Assignment 5: Image manipulation
For the first image, I used the "Dark Stroke" option in brush strokes to give me a higher contrast and blur effect.
For the second photo, I went into "Stylize" and chose the "glowing edges" option. I then set the edge width to "1", the edge brightness to "20" and the smoothness to "11".
For the 3rd picture, I chose the "custom" option in "other" effects. I then went into the "hue and saturation" option and set the hue to +180, the saturation to -44 and the lightness to -14.
For the 4th picture, I used Photoshop. I went into Filter and selected the "Film Grain" option. I set the grain to 4, the highlight area to 0 and the intensity to 10. I then used the "magic wand" to select my green t-shirt and created a layer for it. I then selected my t-shirt layer and changed the vibrance to -100 and the saturation to +100 to create a less saturated color for my shirt. I then set the hue to +55, to give my shirt a blue tint instead of a green one.
For the last image, I also used photoshop and set the gradient map to grayscale. I then set the brightness to 32 and the contrast to 22. It's a simple black and white photo, but I do like how the brightness and contrast complement the almost gradient-like background.

Assignment 4: Portrait
I chose this picture because I like the formation of shadow on Ryan's lower neck. There is a visible shadow behind him,but I find that it's not that noticeable due to the fact that Ryan is wearing a black jacket. I also picked this photo because of the darker contrast. There is no excess of light in this shot, which is apparent if we look at Ryan's darker skin tone in this picture.

Assignment 2: Stop motion photography and motion blur.
Getting a stop motion effect was quite simple. I enabled flash and set the camera to stop motion mode ( optimized shutter speed). To get motion blur, I simply enabled continuous mode. As you can see, continuous mode not only makes the motion blurry, but if the shutter speed is set correctly, it will also distort whatever is moving. As you can see in two of the photos, I'm almost invisible except for my 3 sets of legs. Awesome.
