Patterns

 I like this picture because there is a continuous pattern of blue rectangles/sqaures, and theres only three of them. Its a simple but just like Mr.Pederson says it's clear and crisp. This is one i didnt have to crop or do something to it on photoshop and actually came out to be nice.

 I like this picture because you can see the pattern of the bench's legs, its a pattern that doesnt stop unless there are no more benches. It looks nice because it was sunny that day, it wasnt gloomy. Ive noticed that i take much more better pictures when the sun is out and the weather is warm.

 I think this is my favorite out of these four pictures i chose. To me it looks really cool, like almost as if the leaf is symmetrical. Theres not much of a distraction in the back, so the main focus of this picture is absolutely clear.

I liked how there are some random yellow spots on that part of the tree, it makes that pattern that i was looking for while taking pictures around school campus. This one i did have to crop because there was some people in the back, so i used the filling the frame technique we learned a few weeks ago in this class.

Some skills that i have been doing well and really like doing is filling the frame. It makes it a much better picture, because the main focus is that object you take a picture of. And also to me it just looks nicer because then theres no distractions in the back whatsoever. For our next project my goal is to start using other ways to take pictures instead of just filling the frame, because the same thing can get a bit boring. I might start using the rule of thirds more. Mr.Pederson has already done a good job with advising me more on how to take better pictures or go on photoshop to make them better.

 I found this one to be somewhat easy because the eyes of the cheetah actually kind of matched with mine and that made it easier. the problem was that my eyes were too small so we had to stretch each eye out. I liked how this picture turned out to be funny!

Well since this picture, the koalas eyes were too wide from my eyes so i decided not to include them at all. It kind of looks real to me, like if there was no photo shop included that's why i like it. These pictures where one of my favorites because they were nice and simple.

i used the eraser, i realized that i shouldve used the brush but i had no idea how to do it and thats why it looks bad. now i noticed that the nose of this leopard isnt matching with mine and that looks weird. If i had time i would redo it but this is due today! These type of pictures were the most challenging for me honestly.

Again, for this one i used the eraser. But i really should have done it with the brush like Mr.Pederson demonstrated. The nose isnt matching with my nose and it looks totally fake. Well, at least now i know how to really do it, so i wont mess up the next time we do these types of pictures.

To create this image, there was alot of steps i had to follow. But it wasnt too difficult like the half animal was.  There many layers we had to add on, and then we had to use the gaussian blur. I didnt have any problems working on this picture whats so ever. I would consider using this type of effect more on my photos.

For this one i decided to add color, but it didn't really make much of a difference. Since this type of picture was pretty easy for me, i didnt have any problems at all. I like how this picture makes it look like a painting sort of.

Since the quality of this photo was originally not so good, it still didnt look good. So i had to mess with it more, and but a higher number on the gaussian blur part. No problems at all for this picture as well. It makes it look cooler and jazz looks like a model in this picture!

To be able to apply this filter to the picture, i had to pick a color on the gradient map and it gave me a lot of options, but i just followed the instructions on the site that was given. It was confusing having to make adjustments in the inner shadow. And then i had to make some more adjustments on the gradient overlay. but other than that, it wasnt hard at all. his vintage effect makes this girl in the picture really pretty.

To create this image i had to apply a filter, and i had options so i chose the blue and yellow one. Although it kind of looks like i shouldve lowered the opacity a bit. I found the steps for vintage effect on pictures to be pretty easy and simple to cope with. So i didnt run into any problems with this picture. I never thought that we could edit our pictures this way on photo shop, i thought that was pretty cool.

So for this picture since i used a blue/yellow effect on the previous one, i decided to try a different color with this picture of gabby i had. Well from the start this picture was like bad quality, so i tried rising the opacity to see if it would make it better, and it sort of did but its still not the best picture. It didnt turn out so bad, but i probably could have done it better. This color makes the attention/focus go on gabby because its the color that most stands out in this picture.
