http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/splash-the-color/ I always have fun with these Splash of Color assignments. It is so cool to take a photo that is in black and white, and add a burst of color to it. Your eyes just zone in on the color when you look at it, which is pretty powerful. I got help from this ...
Ohhh those Fat Cats. They are something else. Funny, adorable, obese… Anyways, I decided to throw my hand in at trying this assignment. I started by uploading both photos into photoshop: 1) the Alexandre Cabanel work of art, 2) the fat cat picture. I left the piece of art as it was, and went right ...
Caught my buddy Daniel Zimmerman off guard here. His blog is linked here: http://danielzimmerman.net . I love to joke around with him, known him for a while. Sometimes he takes it better than other times :p. Anyways, I used the site cheezburger.com to make this meme. I took the photo with my iPhone 4s. Figured I ...
I choose to do this in my house. The reason, you ask? It’s simple really… Anywhere else just seems impractical at this hour! (I mean… err… for the challenge of it!) As someone who does not pride themselves in photography I have ...
I saw this assignment and saw a really awesome opportunity. I figured I would use one of my photos that I was less fond of, and incorporate it into an assignment. I figure it is best to make use of it rather than be ashamed of it. So I went and found a tutorial on ...
Hot Sauce :p My inspiration for doing this assignment was pretty simple. I have a bottle of hot sauce that my roommate brought back for me from Cozumel. It is the BOMB, for sure! I picked it up from my desk and decided to photograph it. I used Photoshop CS6 to manipulate the filters in ...
I would have to start off by saying thanks for the extra credit opportunity that was posted on Twitter. I am not much of a Twitter person and to get rewarded for utilizing the site and a big thumbs up … Continue reading →
I chose to do the image with a message assignment found at http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/image-with-a-message-2/ I found this to be a little more challenging to think of because I was so stuck on the idea of the light bulb with a Thomas Edison quote … Continue reading →
I chose to do the Common everyday object that we manipulate the color on which is found at http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/common-everyday-object-2/ I wanted to think of something different to do with this photo beside posting a photo of my household appliances or … Continue reading →
For this assignment we were to celebrate our 106ness by locating something showing the numbers 106. The original assignment can be found at http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/illustrate-106/ I was thinking of things that would have 106 in them and it dawned on me that 106 is something that I see everyday since my local radio station is 106.5 the beat. I had ...
I have never done anything like this before and I would see this effect and thought to myself how cool is that. My inspiration is simple and like always my child… he makes me smile when I am down and naturally he is the only thing in my cellphone lol!!! I used some online photo ...
This week was so much fun. Â I loved taking all the pictures and playing with them with all sorts of different software. Â This was probably my favorite week all in all because for once I didn’t have any trouble with … Continue reading →
I was trying my hardest to be excited this week about the daily create selections but I was stomped when it came to finding a bald headed person in my life and I was amazed at how I don’t hardly know any. You can never have too much yellow is so true.  I was looking at this assignment and ...
This is one of my favorite pictures. Â Some friends and I were going skiing at Whitetail Ski Resort in Pennsylvania. Â We took a break at the top of the mountain to take a few pictures, including this one. Â As you … Continue reading →
Resources: This week we had a lot of new resources provided to us for photography. I found most of them very useful when I was doing my Visual Assignments and even my Daily Creates. I downloaded a lot of new … Continue reading →
I am not very good at modifying photos unfortunately. Â That is probably the big take away I had from this week. Â Gimp and I do not get along. Â I need to learn how to better modify my pictures and adjust … Continue reading →
yeah, my room has anti-gravity properties, its pretty sweet I must say. Â The only problem is that sometimes the blood rushes to my head… My roommates hand, nothing super special, but he likes to think he’s swole…lol Who’s ever seen … Continue reading →
Wow how can I start to describe this project? As I read the directions for this assignment I thought that I was going to nail it but when my 20 minutes started it was like my creative mine drew a blank. I chose to do my blitz at home which is the only place that ...
This week we looked at photography and improving our own photography. We were given some tips from TEN which is a PDF which gives tips on how to take better pictures. One tip I really appreciated is understanding your lens, I use the camera on my phone so I can’t switch it out for a ultra zooming or wide angle lens or whatever else kinds of things they have for photography, I’m not a photographer. I noticed the that as I moved my camera closer in the pictures I took began to look grainy even though the iPhone camera is pretty decent. it can only get but so close before losing quality. I tried playing … Continue reading →
PHOTO BLITZ. put as simply as possible, run around a room with a camera and take interesting pictures (there were some Ideas of what to take pictures of). These are the 5 pictures that I felt were the best… I did this in my room because I figured it was the area that had the most stuff to get ideas from. It’s fairly messy right now though but that just lets me see everything to give me ideas for pictures (that’s a good justification isn’t it?). I really had some fun with the Extreme angle shots which seemed to be my favorite photos, at least seemed like the ones that … Continue reading →
Argh! Portraits galore was this week! Never have I ever had to take so many pictures in such a little time constraint than what was asked of me during the DS106 Photoblitz, but after reviewing tips on how to become … Continue reading →
Week number 5! This week was way more photo based. I never took so many pictures in my entire life. I started out the week reading a little bit about photography and what makes a good picture. This really got … Continue reading →
This week I did three various daily creates…. trying to be as creative as possible. Abstract Animal:Â This daily create asked for an abstract drawing of my favorite animal. I chose to do an abstract drawing of a dolphin. Dolphin’s have … Continue reading →
Before I go into this blitz set, I should mention that it was not a good idea to shoot this at night. Â My camera’s flash is not powerful enough to lighten many of the photos. Â Still, I was in a … Continue reading →
Daily Creatr This week it was rough to get in my three. Â For some reason I just couldn’t bring myself to post anything I did and if I did finally get to the point of wanting to post it, it was a new day. Â I liked the drawing ones, again, probably because I stink at ...
(From Create a New You assignment:Â Take an existing photo of yourself, and edit in a way to give the picture a different look. Color your hair, change your eyes, whiten your teeth, get a “tan”, etc. 2-stars) I’ve always wanted a different look. Â For a while it was deep blue eyes, sometimes it was hazel, ...
I simplified my colors to emphasize the emotions. At first, the Kicker is sick and green with anticipation, showing that he has no confidence in his kick, and then he misses and he’s blue with disappointment.
My niece started crawling recently, as well as pulling herself up onto to things and “standing.” it’s so cute I couldn’t stop taking pictures and sending them to her momee, who probably hated me at the time cause her phone must...
