Reflection: Double Exposure Photography

1. The second photograph is the best shot of this assignment because the lines in between each layer is cleaner.
2. The first photograph is the worst shot of this assignment because the lines are not as clean in between the two layers.
3. The weakest image can be improved in future shots by me being more careful while editing.
4. I used Photoshop, specifically, layer mask, move tool, levels, opacity, and the brush tool.
5. Two images can be blended together to make one cohesive image by making sure the lines between the two pictures is clean.
6. Choosing pictures was the easiest part of this assignment because there were limited options.
7. Making the two pictures look like one was the most difficult part of this assignment because the opacity had to be just right and cutting through had to be pretty exact.
8. If I could do this assignment again I would take pictures of a landscape and edit that and a portrait photograph together.
9. On a scale of one to ten, ten being my best effort, I would give myself a four because I sort of rushed editing it because of the limited time left in the class.

Reflection: Six Types of Portrait Lighting

1. The short lighting picture is probably the best shot of the assignment because the lighting and editing is probably the best of the six.
2. The loop lighting image is the weakest shot of the assignment because it is barely loop lighting and sort of fuzzy.
3. The weakest image can be improved in future shoots by assuring the picture is clear before taking it and making sure the goal is reached more.
4. I used Photoshop, specifically brightness, contrast, levels, curves, exposure, offset, gamma correction, vibrance, saturation, and black and white.
5. I was able to meet the objectives (goals) of the assignment by taking photos of people with different lighting on their face. 
6. Taking pictures was the easiest part of the assignment because I did them in class. 
7. Picking the type of lighting was the hardest part of this assignment because it was difficult to determine which one is which.
8. If I could do this assignment again, I would take better pictures.
9. On a scale of one to ten (ten being my best effort), I would rate my effort on this project a seven because I took a lot of pictures in an effort to get the best photos for every lighting.

Reflection: Color Sampling

1. The color sample of the comic book flowers picture is the best shot of the assignment because it has good color on the most colorful parts of the original picture showing, which also happens to be the main subject.
2. The edit of the flower petals picture is the weakest shot of the assignment because it has funky coloring as the canvas looks blue and there is not much contrast.
3. The weakest image can be improved in future shots by adding more contrast and assuring that the colors look better.
4. I used Photoshop to edit the photos, specifically brightness, contrast, levels, curves, exposure, vibrance, hues, color balance, black and white, and sepia.
5. I was able to meet the objectives (goals) of the assignment by altering the color of the images by using a black and white or sepia filter, or actually adjusting the color.
6. Making the images black and white or sepia was the easiest part about this assignment because I just had to add a filter and adjust a few things.
7. Taking the pictures was the most difficult part of this assignment because I could not think of anything to take a picture of.
8. If I could do this assignment again, I would take different pictures.
9. On a scale of one to ten (ten being my best effort) I would give myself a six out of ten because I went to the store to get the pink flowers.

Reflection: Thanksgiving Photo Challenge

1. The sunflower photograph is the best shot of the assignment because it is clear and in focus.
2. The ornament photograph is the weakest shot of the assignment because it is boring.
3. The weakest image can be improved in future shots by picking stuff to photograph that is a little more interesting.
4. I used Photoshop to edit the pictures, more specifically brightness, contrast, levels, curves, exposure, hue, saturation, color vibrance, and vibrance.
5. I was able to meet the objectives of the assignment by taking photos over thanksgiving break.
6. Taking the photographs was the easiest part of the assignment.
7. Editing the coca-cola picture was the most difficult part of the assignment because of the lights.
8. If  I could dot his assignment again I would change the ornament image because I do not like it.
9. I would rate my effort on this assignment a 7 because it was a fairly easy assignment.
