Today is a good day. I had to start with a test strip of my film, I started all the testing on F11 for 3 seconds. I noticed that there as too much light coming in to the picture. So I decided to change my F stop and I went for F16 which i came up with the next test strip, i got just the right amount of light coming in. I had to try multiple times. To get the big picture I decided to take the the second picture in which would make it for 6 seconds. I went to the 5x7 paper and did another test stip and i liked the way the first end of the picture came out i had it on F16 for 6 seconds, al thought I did like it I wanted a little less  light to come in, so for the final picture I did F16 for 5 seconds. Thats what I did for my work.

I did a test strip of the film strips on the right side of the picture, they are all on F11 for 3 seconds. The pictures were taken inside of the school. I did the test strips for 3 seconds each picture for a total of 15 seconds. On the upper left picture is a test strip of a pictogram of one of the pictures in the film strip. That I also did F11 for 3 seconds to get a total of 15 seconds. The last I did was the full picture on a 4x6 paper of the picture on F11 with no filter for 15 seconds. This was my progress for the project.

In the upper right, was the magazine photogram, it was F11 for 10 secs.  I got the white and grey because the magize was too transparent and there was not enough light which crated the white, and the grey was just enough to make a shadow but there was no balnce between. The second All black one was F11 for 10 seconds but there was too much light exposed to the photo paper, before and as doing the pictogram. The next one PUP  got the grey because there was the right amount of light and layering of the light, and the black was to much negative space but made the picture as a whole balanced. The last one with the trees, was all around perfect, it was F11 for 4seconds, there was the right amount of light, right amount of negative space, and layers between black white and grey.

I did not like this project or anything about it. This is a wonderful picture i couldn't do a background because i got so aggravated and i'll do better next time. I like the colors and how dim the image is. I wish i could change the poloroids around so there are less and not as many.

The strongest technical aspect of my work id my blush. i payed a lot of attention to this part in my project, I  had to play around with the colors and the moods of the colors a lot to get it to match the skin tone. The most difficult part was matching all the different parts of skin, and getting the blemish's away. My main objective was to get rid of all major blemishes using the healing tool and the blur tool.

The strongest aspect of this picture is that I made a focus point using the fish. I don't think that any aspect of this photo needs to be changed. This art project was easy I had no trouble finding the tools or the picture. I demonstrated the objective by making the background black and white and then only colored the fish back to the colors it was to have a focus point. If i cold do this activity again i wouldn't change anything about it i like it all around.

Personally I thought my best technical aspect of this project is the colors of the rocks. The rocks colors flow together and bring your eyes towards the ends to see everything in the picture. I stuck to the pastel colors because I wanted to make it seem calm and peaceful and a pretty place to be. I could most improve on staying in the lines, and working on more detailed thing though out the painting, i also could spend more time with different colors. 

This art project has its goods and bad. The easiest part of this project was choosing the colors. I thought the colors were easy because it was  good and bright day when i took this picture, i knew that the lighter shade of dark colors would go best to make the lighting have balance as well. The hardest part of the activity was choosing what you wanted to paint. This was the hardest part because I'm a very equal person so i need everything to be balaced and to look like it would normally.

In this activity I wanted to show the objective of the bush being the center of the picture. I did this by making the rocks different colors but only using three colors. I wanted to emphize the entire pond area. I editied my photo through painting. If i were to do this art project again i would choose a dimmer photo so i could choose daker and brighter colors other than just pastels.
