The assignment I was working on is a panorama, but I was told not to use the panorama mode, but to take five to six pictures, and stitch them together. This assignment was interesting, yet frustrating at the same time. What I did was I tried to pan from left to right without moving up, or down, or shaking the camera, which was difficult without a tripod. Then I used the photomerge function in Photoshop, without the mode where it blends itself, that way I can do it myself, and actually learn how to do it. Then, I modified it, by using the masking tool to take away certain areas that looked weird, or out of place. I then decided to increase the vibrance of the picture to sixty, so that way it looks way more colorful. Of course though, there was some issued, like for example, I ran out of room on my laptop because the files on this thing was very, very big, so I couldn't do anything with it on my personal laptop. Then there's the fact that my scratch disc space also ran out (I don't know if there is any connection between the two) but it still wouldn't allow me to do anything on my laptop.

Portrait
For this assignment, I had to take a picture of someone in the style of a portraiture. I took various pictures, but this one was my favorite for multiple reasons. First of all, the most obvious thing, her facial expression is just funny. I like the fact that it gives her character, unlike the other pictures which is just them smiling, or just being photogenic. I also like the lighting in the photo, it showed a great deal of her face, and it wasn't to brightening. There is something I didn't like about this image, and that is the background. I like the objects and stuff, but it's the wall, there is something about it that bugs me about it, and I think it's the coloring, or the fact that it looks empty. I could've cropped it, but I like the little items in the back, so I didn't. One issue that I had with this is the decision to make it black and white, or keep it with colors, in the end though I kept the colors, obliviously, I just think it looks better. I obviously made some modifications to this, but only small amounts. First I increases the Saturation, and Vibrance for a bit, to make it looks more colorful, then I increased the brightness and contrast to look a little better.
