Black Light Reflection

1. My best shot was the last time because there's no extra space around the person and the colors really pop out to me.
2. My weakest shot was the second one because it's pretty blurry and i'm not satisfied with the position of the hands.
3. The weakest one could be improved if the hands were tilted forward so that all the paint on the hands can be seen.
4. I used Photoshop to edit. I used levels, brightness & contrast, hue/saturation, and color balance.
5. I was able to meet the goals by using black light to make the paint glow in the dark.
6. What was easy was editing the colors on the users because levels did the job well and the brightness/contrast was easy to work with with this assignment.
7. What was difficult was painting my face for other people. It was hard to make a nice pattern and was even harder to take off afterwards.
8. If I could do this again, I would position myself better (towards the center) to get better photos.
9. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my work a 7 because even though the positioning could be better, it was overall an interesting a fun experience and I felt like I did a decent job.

Lighting Reflection

1. My best shot was the one for Rembrandt lighting because it's captures the lighting perfectly and the person in it seems the most lively than my other ones.
2. My weakest shot was for loop lighting because the picture is blurry and the light blows out her whole face.
3. My weakest shot could be improved by moving my position and lowering the brightness in Photoshop.
4. I used Photoshop to edit. I specifically used black and white, tint, levels, and hue & saturation.
5. I was able o meet the objectives by capturing a 6 types of lighting.
6. What was easy was taking the photos overall because it was simple to take them. All I needed to do was stand in the center and kneel down to fill out empty space.
7. What was difficult was understanding each lighting and their differences because they seem similar in the examples used, making it more confusing for me.
8. What I would change was my positioning for each photo. It was hard to position myself perfectly because I was crowded by people.
9. I would rate this assignment an 8 out of 10 because I see my improvement on using the cameras and editing as well. I felt like this was my best work so far.

Color Sampling

Artist Reflection (Color Sampling)

1. The best shot is my second color sample photo with the Italian book. I feel like the editing really made the book stand out from the stack and it's very pleasing to look at.
2. My weakest shot was probably the first color sample photo with the star. It doesn't really seem like a good edit and it looks almost just like the regular photo because the color from the stars makes the wall already look black and white.
3. My weakest image can be improved if I payed more attention to detail with the corners. The star was tricky to edit for the color sample, so it looks like the colors are bleeding through the star and onto the wall.
4. I used Photoshop to edit my shots. I used black and white, tint, the pencil tool, and levels.
5. I was able to meet the goals of the assignment by taking pictures outside of school and editing them for each part.
6. What was easy was taking the photos. I have a variety of things in my bedroom I used and could use, so it wasn't that hard to find different things to take photos of.
7. What was difficult was doing the color sampling part. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I kept staring over and redoing it.
8. If I could do this again, I would try taking more photos outside. Sure, I said I have a lot of things inside my house, but I think i would've gotten better shots with nature. Especially with the snow.
9. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this project an 8. I feel like I put a lot more effort in this assignment than other assignments because I had plenty of time to do it.
