360 pic #3


This is also from a photographer I just edited it for practice because I didn't have my pics. I noticed that I didn't fix the parts where it extends.

360 pic #2


This is another from a photographer. I edited the middle, but it doesn't look that great. Then I edited the side because they were extended, but I just realized that I missed the two side at the top.

360 pic #1


This is a picture that a photographer did. I'm doing this for practice since I didn't have my pictures. I edited the middle because it was pinched.

Web Assignment #5

1. How I would define beauty in photography is how high resolution of a picture and how defined  pictures can be with the color. Also how there can be a meaning to the picture and mostly involves nature. For me sometimes how the subject/object is blacked out and there's a colorful background or the other way around.

2. Characteristics of photographic beauty would be the actual color of the and the position you take the picture of something. Also how something stands out to you that you would think is beautiful.

3. I would think that something "ugly" was photographed and can be considered beautiful.

Why: Maybe because of how the subject/object that was taken wasn't so awesome looking, but the background or something else in that picture made up for it. Or how you edit it can change the way you look at it.

Example: A picture of an ugly dog with all of its slobber and grossness all up in your face, but there's a a nice and defined background with the grass and flowers popping out because you're taking picture of your dog hopping around a field.

Mocha drink macro 10


This was taken around 4 when I was going to portland. I love this drink, it's so good. Uh I blurred the background to focused on the drink more. I like how you can see the bubble things in the drink how you can see that clearly.

Justin Bieber ticket macro 9


This is taken the day after the concert after school maybe around 5 ish. I like how I blurred out the other things and focused on his name, place, and time and all that good stuff. I felt like it looked plain if I didn't blur. 

Grass macro 8


This was taken when we went outside in the morning. I like how you can see most of the water drops and how I blurred the side of it. I enhanced the greens and yellows 

Bow macro 7


This was also taken a couple of classes ago when we were allowed to go outside. I like how focused it's on the back of her head and how you can see a little bit of the background and it was already blurred.

Water bottle macro 6


This was taken a couple classes ago in the morning when we were allowed to go outside a take some pictures. I like how you can see the water particles in the bottle. I darkened the contrast of the paper part of it. I also like the detail in the dents areas everywhere.

Candle macro 5


This was taken around 6 yesterday or a couple day ago. I guess the camera focused on the light which made the background dark. I enhanced the flame of the candle a little. I like how the flame of it gets thinner at the top and how I managed to get a dark background. 

Soda can macro 4


This was taken in the morning at the beach. I love how it just focused more onto the can than the background, but I did blur out the background more. I like how I darkened the contrast some and brightened that lemon part. 

My little pup macro 3


      This is of my baby dog Sammie :] it was taken around 3:30 after school. I darkened his natural color a little more and he's a brilliant model. I liked how smooth his fur looks and everything else.

Sunflower Macro 2


This was taken by my neighbors house around 4. I was surprised how great of a picture it was considering I took it from my camera. I changed the color of the flower to be a little more brighter and blurred the background some more. 

Macro flower 1


This was taken at the rose garden and I took this picture from my mom's iphone around 2 in the afternoon. I really like how the iphone takes better pictures than my camera. I also like how vibrant the color was already, but I edited it a little more.
