Photographing Water

 Station 1

1. Yes it was pretty easy to get a good shot because we just took a lot of shots while dropping the water and it gave us some good images.

2. I like shooting with flash because the images turned out well but you can't shoot as rapidly with flash.

 Station 2 (I liked both of these)

1. Yes it was easy to get a good shot because the colored water really popped and made for a cool image every time, also the colors slowly get incorporated into the water so you have time to take good shots.

2. I liked shooting without flash because we could take the shots quicker and get more interesting images.

 Station 3

1. No, it was pretty hard to get a good shot because of the lighting and the phone quality is not very good.

2. I didn't like shooting water with the burst mode because it was very difficult to get an image with good lighting where you can actually see the drops. 

 Station 4

1. No, because the lighting again was not ideal and the angles were awkward.

2. We had to get the image from a different angle because of the reflections and awkward lighting when shooting straight on. 

Artificial Motion

I think the image looks real because it isn't overly blurred but it still looks like there is some motion.

Happy Hops

Justin showed us how high he could get his leg when he jumped for joy in front of the camera. 

Green Screen

Original Green Screen  

End Product (Composite) 

1. The most difficult part of the project was making the lighting look right when taking the photos with the green screen.

2. I like how it is an unrealistic situation but it looks real.

3. I think that I could make the lighting of the two photos more similar to make it look more realistic.

Surreal Photography

1. I used the brush tool the most in photoshop.

2. I think the best part of the composition is the proportions, but they could be better.  

3. It was kind of difficult to combine multiple layers because of the different lightings and colors of the images. 

4. I could have blended them better and probably adjusted more to make it look more realistic. 

Landscape in a Bottle

1. I learned how to blend images together, how a clipping mask works and how to use some of the adjustment layers better like levels and hue/saturation.

2. My final file has 33 layers.

3. I liked this assignment because it was really interesting to see how these images that are used for advertising are created and how many steps it takes to make it.
