Smilee


Getting started on this project was the easy part first my partner had to take a picture of me behind a white wall. after I uploaded the picture then I had to research a background picture i would like and I chose a really pretty desert picture with a lot of color and a beautiful sunset but it came out black and white.. not really happy with my results but in the future I know what to do.

Welcome

Our point of view by Gloria Cortez

Taking this picture took time but it was all worth it. The reason why i wanted to capture the schools back was because this is where i get dropped off every morning and i like how the on the gym it says Orange Glen high school and the locker rooms say patriots it really catches my attention and i'm sure it catches other peoples attention too. taking the picture was easy as one two three. first you need a camera and a tripod and a camera.and doing it on Photoshop was easy too I thought it was going to be harder than what I expected. all in all I like my results and I hope to use this knowledge in the future

One too many..


Fun and creative Amanda cant stay in one place. The way I took this picture was quite simple all I used was a tripod, a camera, a human, and my imagination the white balance was sunny and I had to take a least 20 pictures going almost 160 degrees each time the little arrow had to be on the line in the middle line. Each time I had to change the shutter speed to keep it there so when my picture forms into HDR it doesn't look like it has different shades. Placing Amanda was difficult because if I placed her in the same spot the picture would not come out as its supposed too.

Hellooo


My name is Gloria Cortez I feel like my name is too simple I honestly wish my mom gave me a middle name. I'm not the teenager that participates in 4 sports at school or joins clubs. I did join club softball when I was younger and I hated it the only reason I joined was because my dad made me. Never again. But I do have some "hobbies" riding bike, and playing guitar and bass. I love music, music is my soul I really try to enjoy it until the end of my life. Going to concerts and listening to new bands is something I like to do when I have nothing else to do on a Friday nights. I like to talk about whats going on in the world with my friends and how the things happening now will affect our future. My goal in life is to live my life the fullest and not to live for others but just for myself. When I'm older I would like to reflect back on my teenage years and adulthood years know I had a good one and not regret one single thing. But of course I have my education goals. I would like to go to college and get an education that will help me out in my future. I know for a fact I want photography to be a hobby no matter what.
