What I learned: I learned that You could have a couple different textures to a picture and It would still look good. You can match up the texture of the subject and the background. If you over-expose the picture it makes the image look smooth and relaxed. If you under-expose the image looks serious and draws attention to the light part.

I also learned, You could pose really crazy and have the picture still look good. I think it would be really fun to go out and take pictures of the culture around me! I really think the shadows look cool. I think the shadow is even more eye-catching than the actual subject is sometimes. I thought that the movement picture was really cool. Even if you can't see the subject very well, it still looks really cool. I really like the serious pictures. I learned that you don't always have to have something cheery in you photo.

What I learned: I learned how to make the image smaller using preview. It really helped because the image was way too big to be put in pixelmator. I learned different editing tools on pixelmator and Iphoto. Mostly on Iphoto. I learned to change the contrast, Saturation, highlights and shadows! It was really fun. I also learned what a vignette was. It's a shadow around the edges.

My second article I read is composition. I got confused in the beginning because I didn't know what the rule of thirds are. I kept on reading and I started to understand what he/she was talking about. The first step was really easy to understand. I got it right off the bat.

Number two I got confused on. One because it said the picture was balanced but it didn't look like it. but I got the balanced color part. number three I got it because it was kind of like the first article that we read. number four was really easy to wrap my mind around because the lines did give depth. I can imagine it and see it in other pictures. Number five I got because you just need to ask yourself what your doing and what could make it better.

the first article was beginning photography. I thought that it really did make a difference if you were standing really close and really far away. The trick he taught him to tilt the camera a little bit down was really cool. I think it is really fun to see the differences when you make one thing in focus in one picture and the whole picture in focus on the other.

I thought it was really cool how he could tell someone that much in so little time. I thought the way he showed the guy with the examples was really helpful (at least to me it was). I like how he explained what he was doing wrong and what he could do to make it better. I thought it was nice of him to help the guy. I thought the tips that he gave were important for anybody.
