I took. This is a picture of a light fixture on a pillar in the school that I go to. Although this is also a great example of perspective, it is symmetrical as well making it a great example. From this I learned that it is hard to find a perfectly symmetrical photo, but there are always diamonds in the rough. I also chose this one because it stood out to me compared to all the other photos I tok. For this assignment, we had to shoot an example of the basics of photography. This photo, in my opinion, is my best example of the Rule of Thirds. In the photograph, the red pot is the main subject an is in the bottom left corner. Thus following the rule of thirds. This helped me learn that by using the rule of thirds, one can make a photo more pleasing to the eyes. My name is Spencer Schneider. I am currently in two clubs. One being the High School robotics team Saline Singularity and the Ten Tones. A group of a cappella singers.This blog is for my Digital Photography class and I really hope you enjoy my photographs. I took Digital Photography this year (2018) because I would like to better understand cameras and take better photos. So far the class has been a lot of fun!
