This week was really productive because I got to take plenty of pictures and use the tips from the articles...

For this assignment I was to recreate a famous movie scene. I decided to go with the shower scene from psycho for a couple of reasons. I wanted to use a black and white movie so i could play with shadows when taking the photo. I feel like this scene is so classic that most … Continue reading "Recreate A Famous Movie Scene"

For this part of the weeks assignment we were supposed to find photos that show the different points from  Becoming Better Photographers and analyze them. Selection: I chose this image of a farm in front of the mountains. My dream is to have a functioning horse rescue farm and I love the mountains. The photographer of this ...

For this assignment I took a close up photo of something. Can you guess what it is? https://www.flickr.com/photos/146646806@N07/29723605205/in/dateposted-public/

One of the assignments that caught my eye was strikingly simple.  Pick a bad photo, apply a vintage effect, and write something in helvetica.  It seemed like a brilliant way to highlight how easy it is to make something inspiring.  Just make it look like it was meant to have poor quality!  The photo I chose […]

The purpose of this assignment was to take a photo and use lighting and blur to render it unrecognizable. If a picture of a person…

For this assignment (entitled That’s Not What I Expected), I was tasked with taking a close-up picture of an object, while leaving that object a…

For this assignment I couldn’t take a self with my dog because she hates to be picked up but I did the next best thing, I held her as she tried to escape my love. I had my friend take several photos but this is the best one.

★★★☆☆ I remember seeing this forum game years ago where you’d get some a band name from the title of a Wikipedia article, an album title from the last few words from a random quote on a quotes website, and an album coverfrom the popular images on an image hosting site....

Despite some of the frustrations with GIMP, I still wanted to experiment some more with it.  I liked the idea of trying to make a drawing from a photo.  The photo I selected was the first Wonder Woman promo photo released on Gal Gadot’s twitter.  Being as her character is fairly ancient, it would be […]

The image of Jim Groom on a Wanted poster naturally caught my eye as I was searching through visual assignments.  This interest was only magnified by reading the description.  Essentially I could pick a favorite character and try to describe her as a villain.  I immediately jumped to the idea of using Xena.  While clearly […]

I didn’t know how hard it would be to purposely take a bad photo.

You know a remix to a song, well, here is a remix to a picture! Here is a color changer picture of  the University of Mary Washington’s Anderson Center. For people, who are not familiar with the color scheme of UMW, their school colors are; red, white, navy blue, and gray. The building at UMW … Continue reading “Exciting, Electric, Flavorful Views…”

Have you heard of  pets that graduate? Well my creativeness incorporated a dog getting ready for pet graduation. Unfortunately, this dog was the only pet that graduated in the year of 2016-2017. If you would like to bring your pet to school here is the link to get started on how to do this: (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/bring-your-pet-to-school/) … Continue reading “Graduation Dog?”

Another tough week. I’ve been have lots of life events recently, so it’s been hard to keep up with my schoolwork, but I did it! I loved all the photography this week; it’s one of my favorite interests. I got better at commenting and responding to comments on my own blog this week, but I’m […]

I tried to find example of every talking point of Becoming Better Photographers, which was a challenge. Here’s what I found (click on each photo to go to the photo credit): Selection Contrast Perspective Depth Balance Moment Lighting Foreground/background

Here is a good example of perspective. As you look at the picture you see a guy and at first it looks like he standing sideways. Different perspectives and angles can falsely assume something for what it actual is.  Different views can make a photo unique by how creative you can get with a photo.

I love photography. I actually have been meaning to get more into it for a while now. I have been told I have a good eye for photography, meaning I can set up a shot well and take nice photos. I don’t take a lot of photos currently, but I am looking to do a […]

This has been my favorite week in ds106 so far! I think photography is fun and I loved doing all the assignments. One of my favorites is the daily creates which is what I tackled first this week. @ds106dc Today's daily create is this big pile of 12 books. #tdc1709 pic.twitter.com/7RSpxcYD2O — Matthew Froelich (@FroelichMatthew) … Continue reading Week Three Summary →

Today’s Daily Create had us create an imaginary musical manuscript. I know how to read music so this was pretty simple for me. I used the demo version of a software called Noteflight which let me create a simple two measure song. There is a hidden joke in it, I wonder if anyone can guess what […]

I’m finally getting better at this thing called Twitter. September 11th will never get easier for us as a country. What I experienced as a child will be merely taught as a history lesson to today’s children.. #tdc1708 @ds106dc forever we remember. ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Hbv2NxFyda — Amber (@amberrlynn0810) September 12, 2016 What would you choose as ...

We typically use light to illuminate a subject. Take a photo of a light source. Take a picture that emphasizes...

  For this week I started out with my Photo reflections and how I could become a better photographer. I had been putting some thought into this over the summer and reading a little bit more, so wrapping it up in a blog post was enjoyable. I think that the sources that were provided for … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"

I started my photoblitz at 9:36. My first task was to take a picture of an interesting body of water. I didn’t really have a body of water in the vicinity that I could reach in twenty minutes so I took an up close picture of my faucey running into my sink. I tried to … Continue reading Photoblitz →

For this assignment, I wanted to recreate the famous leaning tower of Pisa. You know, when the tourists stick out...
