Over the course of my Digital Photography class I did a many projects, walked around more than i had done i years, and got myself refreshed on photoshop. When I had fist come into the class i expected to learn how to properly handle a camera and learn it's technical aspects. I soon learned that the cameras we used had more things in common with video cameras, the ones I had used for my video production class, than I had expected. During the class I think I in many aspects. I greatly improved my photo taking skills from next to nonexistent to "eh, that's pretty good." I even managed to learn things in photoshop, despite me thinking that i knew everything.

In this assignment I had to make a subject in motion sharp, and the background blurry. This was accomplished by panning the camera at the same speed as the subject. Creating a blur in the background, but keeping the subject nice and sharp.
This assignment was about us going online, and finding a random photoshop tutorial and completing it. The tutorial I chose (link) was about using multiple different photos, and putting them together in order to make a surreal landscape.
In this assignment i had to take multiple photos of a location, without moving the camera. One photo had to be blank, and three others had to have people in different positions. I then had to stack the photos in photoshop and "cut" out the different people in order to make all of them show up in one photo. In this assignment I had to take multiple photos of a scene, and rotate the camera so ~30% of the photo overlaps with the the one before it.

I took a photo of one of the windows from inside of the building, I then edited out the landscape and put in a photo of a black hole.
For this assignment I chose to do Food. This proved to be a surprisingly difficult subject to take photos of, mostly because I kept eating my subjects. When I was setting up the little Caeser's© deep dish pizza I accidentally created some nice lighting. I turned the lights off in the kitchen but left the lights on the bottom of the microwave on. Thus creating a spotlight on the pizza.
