Reflection: It was a pretty fun assignment but a little bit stressing since mostly because I had a late start and mostly how I could only work on this on school and how slow the computers were. So it may not be my best work but that doesn't mean I wasn't fascinated. It interested me how much photo shop could change the photo and the atmosphere of it.
I re-edited the photo " A Sunset Dream" since the first edit was made to blurry and too dark. I changed the colors but still made it Orton mode. I'm thinking of changing the title to "Sunset Painting".

Being a critic
I love that many of you are leaving comments behind on everyone's blog. You are gracious and generous of leaving so many positive items of feedback.
Today you are going to be a critic. This means
that your opinions are not necessarily the same as the artist who has
taken the picture. I love that many of you are leaving comments behind on everyone's blog. You are gracious and generous of leaving so many positive items of feedback.
PART 1 As a Critic you will...
What did you like about the original photo? In your opinion did the edits enhance the edited photo and make it better or different?
You should also mention by name the photo you enjoyed the most in your critique. Every set has a fantastic photo that stands out more than the others.
PART 2 As an artist...
State your point and explain why you chose to edit the photo the way you did. Would the comments of your peers make your photo better?
I am looking for a conversation at the blog. Communicate to each other through comments.
As a teacher I am looking forward to the conversations at the blog tomorrow.
This assignment was really enjoyable! I learnt many techniques using Photoshop.I had some trouble using Photoshop for the first time because I wasn't use to using adobe Photoshop but watching the videos helped me learn a lot! It was really fun editing photos because I love editing. Some of my photos turned out great, but some sadly didn't but I hope next time I could do it properly since I learned how to use photoshop!

I really enjoyed this assignment. I think the "challenge" level was just right. If I tried hard enough to make the photo happen, it did. I know 70% of my photos are of flowers or plants, but what can I say, I love flowers! I also love the way my photos turned out. I'm glad I was able to use Photoshop Elements because it was a great experience. I learned a lot from this assignment and I look forward to doing more. It was definitely worth the classes we spent on it.

This Photoshop assignment was very fun, but tough. Although it was tough choosing what to use when editing, I enjoyed playing around with pictures, and learning what kinds of things can help make a photo became much better. I think I did a good job for my first time using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.
During this assignment, I got to learn a whole lot using Photoshop Elements 10. This was my first time using it, but I guess you can say, I did alright. I didn't know how to use most effects or tools at the beginning but I learned and got the hang out it in the end. Overall, I enjoyed doing this assignment and using Photoshop for the first time.
I admit, I had no idea what I was doing half the time but I enjoyed playing around with photoshop elements. I think I made a lot of good edits but also a lot of lazy ones. I had a lot of trouble with certain things but now I'm getting the hang of it and I think I'll keep on playing around with this program on my own free time. (or at least until my free trial for elements 12 expires hahaha.)
Reflection:
I think this assignment was frustrating at some parts but it turned out pretty well. It was neat to see how much you can change a photo and make it look completely different from the original or you could make it look even better than before. You could do many things to fix your photo to make it look better, I guess thats why so many people use Photoshop! Ive learned a lot from photoshop and know more than I did before. Although it was fun, I hope we don't have to use photoshop again(((:
This assignment got me a little bit stressed out but it was still fun because I never used any type of photoshop before so I enjoyed it. I liked to compare the original photo and the edited ones because it can show you what photoshop can really do to your photos! I learned a lot and hopefully we start using this more. :)
This assignment was pretty fun. I haven't done this before so it was new to me but I enjoyed it. Also I learned a lot from Photoshop and I am more used to it now but am still learning. I really liked editing my photos and doing whatever I want with it and I hope we can do this again so I could be better at editing photos.

It was hard choosing just 10 I did way more activities in my vacation but I wasn't aloud to take pictures in most shows and I don't think it's possible taking nice shots while up in the air or speed driving through the forests (It was fun btw, they put you in this type of car wear you can control the wheels as you drive along the forest), so enjoy!

This is the stop motion me and Camilla created. We ended up not making any changes since of my holiday trip, but in my opinion I thought it was a pretty good video and needed no changes. I really liked how the video turned out, especially the lighting. The hardest part of editing this video was finding the music for it! It was difficult finding an up beat instrumental music that sounded good when connected with others and could be played for a mall theme, but in the end I had fun, but boy was I tired!
