Motion Blur

I think my image does look real because the blur is going in the same direction it would be in real life and the other parts are still in focus.

Photographing Water

Photographing a Water Droplet with Flash

1. It was easy to get a good shot because we had good timing.
2. I did not like that the flash was not timed well with the camera and we had a hard time getting a good angle.

Photographing a Colored Water Droplet without Flash

1. It was easy to get a good shot because the color was mixing really well.
2. I liked that you could control the lighting a lot more than with the flash and we could mix the colors really well.

Shoot Water Drops with the Burst Mode

1. It was hard to get a shot because the burst mode was not capturing it with the right timing and the angles were hard to get.
2. I did not like the burst mode because you could not control it, like with the DSLR's.

Shoot Colored Water with the Burst Mode

1.  It was easy to get a good shot because the color mixed well.
2. My team used red and blue to mix into pretty colors and we used an angle that got the jar in the shot.

Jumping on train tracks in Davenport

This is a series of photos to show the story of a jump. They were taken along some old train tracks in Davenport on the cliff above shark fin cove. The tracks are not in use, so it was safe to take pictures there. They were taken on a Canon t6i on a tripod with an umbrella over it, because it was lightly raining.

Green Screen

1. The most difficult part of this project was coming up with an idea of what to do.
2. I like how she is positioned on the horse.
3. I could have improved the lighting for this picture, but I had a different background image idea when we were shooting and changed it after we took the picture.

Warhol Edits

Surreal Photography

1. I used the layer mask and brush tools most on this project.
2. I think the best part about the composition is the shark coming out of the water.
3. It was not that hard to combine the images. The hardest part was getting the color of the different waters to match and have the white parts of it match too. I used hue and saturation and levels adjustment layers.
4. I could have blended the far right edge of the water layer better with the original image where the two parts of the "white water" meet.

Surreal Bottle

• I learned how to warp images, add a "vignette", and I can't think of a third.
• My final file had 32 layers.
• I did like this assignment because we are finally doing more complex projects. I did not like how slow we moved as a class, but I understand that some people need more help.
