In this assignment we were tasked to touch up a photo of a car at a car show and make it look as close as we could to an example that our teacher gave us. We had to use many different tools in the Photoshop software including the "Clone Stamp" tool and the "Quick Select" tool to help us in our editing of the "Before" image in order to reach the "After" image as our end product.

For this shooting assignment, I decided to use People as my subjects. I recently was invited to a Choral Conference at Michigan State University and thought it would be worth my time to bring the camera along. While there I shot pictures of some students who performed for us, as well as a couple pictures of the campus itself with students. Something I learned when I was shooting this assignment, is how critical lighting is in dark areas in photography. Shooting in that dark auditorium was a true challenge, seeing as I had to use a high ISO and a slightly larger aperture which made the image grainy and slightly unfocussed. For my best image, I toyed around with noise fixing and made it a little bit softer in its edges and colors in the "Camera Raw" filter.
For this assignment I chose to take pictures of the nature surrounding me. I went up north with my Dad over the weekend to my Grandfather's Cabin. As soon as I got there, I knew I had to photograph it. I shot multiple subjects in this. First of which was an apple on one of the trees by the cabin. It really captured my eye with its contrasting colors with its surroundings as well as the light and shadows battling on its surface. I also shot some views within the surrounding woods by their cabin and continued on to shoot some more at a nearby state park. I had a lot of fun shooting these subjects and while doing so, I learned how important all of our knowledge of ISO, Shutter Speeds and Aperture really is in composing a good photo in the real world. With some of these pictures, you can see that there is some editing. Most of these are untouched by Photoshop, but those that are, are only stripped of their color or in one case, I added color to one section of a black and white image. In this assignment, we were tasked with creating an image in the style of Andy Warhol's "Pop Art" via Photoshop. I learned how to edit images in photoshop by changing their contrast and give the images different colors as well as placing multiple images onto one canvas to create the final finished product of Pop Art. In this assignment, we were challenged to use the basic composition rules and techniques of photography and capture examples of each of them in our own way. Along the way to finishing this first assignment, I learned quite a bit about using these elements and about myself as a photographer. I learned that these elements are all around us whether or not we notice it. We just have to look around for them, sometimes making it a point to look in the least likely places. As for myself as a photographer, I have come to understand that I looked in some places and found different angles that no one else seemed to be exploring and exploiting such as in my "Framing", "Lines", and "Patterns" photos.
Hello all, my name is Anthony Lange. here's a little introduction about myself. I am a person of creativity. I love to seek out interesting things and explore them. To me, some of those things include my love of climbing, whether its a rock wall or a tree or a house, there is something about finding your own path and the feeling of reaching the top. Also I am a lover for the night. I can't seem o pull myself away from the aesthetic that is created when the night's darkness is mixed with spots of light from street lamps. I took a photography class in my freshman year and it really opened my imagination with these ideas. And now I am taking this photography class so that I can continue to experience these feelings and ideas and capture them, to be able to share them with everyone. Welcome to my website and I hope you enjoy as I post my work.
