Mid-Term

There are two large assignments that are the base of our grade for my Photography class. The first being a mid-term assignment. It consisted of taking 500 photos demonstrating Shutter Speed, Aperture, Lighting, and Framing. Then we were to select the best 5 of each group, edit and present to the class. I've included each theme of photos as separate blogs.

First Photoshop Edit-August 31, 2011

Really enjoying Photoshop CS5, my current editing software consists of the free Picassa. For it's price, its great! Photoshop however, is amazing! I'm also starting to lean towards purchasing a Mac. The second class consisted of learning how to use Photoshop Bridge to retrieve our photos and then some free time messing around with Photoshop CS5. Here is what I was able to come up with on my own as far as using Photoshop is concerned, lol, I found the B/W option!!!
