This week, I shot architecture. I went downtown Saline, and found the best looking structures there. A majority of my pictures come from a church tower, as it produced beautiful images. I really wanted to use the dry brush filter on my architecture pictures to make them look like paintings, but none of them had a wide enough view to create this effect. Anyways, I had fun going out downtown and shooting some pictures, and I learned that pictures from below look really cool, and make the subject look bigger. Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/320 ISO: 100
Edits: Increased: contrast, highlights, whites, and clarity Decreased: temperature, exposure, shadows, and blacks Photoshop: a little background removal

For this assignment, we were thrown out into the wild to look for our own photoshop tutorial. Almost immediately, I came across the official adobe webpage with some pretty cool tutorials. The one I used had me make a photo look like a painting. Here is the before: Then, after using the dry brush filter and an increase in saturation, this is the result: This tutorial can be found here. It's cool, and I will definitely try to use it in a future photo assignment. However, this tutorial took me about 2 minutes, and we had two days for this assignment, so I chose a new tutorial. This one had me turn a daytime picture into a nighttime one. Here is the before picture: This tutorial can be found here. In this tutorial, I mostly used the curves layer adjustment. While this isn't really something that I would do for one of my own photo assignments, it did teach me some important photoshop skills such as layer masking. I also put a moon in there for added effect.
This week I shot food. I was planning to shoot architecture, but then I fell sick and lost all motivation to go outside. So, I ended up shooting food, one of the assignments that can be shot inside. The food assignment was basically just still life with food, so none of this was very new. These are not my best pictures, but I plan on making up for it next week when I hopefully feel better.Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/20 ISO: 800
