This week, I shot for the category open. I went to Wiard's Orchard and I took pictures that reminded me of fall such as, the pumpkins and animals they had there. I learned during this photo assignment that you can make a picture more interesting by trying different things and adding objects. For the editing of all of these I turned up the saturation a little bit and sometimes I slightly turned up the vibrance. Best photo: Aperture: f/4.0 Shutter Speed: 1/4000 ISO: 800

This week, I shot for the category black & white. This was the hardest one so far because my camera was being weird and acting different and I had a hard time finding interesting objects to shoot that wouldn't look boring. I learned that I need to plan ahead, be patient, and try to figure things out by myself before asking. I edited a smudge out of the left corner with the clone stamp tool & I transferred it into black & white. Best Photo Aperture: f/4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/160 ISO: 100 For this assignment, we had to edit a car another student took a picture of. We had to make the car darker and tint the windshield by a lot of different tools on photoshop. I learned that photoshop is more complicated then I thought but if you listen to directions carefully and slowly then it should be fine.
This week, I shot the category macro. For this I went in my backyard and I saw these really pretty pink flowers that I never even knew were back there. But luckily they were there so it made it easier for me to shoot macro. I had fun shooting this because it was a sunny day and I got to try new methods like brining out a spray bottle to spray a few of the flowers with water. Some things I found out during this was that I had this small statue of a frog and today I realized there was a bee in on one of the flowers that I shot. Best PhotoAperture: f3.2 Shutter Speed: 1/800 ISO: 100 For this assignment, I shot the category people. I took about 50 shots of my sister outside of my house. I made her be my model but she didn't really complain so that was good. During this "photoshoot" I had her put on 3 different outfits: Ohio State jersey, Saline jersey, and a dress with heels which she could barley stand in because they were mine and they were too tall for her. I also had her use 3 different props: Ohio State football, Saline football, and an earn of my mom. I had lots of fun doing this because it was a nice day so I got to be outside and enjoy it while taking pictures! I also had trouble figuring out how to change my shutter and aperture on my camera at home so I learned how to do that. Best Photo: Aperture: f/2.4 Shutter Speed: 1/1250 ISO: 100 Our task was to go around the school and take a picture for all eleven element categories. One thing I learned during this assignment is how to take better, and more professional photographs. I also learned how to make the photos more interesting and not having them all be straight in the center. The final thing I learned is there are more to photographs than the main subject. I feel like my photographs are already improving! My name is Macy Hopgood, I am a freshman at Saline High School. Outside of school I dance at Dance Alliance, and I've been dancing there since 2005 and I take 10 classes a week. I have four sisters: Kristy(29), Brittany(27), Alyssa(17), and Ella(11). They are all my half sisters except for Ella. I live with my dad and Ella, my mom passed away last summer (2015). The reason I took this class is because in seventh and eighth grade I took multimedia and liked it so I thought it would be similar to Digital Photography.
