    Becoming a Better Photographer – Evaluation and Tips

    by
    After reading the article, I started to think about the actual concepts that make up a photo instead of the story that I am looking at. While the story is important, I feel like you are able to see the context of the story and understand the story itself more when these aspects of photography … Continue reading Becoming a Better Photographer – Evaluation and Tips

    Averaged Portrait

    by
    For this assignment, it was stated to take a bunch of pictures and overlay them with one another. Recently when I went to a rainforest when I was in Washington State, my girlfriend and I took a bunch of pictures most of them being silly because that is what we are when we are together. This was a very simple, funny, easy, assignment! I hope yall enjoy my sillygoofymood picture!

    Let’s all party like it’s 1699!

    by
    This was a fun assignment! I got to listen to some music I hadn’t heard in a long time, and I learned another neat trick with editing GIFs. The project asked me to find a musician I like and make a GIF of one of their music videos. I wanted to make this post a follow-up to the animals’ post I made earlier! So the trick to this assignment was to find the video itself, which was not that hard. YouTube again failed me as they did not want me to download videos; however, I am including a link to…

    Is the Internet for anything other than animal videos?

    by
    I was tasked with finding videos of animals doing funny things and converting them to a GIF for this assignment. The process was simple once I found a good source for some videos. I started by using a program called youtube-dl, but I was unsuccessful with that method. YouTube makes it a bit hard to download their videos, it seems. So the next step was to try and find a reliable source to download some animal videos. I found this great source. They have lots of stock photos and videos for free. The next step was to find a GIF…

    “A picture is worth a thousand words”

    by
    I have some experience taking photos, but it has been a long time since I have tried to perfect my technique. I remember in high school a photography class, and my favorite part was developing the film. I thought the process had a magical quality (minus the smell). Now I rarely take photos, my reasons for this are two things. I do not have a nice camera to take pictures with, I prefer to use SLR cameras, and two, having the convenience of a camera built into the smartphone has taken away some of the fun aspects that photography as…

    A Dorm Room Exposition

    by
    These were the tasks I was given: I stayed in my dorm room and completed the challenge in 8 minutes. I will let you decide if I did a good job or not. I was nervous about this assignment, my photography skills or lack-thereof making the tasks seem daunting, and my seeming lack of interesting […]

    Contradicting Thought???

    by
    Can’t decide which direction to go? Can’t remember which direction you went? Lost in a maze? There are many contradicting thoughts that occur almost every single day. Personally, I am not very good directionally speaking so I constantly ask myself which way did I come from or which way should I go. In my head, … Continue reading Contradicting Thought???
