My Photostory

I used many of my own photos and altered them to tell a story about depression and how dark it can get but also how great a person can feel after overcoming such terrible events in their life. I used many filters, clones, patch, dodge/burn filters, hue saturation, blurs, layers, and different color schemes. It was cool to be able to experiment with the gimp manipulation software throughout the semester and it made it a lot easier to do this project having the background knowledge that I do now. I had trouble getting it into a powerpoint as my computer does not have the free program on it.

Portrait Photography

This week I wanted to take the more difficult approach and try to capture a decent portrait of something that wasn't a person. I took a picture of my brothers rabbit at angle that makes you want to ask what exactly he is looking at. Same thing with the other photo of the figure of the girl with heart wings. It was cool to experience with the portrait setting on my camera and how it differs from some of the other settings on the camera. It was a bit difficult to get just the right angle especially with the rabbit who didn't want to sit still. 

Clone/Text/Paint Tools

This week I enjoyed messing around with the clone and paint tools. I think the first tomato picture looks like it is rotting or melting almost. The next set I used the paintbrush for the picture with the truck and used the airbrush for the picture of the sign and wall. I messed around with the program with other similar tools as well it was fun to experiment with them.
