Gimp Car Editing Assignment

For this assignment we had to edit a picture of a car using GIMP.  We were given an edited photo and had to take the original photo and edit it to match the already edited photo.
What I learned from this assignment was how long it takes to edit a picture to make it look more interesting.  I also learned how to use the cloning tool to edit any light spots or imperfections on the car.

Assignment 1- People

For this assignment we were given a list of different subjects to take pictures of.  I chose to take pictures of people and things they are interested in.

For this photo I took a picture of a friend tying the ribbons on her point shoes.  The editing I did for this photo was crop and touch up a mark on the wall with Photo shop.  The most difficult part of this was finding a place to take the picture and the angle I wanted to take the picture from.

ISO=160
Aperture=f/3.1
Exposure=1/15 sec



What I learned from this assignment was how long it takes to get the right photo.  You have to change a lot of settings like shutter speed and aperture to get the exposure correct.  Also finding a background that isn't too busy for the photo or distracting to the eye.

Pop Art Gimp Assignment 1

 For this assignment we took a picture on of ourselves on photo booth.  We then used GIMP to edit and change the settings of the picture. We learned how to use certain tools and color editing with the GIMP program.

What I liked about this assignment was learning how to use the different tools and how to edit the colors.  It helps make your picture unique and gives a different perspective of it after the editing is all finished.
