2. Photographs In our photography class, we learned that there is more to a photograph than just snapping a picture with a camera. You can adjust shutter speed, aperture and other camera settings to get the style of photograph you want. You can also edit your photographs in Photoshop if you do not like them, or to add some finesse.

3. Photoshop Tutorials These are step by step walkthroughs made to get a novice Photoshop user acquainted with the program and complete specific styles of photographs for knowledge. We were taught to cut out a subject and paste it onto a different background, and to blend a picture according to what you want to see through Dodge and Burn plus more.

4. Effects of Degradation This is used to focus on the subject or action and make it look like you are coming up on the subject very fast or show that the subject is moving fast. This works best with something you want to emphasize on to show power or to show that an action is being done.

6. Iris Enhancement This is basically used to change eye color and nothing more, if you don’t like the color of your eyes or someone else’s eyes. It can also play a role in drama, if you have a “deep” character, theme, or setting that a different eye color can show emotion and feeling.

8. Dodge and Burn Dodging and burning blends colors together to take out or improve a factor of your photograph. Dodging lightens the color whereas burning intensifies it. I took Spider-Man from a movie poster and set it in Pittsburgh, but I had to Burn the picture so it looks like Spider-Man belongs in that setting.

10. Vignette A Vignette is an oval contour surrounding a portrait or photograph which is blended into a plain background. It is found in many old pictures to focus on the subject in a classy manner.

12. Sepia Sepia is a tone of brown and orange affiliated with the black and white style and is found in many old photographs and movies. Sepia was first used in old photographs because those pigments, and the chemicals used in processing it would preserve the picture for many years.

14. Levels and Crop This is what you do to a picture if it is not up to your expectations. You change the levels which alters the tones of the picture and you crop it so it focuses solely on the subject.

17. Assigned Photographs These photographs involved adjusting camera settings to obtain the style of picture you wanted, and Photoshop did play a minimal role in these assignments as well. Still Motion requires the shutter speed to be really fast so it can capture the action, and a panoramic is making a long photo by pivoting around a room with snapshots and connecting the pictures.

18. Portrait A portrait is a picture of a person that focuses on them and their appearance, along with level adjustments in Photoshop to make it to your liking.

20. Panning Panning was used at a fast shutter speed and the picture was taken by following the subject so that it’s in focus and the background is blurry.

22. 4-Light Portrait Four lights are used with a plain background to contrast the features of the subjects, certain lights can be blurred and others can be directed onto the subject.

24. Panoramic A Panoramic is a series of pictures taken side by side by pivoting, or being a far distance apart in which a single shot cannot with hold. The pictures are then stitched together in photoshop giving a “widescreen” appearance.

26. Still Motion This is taken to capture an action at its peak activity. Often it is to freeze moving objects to show what is usually seen at a split second, can be observed carefully. The shutter speed needs to be set at 1/125 or above and be sure to get a skilled photographer with good timing.

28. Matted photograph A frame was made to fit this portrait. The inside of the frame was set to be 5x7, and the outside of the frame was 8x10. For it to be centered, 1.5 inches was taken off both sides to fit the smaller rectangle.

30. Themed Portrait This was used to show independence from others and me learning from something else. I’m sitting by a bookshelf reading a book to show that I’m focused and and that I did not want to be bothered, I mean, I had to read up on my photography to pass Mr. Milligan’s impossible quiz on camera parts.

32. Themed Sepia This is to show an old-fashioned themed portrait being that it’s in the sepia tone. I decided to go with an Industrial Revolution situation working with a bulk printer that resembles one of the many old and dangerous machines found in that time period.
