Assignment 7- Still Life

For this assignment, I chose to shoot a still life photo. We had to take a photo of a subject that we arrange. We also had to edit our photos in photoshop.



ISO: 80
F stop: f/4
exposure: 1/320






This assignment taught me how to take a good still life photo. I learned how to arrange elements of a photo to make it a still life. I arranged my photo by putting rocks in the shape of a heart and added a flower in the middle. I also edited it in photoshop by adjusting the curves and levels which helped bring out the colors and made the texture pop. I think my photo turned out really well, and photoshop gave the colors and textures a unique contrast.

Photoshop dictionary assignment

For this assignment, we had to use photoshop to edit at least three photos into one photo. The photo had to relate to a word which was incorporated into the photo, along with its meaning. We had to make three photos, relating to three different words.



I used the words, sparkle, music, and luck for this assignment. It helped me to utilize and put to work all of the skills I learned in photoshop. I think each photo looks unique and helped me use all the photoshop tools I have learned about from other assignments. My only problem with the assignment was getting the text to show up and be readable over my backgrounds. But overall, I really liked this assignment.
