About the Class


Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

For this last assignment we were to show off our best photos and tell about our experience in this class.  I really enjoyed this class, but at the beginning I didn't like it.  After we learned more about cameras and how to take good pictures I began to really enjoy it.  I will always use what I learned in this class to take pictures later in life.

Gimp Assingment- Visual Puns













Assignment Description-  For this assignmnet we had to make visual puns by editing pictures together in Gimp. I did the puns Dr. Pepper, Fruit Fly, and Serial Killer.  I thought that this assignment was fairly easy.  I used a lot of layers and I used the eraser tool and the free select tool a lot.

What I Learned-  I learned how to use layers more efficiently and I became more familiar with them.  I also learned how to use the creative commons to get pictures without plagiarizing them.

Photo Assignment 7- Motion

Assignmnet Description:  For this assignment, the last assignment, I chose to do motion.  My brothers were outside playing basketball so I had them do some dunks.  I set the camera to take continuous pictures and I put them together in Gimp so that you could see the progression of the dunk throughout one picture.

Technical Info:
ISO:400
Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/500 sec.

What I Learned:  I learned how to edit the picture so that there are multiple pictures in the same picture.  It was very similar to the school context assignment.
