2 Experimental Images (Assignment 1)

For my first experimental image, I used the image we took with Photobooth during class and one of my favorite images so far for this assignment (from UT's campus).

For the next experimental image, I used two different images I've taken for this project. I used one image of myself to get some practice working with those kind of images.

5 Edited Images (Assignment 1)

Most of these pictures actually came from Labor Day Weekend, as I was camping with my girlfriend and I got the opportunity to get some really nice shots of nature and animals. I actually took the first four images with her phone, as mine had died during the walk we were taking. That being said, her phone is a HTC One A9 Android, and produces pictures at 1,080 px X 1,919 px, or roughly 2 megapixels. The last image (stop sign) was one that I took during the class photography exercise. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx Android, and produces pictures at 2,448 px X 3,264 px, just a tiny bit under 8 megapixels. So far, here are my 5 favorite photographs after editing:

Point, Line & Plane Photos

These pictures were all taken during the class photography exercise on September 5th, 2017. Here are my works after editing:

These first four images were my best captures of "point":

The next four were images that I took that show "line":

Finally, these last four are the images that I took for "plane":

"No One Cares What You Had for Lunch" - Response

Blogging is one of those things that I never fully understood. Whenever I heard about blogging, I honestly thought about exactly the opposite of what these first two chapters present. I figured blogs were simply for people to ramble about their day or their life, so I was actually pretty intrigued when I saw that the title of the book was “No One Cares What You Had for Lunch.” That being said, the first two chapters really taught a lot about blogging. I can see where writer’s block for blogging can come from, since you can literally discuss, explain, rant, tell stories, make fiction, or say anything you want on a blog. All in all, I think that these first two chapters really provided some honest and credible suggestions for creative blog posts.
