Friday and Monday
On Friday, we wrapped up our pictures in text by taking the word Tri County (with images) and putting it into an 8x10 and adding the words "This Is" above it.
Then we took four of our TC images and put "This is Tri County" on each of them.
Today, Monday, Oct. 18, we worked on Cutting out the Background of an image. This is referred to as COB. We then made the COB color and the background black and white.
You will have a Photoshop turn in this week. Pictures #3 are due next Monday!

Best of Photo Assignment #1
Below is a link to the web album that contains the images I have selected as the best photos from your first assignment. Spend some time looking at the images and evaluating them. Select you top 2 from the album and write (type) a response (minimum 2 paragraphs) explaining why you think they earn the top 1 and 2 ratings. You should discuss areas such as: camera use, exposure, and composition.
When you've completed this, go to YOUR blog and post your best picture that you took for the first assignment. Explain why you think it is the best of your images. Also, add your reflections about the picture taking experience (was it fun? did you learn a lot? did you have good composition? did you put enough time in? etc.
