Wow what a week. I have not experienced too much of photoshop before but I sure did this week! All my daily creates can be found below: All my assignments and blogs for the week can be found at this link: http://mtomorgan.com/blog/category/week-4/ Overall, I learned a good bit about some of the visual editing software out there. I personally really […]
Above is my photo of a cat with a Shakespeare quote to go with it. As soon as I saw this quote I thought of the grumpy cat memes and it fits really well. I edited the photo on Canva to add the quote.
I saw the “Time of Day” (3.5 stars) assignment and thought that it would be a cool thing to try out. I love taking pictures of the woods in my backyard and love how the sun moves throughout the day and creates shadows on the trees. I took these pictures at 6am, 12pm, 4pm , and 8pm. Throughout […]
Above is my fun little golf camp poster. I made it on Canva using a simple template and it turned out to be fun. My mom and I have really got into golfing and I wish I would have started earlier. Its a fun and relaxing way to get out of the house and still maintain some sort of social […]
I think this message is important because we need not to repeat the bad things in history, only the good. I hope in the future we can rally together and fight against all of the bad things in the world and strive to achieve peace.
I would like to put out there first that I have no prior experience with any editing software other than Lightroom. This was a new experience for me. Above is my photo making everything grey except for one main subject. I actually took this picture from my photo blitz blog here: Photo Blitz This was a fun experience as I […]
For the “Pop Star out of Place” (3.5 stars) I had fun editing my favorite celebrities in locations on campus! I am a big fan of Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet and I think they would really enjoy dining at UMW. In these pictures you can see Harry grabbing some lunch at the UC and Timothée waiting in […]
Week four is complete! This has probably been my favorite week so far. I really enjoyed diving a little deeper into the world of photography and photo editing. Like I said in one of my assignments this week, I haven’t been able to be as creative as I’d like to be due to school and […]
Connecting to the theme of my story I thought I would complete the “Create a Silly Movie Poster” visual assignment (3.5 stars) because I love movies (especially old movies). During quarantine one of my favorite things to do is watch old movies with my family. I love Casablanca, Notorious , and Sabrina. I think that watching movies is […]
My family must have thought I was crazy- frantically running around the house taking photos. I managed to take all of the photos assigned to me in the “Photoblitz” assignment. I took the picutures and edited some afterwards. It was hard to get mindful pictures in 20 minutes but I tried my best! Start time: List: “Get closer […]
When I was little, I used to watch The Sound of Music all the time. The image of Maria spinning in the field with the mountains in the background is burned into my brain. I decided to use this as inspiration for my take on the Colorize It assignment. The assignment tasks you with colorizing…
This week I had a lot of fun tweeting visual daily creates!This week I had a lot of fun tweeting visual daily creates! My favorite daily create-tweet involved altering a famous painting. I decided to alter “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” by Georges Seurat. This painting came to mind because I love the impressionism […]
Everyone who knows me knows I love cats. I really do. I always get cat-themed gifts and people send me cat pictures, and I take pictures of my own cats constantly. That’s why when I found the Your Love for Your Pet assignment, I was sold. The task was to create a collage of pictures…
Week four was a little rough for me. The family that I work for came down with COVID, and I was exposed before the other caregiver, so I have had to double my hours while experiencing COVID symptoms. It has not been easy and the end does not seem to be near. Because of this,… Continue reading Week Four Summary
I HATE PHOTOGRAPHY. I hate taking pictures and most importantly I had when people take pictures of me, so this week was definitely a challenge. First, we had to do a photoblitz. Even though it was only twenty minutes, it took me almost an hour to find a list of things that I actually could …
Assignment I’m not afraid to admit that my best friend is my cat, Narancia AKA Nara. I take way too many pictures of her, so what better way to put them to use than by doing the Your love for your pet assignment? Behind the Work I adopted my cat, Narancia, on June 5, 2020. […]
Pay Attention to the Moment This photo was taken while my boyfriend and his little brother were sledding down a hill. I knew I needed to document this in a photo because his little brother is very unsure about the snow, so the fact that he was really enjoying it this year could be a… Continue reading How I’m Becoming a Better Photographer
You guys have heard me mention The Vampire Diaries before, and here I go again! For The Civil War Photo assignment, you’re supposed to take a picture of yourself and then edit it to look like it could have been taken during the Civil War era. This sounded like a lot of fun to me…
Although most of my friends growing up were very into photography, with fancy cameras and Tumblr/VSCO pages, I was never very interested in it. I think it is because I have never been confident in myself or the things that I create. I felt that I couldn’t photograph anything main-stream or popular or I would… Continue reading Week Four Thoughts
Assignment For my second visual assignment this week I chose Splash The Color: “Color splash is a technique to emphasize details- you remove all color from a photo, and then restore original color to a single object, e.g. a green apple on a table. Think of the Girl in the red dress from Schindler’s List.” […]
For this assignment I’ve returned back to trusty Firealpaca to do some photo editing! The goal of this assignment was to take a black and white photo and restore the color back to something in it. I’ve always liked photos that use this kind of technique. I think it’s a really interesting way to make […]
