My paragraphs

This assignment was kind of fun because i got to make one of my favorite cartoon characters smurfette. I made her out of 1.Duck tape, 2. pencil, 3. colored pencil, 4. Pen, 5. Marker. The reason I used duck tape was because it was laying on the floor and I thought that it would be fun to use that, and I used it to make her hat. I used pencil because it is a common drawing utensil and I really like to use it when I draw. I used colored pencil for the same reasons I used the pencil. At least i use colored pencil a lot when I draw. I used pen because I like to use it for outline and to bring out the drawing. Lastly i used sharpie/Marker to really show her eyelashes to really bring them out and make then look lushes.

I changed the color of the hat because we only had gray duck tape but it was originally whit, I also changed the flower from white to purple and pink to have it be colorful, i said this because i thought that i should mention what i changed from the or

iginal picture.

Comments about Computer’s Thanksgiving Break HW!

Well for this week’s Homework I thought that it was a little tricky taking 150 pictures on my really slow camera, that kept blacking out, and I kept having to turn it off and back on, and then continue with my HomeWork. But I really like to take pictures of different things in different places so my brain was hurting! :(!

I was super surprised at how easy it was to make a contact sheet and just how simple it is. I actually think that they are really cool because I like a lot of things on one sheet of paper. I would like it if other assignments were not like this at all. I like to walk around the park and take like 5-10 pics of one thing then move on. I’m quick that way...

My 4-6 sentences..... YOU CAN COUNT!! :)

Gordon Wiltsie

Gordon Wiltsie grew up in Bishop, California, a mountain town nestled between the Sierra and White Mountains. By his late teens Wiltsie was an accomplished mountaineer, climber, and budding photographer.

Wiltsie calls himself a self-taught photographer, but living where he did, below one of America's most beautiful mountain ranges, he could not help but meet and be inspired by the many leading outdoor and landscape photographers who traveled though his area.

His career began with a 1975 photo essay in the magazine Ascent, which established his reputation with the outdoor adventure audience. In the following year an Outside magazine presented his name to an even wider Target audience. Repeatedly his many feature stories for National Geographic, including several cover stories, have established his worldwide reputation as the consummate expedition and adventure photographer. Wiltsie began publishing his adventure photography in national magazines while he was still a college student, and the popularity and ready market of adventure photography steered him away from his real passion, which is cultural subjects.

In pursuing his photography degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, Gordon wrote his own course work for an extended stay in Nepal, where his cultural studies included learning the Nepali, Hindi, and Tibetan languages. "My studies in Nepal began my lifelong fascination and pursuit to photograph vanishing cultures," he says.

His time in Nepal also began his long involvement with guiding and photographing in the Himalaya. His Antarctica experience eventually led to a cover story in the February 1998 National Geographic magazine about a climbing expedition to the little known Queen Maud Land.

Wiltsie has been involved in more than a hundred expeditions outside of the US. His specialty is mountains and adventure, but lately he has come full circle and is again focusing his camera on cultural stories and mountain people. Wiltsie's work ethic on assignment has him up before dawn, and he doesn't call it quits until well after dark. The average assignment may last five to seven weeks.

Besides getting the photos, Wiltsie also has to work on fitting in with and being accepted by team members. Wiltsie's expedition philosophy is simple: "Be careful not to include the course of the expedition. Work to fit into the group by helping with chores, carrying loads, and doing other daily tasks. The best tactic for the photographer is to work hard to blend in." Communicating your objectives to the team is important: Work out your photo needs in advance with the team leader and every single member of the expedition. Explain what they need to do to help you get the photos you need. If part of the team resents your presence, your experience with the trip may become miserable, maybe even life threatening.

Often photographers are too trusting of their cameras, relinquishing too much control to its automatic functions, says Wiltsie. "In this age of automatic cameras, anyone can take a modestly decent picture. To rise above you have to be a technical master."

Extra: Gordon Wiltsie’s Adventure Photography Tips

1. Make yourself intimately knowledgeable about any activity, sport, or environment you want to photograph. If you're not a climber or a skier, for example, chances are you won't photograph these activities well. You're also unlikely to create much that's visually new or different if you shoot something that you haven't researched.
2. Keep abreast of what other adventure photographers are doing. What might have been leading edge imagery a few years ago has likely been copied so much that it isn't novel anymore.
3. Adventure photography is inherently risky, but don't take stupid chances to get a picture.
4. Become part of the team. Do your share of any expeditionary duties. Make yourself an insider, not someone on the outside, looking in.
5. Always keep your camera right at hand. Some of the best moments come completely by surprise.
6. Look for unusual angles, frames, and perspectives. Often just a part of a person or scene will communicate the whole. Consider, for example, advertising for Marlboro cigarettes. Viewers of these ads can see just a belt buckle or a bridle hung over a fence and envision a cowboy and his smokes.
7. Don't forget to have fun. Choose projects that are close to your heart and abilities so that you can enjoy them.

1. I opened an image in pixel mator, image of white rose.
2. I took the lasso tool and selected around the rose.
3. Then I went into image and selected Hue and lighting for shadowing and darkening the rose.
4. Then, I went to image again colorized it and made it a light pink then I darkened the pink and made a hot pink.
5. Then I took the crop lasso and cropped out the background
6. Then I changed the color of the background! PINK!
7. Then i did the same thing, just a little bit closer to the rose
8. I repeated the same thing on last time, and finished off the pink to make layers of colors.
9. Then I cropped the picture to a reasonable size and I was
10. DONE!

P.S. Only the coloring of the flower was on the tutorial, the background layers were separate!

I went into levels and made it darker. And also cropped out his hands because I really didn't like them in there, and I think that just this is the part that brings out the emotion in the picture.

I Made the picture darker because my flash was to bright on the house and the subject.

I went into curves and brought out the blue, and then lightened it up to see the tree more.

I went into levels and brought out the orange and then went into curves and darkened the blacks.

I went into curves and brought out the white and in levels and brought out orange.

I brought out the greens in levels and then brought out a little gray in curves.

I went into curves and brought out Blue in levels and then in levels I brought out the white.

This my attempt for using Pixel-mator for the first time. This is Tienna by Kalin. YAY! :D!
