For the second photoshop assignment, we had the task of retouching a past students picture of a car, which they took at the auto show. I removed some of the light reflections on the hood, removed the background so it would not take the attention away from the car.

I chose still life for this week's photo assignment because I was stuck in the house most of the week. I found an array objects in my house, like the weird owl figure, I also used color pencils and shower jelly as my subjects. I learnt that lighting has a huge effect on how the picture turns out and also how the subject is perceived by the camera. I made the image a little lighter by increasing the blacks because I was losing the part of the owl that was in the shadow. I also clarified the image to make it pop. I used the paintbrush tool in camera raw because there were some fleck of dust on the black background.
For the first photo assignment, my subject was food. Some of my pictures were action shots of my dad making Stroganoff for dinner. I found it hard to have a clear background for those shots. I also took pictures of a smoothie and some desserts. I learnt that shining lights on some food, especially frozen foods, they can start to melt, which I experienced in some pictures. To make the color pop more, I made the temperature +2, the tint +3, the exposure +0.65, The contrast +47, and the highlights -77. The edits that had the biggest effect were the increase of contrast and the decrease of highlights.
In this assignment, I used an old selfie from the beginning of the trimester and changed the hues and saturation to four different colors. This imitates Andy Warhol's Pop Art images of famous people or inanimate objects, like soup cans. This was my first time in photoshop, and I was really impressed how easy to understand it was. I did not expect myself to figure it out so easily and I am proud I did. As stated earlier, this was my first time in photoshop, so I everything we did was new to me. I learned everything from layering images to resizing the canvas. I thought Lightroom was really interesting and I'm excited to see what else I learn.
