For these photos I went to Pierce Beach in Somerset. I rolled the die in 2 separate places, one in the field above and then on the beach itself. I took my favorite photos from each place and brightened the colors to accentuate the colors. The first photo I took on the field above and got the water in the background, focusing on the dog and the wild grass in his face. The second photo was farther back on the field above and with the different levels of the grass, water and the sky. The third and last photo were on the field above looking up and and taking 30 steps to the left, with brightened colors. The fourth and fifth photos were taken from the beach section looking down and up.

Community
These community photos were taking at the Ice Cream Barn in Swansea. The first two were of a flower cart that was in the front of the building. The next photo was taken facing away from the building, towards a house., while the last photo was in the back of the building facing a field filled with sunflowers and hay.
Light and Fog
Capturing Color
The first photo I took was at a candy shop in New Hampshire and my second photo was a puddle in the school parking lot after it had rained. For both of these photos I used the curves tool and changed the levels of brightness in different spots. After that, I changed the different levels of hue and saturation on the photos, and then the brightness.
Channel Mixer vs. Curves
For these images I edited them both in black and white, but in 2 different ways. The first way was with channel mixer and the second way was with curves. I think the curves give the photo more definition, rather than just making the photos look flat like channel mixer does. I also like how the curves made the second photo darker in the right places and brings out more of the details in the photo.
Pinhole
Camera obscura, meaning "dark room", was when photographers used a small dark room and let light in through a small hole to create images. To create our pinhole camera, we used Altoid containers spray painted black. Then we took a small piece of metal and pierced a hole in it with a small needle. This would be used as the shutter and will be covered with a small black piece of electrical tape. Next, we taped the piece of metal to the inside of the Altoid box so only the small hole was visible. Then we put a piece of masking tape on the inside of the box and put the light sensitive paper on the inside glossy side up. After the box was taped shut with electrical tape, we placed them in various spots around the school and left them up for a week or so. Once we took down our cameras, we scanned the images onto the camera and inverted them so they were right side up. I placed my camera in the courtyard on a window for about 4 days. The light source of the camera was the sun and captured the whole courtyard with different pathways of light and slight reflections from windows. The different paths of light on the light sensitive paper is what surprised me because of the triangle shaped paths. I wouldn't change anything about what I did because I was very pleased with the results, the image and the location of the camera.

Home Pinhole
For the outside of class pinhole camera, I placed it in a window facing the out from my house towards my front lawn. I left my camera out for 2 days to see the difference between a longer exposure (my first trial in school) to a shorter one. The time made it harder to see the actual outcome on the paper itself, but when I edited it in Photoshop and lightened it, it was easier to see. Since my camera was inside this time, no other factors like rain or wind had an impact on my camera. The only thing I modified about my camera was it's exposure time. My in class and out of class images were different to start with because of the exposure times and the clarity of the images because the first was taken from a closer distance than the out of school one. They were similar however between the main focus for them which was anything in front of them. The in school image had a better clarity of the actual image but the out of school image had more of an old timing effect on it.
