Independant Projects

a) I'm proud that I've learned to use photoshop with ease, and it isn't that complicated anymore. My favourite is our 'Glowing Flower' picture.

b) I have learned to use the stamp tool, and adjusting colors to make it look more natural, or completely unnatural.

c) A challenge for me is trying to come up with cool, original ideas for editing the pictures.

d) This week I am going to work on building, and adding things in the Virtual World as soon as I get my avatar, that is.

Progress Report

I am doing photography and I have posted inspiration photographs. I have taken pictures and am going to work on photoshop with them.
I am learning that photoshop is a very exact thing, and is a little confusing to use.
I haven't had the greatest attendance lately, and I don't really know what to do most of the time.
I will continue to photoshop the pictures with my partner, Emma

Photoshop Inspiration

I like the close-up effect, and the detail. The raindrops look really awesome :)

I like the lighting and it looks cool.

It's up close and shows a lot of detail, almost like you can see the texture in a way.

I love the lighting effect, the contrast between the darker trees and the light around the water. Also, the trees look sharp, while the water looks softer.

The lighting looks really cool. I like how you can see the sun rays shine through the trees.

Self directed
-I struggle with strategic planning. I usually need help to start something, then I can go on by myself from there. I f I really need help, I'd ask a teacher or friend.
-I shine in engagement.

Self Directed Learning

I am a self directed learner because  I accomplished what I wanted without the teacher having to come by and help
