Last name assignment!

This is the last Homework assignment for the name project. 4 more pictures are due Monday + Tuesday whichever day you have this class. If you would like to be homework free for the weekend come in during EO on Thursday morning or if you have class Thursday show me then. Wouldn't that be much easier anyways! I hope everyone enjoys this short day at school!

This tutorial is a little bit different than the beginning tutorial I showed in class on selective cororing. This image starts with a black and white photo. You then are able to choose the color and opacity and make your photo exactly the way you want it. This would be a fun idea for your NAME project.

Cutting out an image tutorial

This tutorial adds on to what you have already learned with our last tutorial. Once you have learned how to cut out an image there are a million ways you can change your photo. Take one of your images and follow along on this tutorial.

*** Even though this image is talking about hair, it pertains to most other objects as well. Make sure to follow all his steps exactly!




This second video shows you how to do the same thing a few different ways. The music in the background makes it a bit harder to understand.

Depth of Field PS Tutorial

Do you want to give your photos a shallow depth of field? Check out these tutorials on how to do that. Each tutorial shows you a different way to edit your picture. Take a look at both. You'll want to use them each for differnt pictures and differnt times. 

Sept. 20th + 21st Photo 1 assignment

The NAME Project

We are starting a new assignment. You will be spelling you name using natural objects you see around you. You must use your first name. No nicknames.

A few things about the assignment...

1. The letters you photograph must be "nautrally occurring" This means you cannot break a tree branch and spell out all the letters in your name. This is not natural.

2. You may not create the letters.

3. You may not take pictures of letters. No taking photos of billboards or signs zooming in on certain letters!


What is due for the 22nd and 23rd?

You must take 3 photos of any letters in your name. Since I am only assigning 3 instead of 12 I expect you to put some thought into your pictures. Always photograph things that interest you. I want to be able to learn about you when I see the photos of your name! So put some thought and energy into this assignment and come ready and prepared for Thursday and Friday!

If you have any questions please stop by my room or email me at chshaum@wsd.net

Adobe Photoshop Beginning Tutorials

We are starting to get into photoshop a little more now. First you need to learn about Photoshop tools and how to use them correctly. To get started go to this website and watch some tutorials. Once you get to the website you will see at the top of the page the words "Getting Started." Under Getting Started you will see the words, Setup, Overview, and Tutorials. Under "Tutorials" there will be a link to click on. Click on it.

This will take you to a new page where there will be links to lots of tutorials. You DO NOT have to watch the first 2 tutorials. Start where it says GS-01. After you watch the first tutorial click on the next tutorial and keep watching.

*** While you are watching you should be working with you image in Photoshop! When the tutorial does a step pause the video and complete the exact same step you just saw. Even though the tutorials may only be 1 minute long, you should be watching it and learning with it for at least 5 minutes until you have mastered the skill. If you are watching these at home and you do not have Photoshop take notes instead. That way when you come to class and you need to work on your photo you have step by step intstructions to help you if you forget. Beleive me, it's hard to remember every step. You will need to take notes!

Good luck and have fun!
