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.
