Double Exposure Photography Reflection Questions

1.) Out of the photos taken, although they both aren't good, I like the last one better because I just do.
2.) The weaker photo is obviously 2nd photo because I don't find it good enough.
3.) I can improve my shots by meeting the objective better and using a white/plain background.
4.) I used the app photoshop and the tools such as Black & White, levels, and the layer mask.
5.) The objective was to combine 2 or more images to make a new image.
6.) The easy part about this assignment was putting 2 photos together.
7.) The hard part about this assignment was finding the right way to put the photos.
8.) If I repeated this assignment, I would try to meet objective better and try to form images better.
9.) On a scale of 1-10 I would give myself a 5 because I could've done better.

Portrait Lighting Reflection Questions

1.) The best photo in this assignment was, in my opinion, was the split lighting photo because it was one of the easiest pictures to take and came out really nice.

2.) Personally, I think the weakest photo in this assignment was the broad lighting image because it just doesn't look right.

3.) The weakest photo can be improved by fixing the lighting and positions to fit the description of broad lighting.

4.) In this project, I used Photo Shop. The tools used for these photos were levels, black & white, color balance, vibrance, and brightness/contrast.

5.) I met the objective by demonstrating the 6 types of portrait lighting using other people as models.

6.) The easy part about this assignment was editing because I'm already educated to do so.

7.) The difficult part about this assignment was adjusting the lighting to catch the right lighting.

8.) If I were to repeat this project, something I'd do differently is try other positions and angles to achieve the different lighting.

9.) On a scale of 1-10, I would rate my work as 6 because I did not complete the loop or Rembrandt lighting.

Color Sampling Reflection Questions

1.) The best photo in this assignment would be the presents because I feel as though it's more appealing since it contains plenty of color and has good composition.

2.) The weakest photo in this assignment would be the makeup palette because I think the black case makes it bad by not being as colorful but it has a good angle.

3.) The weakest photo can be improved by finding a more colorful photo and adding more detail shown in the image.

4.) I used the app Photo Shop. The tools used were levels, black and white, and layer mask.

5.) I met the Objectives by learning how to edit color and practice color sampling in Photo Shop.

6.) The easy part about the assignment was taking photos because it was easy to find images full of color.

7.) The hard part about this assignment was editing because I had just learned how to edit and add layer mask and it kind of confused me at first.

8.) If I were to repeat this assignment I would look for more colorful images and find different things to take pictures of instead of the same thing

9.) On a scale of 1-10 I feel as though I did 7 because this assignment to me was pretty easy and simple.

Motion Reflection Questions

1.) The best shot at the moment in this assignment would be the photo of the food coloring in the cup because it was caught at just at the right time right before it spread in the water and it was clear and focused like a puff of smoke. 

2.) The weakest shot at the moment in this assignment would be my friend jumping because it doesn't look so clear and you can barely tell anything but once I finish the blurred motion, maybe I'll identify a weaker photo. 

3.) The weakest photo can be improved on by focusing and trying to catch it at the right timing before it can blur.

4.) I used the app "Photoshop". The tools I used were exposure, vibrance, levels, color balance, and brightness/contrast. 

5.) I met the objective by manipulating shutter speeds to create blurred and stop motion photos.

6.) The easy part of this assignment was editing because I found it easier than taking the photos since taking the photos required a lot of focus, stillness, and patience.

7.) The hard part of this assignment was taking the photos because I tried to find unique methods to represent stopped and blurred motion and it was hard to stay still, focus, and get the right photo. It was also hard to take photos of blurred motion. 

8.) If I did the project over again I would find more creative and unique methods to represent stop motion photos. I'd also take more time to get the photos right. As well as finding blurred motion photos.

9.) On a scale of 1-10, I'd give myself a 5 because I think I did about average and because I feel as though I did good on stopped motion not so much blurred motion. But I'm still gonna get blurred motion photos i just need the time to take them.

Depth of Field Reflection Questions

1.) The best picture in this assignment would be the can of soda because I think it was my best example of low depth. Overall, I think low depth was easier to represent compared to high depth.

2.)  The weakest photo would be the leaves. I feel as though it doesn't look like high depth as if it's just a photo.


3.) The weak photo can be improved by retaking the photos and focusing the camera while striving to the goal.



4.) I used Photoshop and the tools I used were brightness/contrast, levels, color balance, and vibrance.

5.)
The goal of this assignment was to take pictures of objects using different apertures and settings on the camera.


6.) The easy part about this assignment was editing because with my knowledge, it's fast and easy. Also finding examples of low depth.


7.) The hard part about this assignment was trying to find good examples of high depth because I struggled with high depth.


8.) If I were to repeat this project, I would take more photos and find better examples of high depth.


9.) On a scale of 1-10, I'd give my self a 6 because I put more effort in this than the last assignment but I feel as though I can do better.

Back Lighting Reflection Questions

1.) The best picture in this assignment would be the one at sunset because I personally like the colors and how the tree is placed on the left.

2.) The weaker shot of course would be the other photo where the sun is peaking out behind the trees. It's the weakest because I just don't like the way this came out. It looked more odd than the other.

3.) The weak photo(s) can be fixed in the future if I retake it and put more effort in the way I take pictures.

4.) I used Photo Shop and in Photo Shop i used the tools Color Balance, Levels, and Brightness and Contrast.

5.) I met the goal by taking photos of back lighting where the light is behind the object making it more focused on the silhouette.

6.) The easy part of the assignment was editing because I find it neat to edit know that I understand the controls and what looks good.

7.) The difficult part about the assignment is the taking pictures part. It was difficult because I had to go out at a certain time of day for the right lighting.

8.) I would take more pictures with more diversity so that my options are open.

9.) In this project I'd give myself a 4 because I didn't meet the goal of 30+ photos and giving myself options because I think I was lazy and tired this time around.
