Week 4 Summary
This week has been CRAZY Between other classes, applying to internships, and everything else I had to do this week, it is a miracle.

My Favorite Photo
This is my favorite photo Iāve ever taken mostly because of the the subject, my cat. Artie doesnāt often sit still long enough to get this kind of portrait of her. I also really liked the lighting. This was probably taken one day when I got home from practice just a few minutes before sunset, ā¦ -
Many, Many Meās
In this universe, many meās have joined together as partners in crime. Earth 27 me has just stolen the milk out of your fridge for Earth 42 meās cereal, and Earth 212 me drove the getaway car. I used Gimp to edit multiples of myself into one photo. Each photo was a layer, and for ā¦ -
Save Me From Myself
If I ever met myself, I canāt imagine weād get along terribly well. And I imagine weād be laughing the whole time. This panorama was a bit difficult because it kept clipping when I jumped on or off the chair. I tried it a few different ways and this was the best result. With some ā¦ -
Tips in Action
After reading Becoming a Better Photographer, I found myself taking a lot of consideration throughout the week as to how I compose my photos and the elements that go into each shot. As a beginner, I feel like Iāve subconsciously used plenty of these tips before, but itās always fun -
Whatās in My Bag
by @BriannaDAlbis February 4, 2022Here is a breakdown of the essentials of what I carry in my backpack every day. Invisalign case: I take my liners out when. -
Emperor Zuck
by @Tillysisland February 4, 2022The Metaverse is a concept that seems daring and like the next step in human evolution to many, while remaining a potential nightmare situation to others. Currently, Iām not sure where I stand. Fortunately, though, itās always fun to joke around about The Zuck. For this assignment, I wanted to -
Time Beyond Doubt
Time beyond doubt living, energy rising capture or kill I didnāt have a physical newspaper or any way to print one out, but I did have the front page of tomorrowās The Times and a small drawing tablet, so this is my blackout poem. Most of the scribbling is nonsensical, but I tried to draw ā¦ -
Bubble Blower
by @Tillysisland February 4, 2022This week, though I feel more in my element with many of the potential assignments, I wanted to try to challenge myself with something new. Iāve never really tried animation that isnāt pixel art, but Iāve certainly never tried creating my own gif using sticky notes like this. I wonāt -
Portrait of a Living Room
This collage is made up of photos taken one step apart from each other walking into my living room. The main design principal I tried to stick to was the rule of thirds, but much of that was lost in the collage by virtue of what free collage templates are available for ten photos. Iāve ā¦ -
Happy Campers
When I see the opportunity to create a fun and/or nostalgic poster, I jump at the opportunity. Iāve absolutely loved graphic design for years and recently started using Canva to create some professional looking posters. This assignment really spoke to me on a personal level for more than my obsession -
Photoblitz
This was a really interesting challenge. Sometimes when taking photos it can be easy to get caught up in getting the the perfect shat and taking 50 photos when you really only need the one. My photoblitz prompts were as follows: An interesting shadow. Make a photograph that illustrates the weather where you are. Make ā¦ -
The Joy ofā¦ Pixels?
Thereās absolutely no way I was not going to do this assignment at some point. Not only do I love a creative challenge, but I adore pixel art. Iāve done my fair share, but havenāt really shared any of my work with anyone. Itās been a while since Iāve drawn -
Favorite Song ā but no lyrics
Can you guess my favorite song? (fingers crossed this doesnāt get taken down due to copyright) ... -
Radio Show Ideas
One of my favorite podcast shows is Dissect, where each season features one album, and every episode is a song off of the album. The host spends each 40 minute episode dissecting each song, lyric by lyric. If I were to host a radio show, I would definitely make it about pop culture. Whether that ... -
Make My Day
by @BriannaDAlbis February 4, 202211:00 a.m: I wake up to a coffee and bagels in bed alongside my pup. 12:00 p.m: I get dressed in comfy loungewear and. -
Finallyā¦ the week is over
I think this week was interesting, because everyone was producing so much work. I do wish I would have taken a different approach this week. I wish I would have started with the photography reflection post/ds106 photography post, so I could use that new... -
Thinking Like A Photographer
When thinking like a photographer, it is important to address the story and emotion behind each photograph, but one should never lose sight of the technical aspects. As much fun as it is to create a full and fleshed out narrative for a photo, it is also important to assess -
Photography Experience? No. Experiencing Photography? Yes.
Iāve never owned a nice Nikon, Iāve only ever used my phone, but Iād say that the idea of photography has always been one that has been bouncing around in my head. As someone who loves to create, I am always taking in the value and beauty of nature and -
Becoming a Better Photographer??
Overall, this experience was very helpful and I learned a lot about what I could do to make my photos a little bit better. I love taking photos, but I also learned I sure do need to go clean out my camera roll! I chose to post the first picture in the google document to help our class take some pictures Add a bit of color! Hailey Amick [email protected] I would love to share this tip that I have come up with on my own. I know alot of things are minimalistic these days and I wanted to share how we can make the following photos pop. This picture I took inĀ My apartment looks like a small moment in time. I look the thing that I wanted to pop and had that minimalistic colors, black and white then I gathered someone plain, but with texture and someone colorful with texture to add on each side complimenting the plain minimalistic object. In the back you always want to make there is a sense of natural colors and for this I have white and green vines.Ā For more ideas you can aspire things from pintrest, or try it on your own! That is my thoughts on how to become a better photographer! ? -
A moment in time from my iphone camera.
Currently, on my phone, my camera roll consists of 11,140 photos. I take photos of everything in my life of myself, food, friends, my furry animals, and so much more. I also take a lot of videos of myself as a musician, because I want to listen to myself, or share my content with others. They are not always good, but sometimes they can be beautiful! I know that just one photo can tell a story, but when reading up on some of the material from lots of different resources I learned there is a lot of small things I can do to make these moments in my life look have a little bit of clarity. (get it? clarity!!) I donāt necessarily ever have an approach when taking photos except to center the object that I am wanting to make the point of the photo such as a person, or the sun? I also ALWAYS change the brightness of the photo to darker or lighter depending on where or when the photo is being taken. I feel as if when I am taking photos that have meaning or catch a particular feeling that they end up turning out better because the emotion of the photo that I am capturing turns the photo into art. After viewing all the sources for class I feel a lot better about taking pictures, but I honestly always have a lot of creativity and love for all the photos I have taken or currently take. To end my blog post here is a photo from the sky I took the other night when on a run. -
The life of a superhero
For this assignment, I got to take a superhero and put them in a natural place for regular people going about their day so I decided to place Spiderman in a Mcdonaldās. He was ordering his food, and got his Mocha Frape to go!!! LOL. This was a fun and easy project. -
Understanding photography
I wouldnāt say when I take pictures that I focus on a story. I usually take pictures in order to remember a moment (which may be considered a story, I just donāt think so). Anyone can look at a photo I took of some... -
Play Saxophone.
For this assignment, I am going to be stripping down what it is like to take your first blow at playing the saxophone since it is a subject I know quite well about. To form the basic embouchure for playing saxophone, place the tip of the mouthpiece about half an inch into your mouth. Rest your top teeth against the top of the mouthpiece and bring your bottom lip up against the mouthpiece. You are now ready to play saxophone notes. To form embouchure playing saxophone, tip of the mouthpiece into your mouth. top teeth top of the mouthpiece bottom lip against the mouthpiece. ready play saxophone notes. embouchure saxophone mouthpiece mouth. teeth mouthpiece lip ready play saxophone. play saxophone. LOL, it is just that simple! ? -
Sweet Creature
by @ammmybrookeee February 2, 2022Iām not sure why I chose this assignment. Iām not a big concert fan, but I will say after seeing so many TikToks of people at a Harry Styles concertā¦ I want to go. However, you will NEVER catch me paying that much money... -
Rosie, the hungry hungry hippo
by @ammmybrookeee February 2, 2022THIS ASSIGNMENT WAS PERFECT ā because I have the most sassy animals in the world. For a bit of background, my dog was playing at her doggie friends houseā¦ but as soon as food comes around youāre done. She will bark, and bark, and... -
Get over it, itāll all work out
I started looking up short poems, and nothing was calling my name for this assignment. But just as I was able to give up, I remembered the one saying that I always say. It may not be long, but honestly it has so much... -
1, 2, 3 catsā¦
For this assignment, I kind of wanted to switch it up a bit. I used an older photo, but I knew I had to use one where all my cats were in the same place. I find it funny how each of my cats... -
Julie Andrewsā¦ the animal whisperer
by @ammmybrookeee February 2, 2022I honestly just Googled āMovie Postersā to start this assignment. When I saw The Sound of Music, I knew it was perfect. Itās such a classic movie, and the movie poster could be made funny in so many different ways. Immediately when I saw... -
Were these taken from my iPhone or an old iPod? The world may never know
This was kind of funny to do. My photos look like a 10 year old took them on their iPod, but thatās what you have to do when youāre busy all day. I started at 8:31PM and finished at 8:46PM. 1. Doors can have...
