Genius Hour 1.8

Photo Editing Week 8

For week 8 I got back into my groove.  I focused on creating more imaginative edits on my phone.  I spent around two hours editing this week, and still had ideas.  As I approach my Ted Talk, I will continue to make edits.  I want to show the many examples of edits and ideas I had for my photos.  This week,  I had Jack send me a photo so I could edit it.  It wasn't a very complicated edit, but I thought it turned out great.

For this edit, I wanted to focus on Jack and try making a cartoony edit.

As we all approach our Ted Talks I would appreciate it if anyone sent me any photos they'd like to see edited.  

Genius Hour 1.7

Photo Editing Week 7

Rough.  That is the word I would use to describe this week.  I was planning to use my computer to create edits that were as imaginative as my phone edits from last week, but that did not happen.  I played with the editing software on my computer for an hour, and still not accomplish anything spectacular.

This is the photo I was able to edit on my computer.  I was going for more of a painting style of edit,   but you cannot tell with the size of these pictures.

Unimpressed by my computer edit this week, I decided to create more phone edits that I believe the class will be quite impressed with.  I definitely think that phone editing is not only more fun but also way more convenient than computer editing.  For the remainder of my genius hour edits, I plan to only do phone edits and see how creative I can get! Big things to come! 

Genius Hour 1.6

Photo Editing Week 6

This week was a very fun week for me.  I was done recreating my previous images and moving on to new things.  This week I spent trying to learn a few different styles and techniques for editing.  Using my phone I was able to make edits that I didn't even think would be possible.  This will make it easy to use my new skills for social media in the future.  Compared to my very first edits I have come a long way, and I still have a great number of possibilities for my editing.  

This edit is one of three that I created this genius hour.   This edit isn't quite perfect, but I am impressed with the results.

I've learned that editing can be more than just lighting and composition.  As a matter of fact, I enjoy getting more creative with my edits to create new energy and subject matter.  Next week, I will be using my computer to try out some new techniques.
