First of all,I change the brightness and contrast and I tried to play with the colors of the photos.I learned to use photoshop, to edit my website and to take good photos.In my opinion the hardest part is to edit the photos in the right way, because they have to look like natural.
UNIT 3 LIGHT PAINTING
How were you able to capture a light trail? Explain the camera settings.
At first you change the kind of shoot, to "one shoot", then you change the number to 600, and finally you choose how many time you want to have to draw.Also you choose some dark place to take the photo and you start to create it!
Express your deeper meaning and vision for your final image.
My deeper meaning is the nature, things that not the human created.In this case are a fish and a star.
List and elaborate on which art elements and principles of design you utilized in your photograph.
I used a cell phone light and the dark room of class.
Explain an area you feel is successful, and why.
The photos are worse than I expected actually, but I think you can see what it is the object that I drew, so they are not too bad.
Explain an area that has room for growth, and why.
I think I have to improve the objects or the way to take the photos, be more original, it is too simple.
UNIT 4 ExquisiteCorpse
In this unit I learned a lot of things. In the first place a new type of art, before this project I did not know anything this type of edits. Also I learned to change the settings of the camera and take photos in a focus way. In the other hand I learned more about Photoshop that it is so cool, however was so difficult for me figured out how to use it and do a good work. I really like this type of photos and edits
UNIT 5 MOVEMENT
UNIT 6 GIF
I tried to do funny GIFS, some funny routines. I took the pictures in the hall of the high school, the first GIF in the second floor next to the library and the other GIF in the first floor next to the gym. For improve my progress in this unit I think I should change the place, something more natural and better light, and be more original. I really enjoyed this unit.
FINAL PROJECT
My theme is "hakuna matata", from the film "The Lion King", and one of the meanings is enjoy de life, happiness and relationships. I think is super important enjoy our time and have fun, because the life is too short for be upset or sad. We should look more the positive side of the things, remember every moment in where you are happy and having a good time, and what better than doing it with photos? Also, is more natural and pretty the instantaneous photos, where you do not know that someone is taking a picture of you, because usually we try to "look good" when someone is going to take a picture of us, when you are one hundred times better in a natural way. I choose this theme, because I identify myself with it, I hate be sad or upset, so always if is something wrong I try to look the positive side of it. Also I love the feeling when you are laughing that much, that you have an stomachache or when you are laughing about anything and you forget the problems during that period of time. In case of dogs, they are transmitting happiness and enjoying the time. I think is a good theme because is you can take lots of differences types of photos, in lots of different places and about lots of different things, so you just have to try to be most original as you can,so is a challenge for me. I hope you like the pictures and that you could see the message in them.

UNIT 10
At the beginning, it was so hard for me to edit the pictures because i never did this before,and also I did not take the pictures in the right way. When I finally got it I really like how the pictures finally look. I think is a really fun unit and a really useful practice for know more about photoshop.
UNIT 11
UNIT 12
UNIT 13 FINAL
FINAL PROJECT
My goal for this project was show people and their identity, I used the black and white effects to reflect that sometimes people look one thing but you do not know anything about their identity. As I said, I played with the colors to give a contrast with the people and the background or the details of each person.Edit my pictures was my biggest challenge because It was so difficult for me to select all of the details.My biggest success was that I actually could edit them and do something original with them.My theme is identity and It shows how people are, how people transmit happiness and how people identify theirselves.
