I learned how to take macro photographs. At first I had a really tough time adjusting to what settings and being able to even take the picture. But I found out how far away to position the camera from the object so that it wouldn't be blurry or not enough in detail. I also learned what ISO and aperture to use.

Gimp Portrait Assignment



Gimp Portrait-
Photo of: Karyssa Witzig.

I learned how to take amazing portrait photographs. I know that to get a great photo, you should have the depth of field very blurry and the person in focus. Also, you should have the background evenly spread out around their shoulders and face. The portrait should be flattering and I chose to make it flattering by cropping it at the waist. I learned how to edit the portraits in Gimp, and make it so the photographs had a white background to frame it.
