gimp 4: School

In the fourth assignment we had to take a picture of the school, and transform it somehow. I took a picture of the windows and added gumballs to it, I needed around 5 layers, and used many things such as the eraser, free select tool, and many more.

Motion Blur

ISO: 80
Fstop: 8
Shutter Speed: 1/80

In this assignment I learned how to take a picture of something moving, but make it look still and make the background look like it is moving. As Mr. OD was riding his motorcycle we took the picture but moved along with the camera at the same time.

Panoramic Project

For this assignment we took 3 pictures and combined them together to make it look like one long picture. We used gimp for this project. In order to put the pictures together you need to take 10 percent of the other picture and overlap the two, and then you do the same with the third picture. I used the blending tool to blend the pictures together but I also used the eraser.

Photo Assignment 2: Nature

This week I choose to take nature pictures. It was perfect because it was a nice day out, and because summer is starting to show. These photo's were taken in my yard.

Gimp Car

In this assignment we were given a picture and told to make it look professional, so we used gimp to edit the picture and make it look nice.

In this assignment I learned how to use gimp in so many new ways. I learned how to make the background black, use different types of levels and to use the clone tool. This assignment really helped me learn how to edit, and how to do it in a more professional way.
