ED659 – Photography

For this assignment, I used my Samsung Galaxy 5S Active phone with the built-in camera app and also the Better Camera app. Although I have taken other photos that I feel are more beautiful (such as the berry photo on my About page or my Creative Commons post), I took new photographs, experimented with camera settings, and created a story with Legomen and various props. In cropping, I tried to be mindful of composition and the rule of thirds. Although I took over 40 photos,  many were not satisfactory because I was experimenting with various camera settings.

TIFF Photos for Printing

The serpent has attacked! Here is a thumbnail link to a TIFF file located on my Google Drive. I added Vivid saturation and the Vignette effect in Picasa and then opened it in Paint.net to save as a .TIFF file

I made the next thumbnail a bit larger:

f2.2, focal length 4.8mm,(35 mm equivalent:31mm) I cropped the photo for 16:10 widescreen photo frame and added text in paint.net. I thought our assignment said to add text to one photo, although I think I misunderstood. The composition is unremarkable, but I thought it necessary to include for my story.

Photos for Monitor Presentation

Does the crowd blame the big guy for the serpent attack??? Cropped for wide screen monitor 16:10 and added fill light.

Perhaps this fish can help solve the mystery. Cropped for standard screen size. Because of the dark corner, I used a higher ISO setting of 640.
