Michelle's Final

 In the digital photography class, I have learned that phones have many more camera abilities than what I assumed.  Once one takes the time to understand their phone camera, they can do so much more and drastically improve their photography skills.  I have also learned a few of the many capabilities of photoshop.  When an original picture is low in quality, photoshop becomes very handy.  Photoshop makes photography quite fun and more interactive.  It offers countless ways to alter and improve photos.  Digital photography provided me with the opportunity to take advantage of my phone's camera and photoshop.

The photos I have chosen for my final establish that I have obtained at least minor skills in cropping, masking, and altering exposure.  The first photo, which was changed the most, shows my ability to place masks on and change the exposure and placement of a subject in order to blend it in with its new surroundings.  The second photo pertains to cropping and exposing a focal point to draw the viewer's attention.  In this particular photo, the focal point is my bulging eye.  The third photo involves exposure, while the last has the same components as the first.  All of the skills I used to alter my final photos were learned in digital photography.
