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.

I learned how to take motion pictures with a focused subject and a blurry background. I also learned what the best ISO and shutter speed should be set to for an even better photograph. Its important when taking a motion photograph, to pan with the object your moving with. This makes the object in focus and the background blurry.

If you get the f stop just right, you can have the light adjusted for the most perfect photo, and that's what really helped me the most to get these great photos.

I now know that i need to have a 10%-20% overlap on each photo I take for my shot, so that when i stitch it together it will be all even and I can line it up perfectly.

Gimp Pop Art

Gimp Pop Art Assignment

Photo 1- Pop art of me

I learned how to use gimp. I had no idea how to use any of this until now. I also learned how to make colorful pop art with gimp, as well as make it a different looking texture.

Why I chose black and white.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dogwatcher/3598245867/


I chose black and white because I like how it sets in with a photo. I think this photograph of the flamingo really portrays how black and white should be used. It shows how dramatic the photo is, where as if it was in color, it would not be as dramatic. It is not blurry and the composition is set just right, so it makes for a really good black and white photo.

I also learned how to take motion shots on my camera by changing the shutter speed, that either are still or show movement by being blurry. I learned how to use the AV and TV mode on my camera and which settings to go to.
