Original Photo
Edited Photo
For this assignment we were told to take a photo of our learning environment during this pandemic. Since we are doing online school I couldn't really take a picture of anything except my room or laptop. I didn't like how the photo of my room came out so I took a photo of my computer angling the camera at the keypad and then up to my assignments just to show the learning.
For editing this photo I wanted to change the sides of the computer and fill them in but when I did that it looked like a big wall behind it and didn't go well with the photo so I just kept it. But, I did add a filter on it called "Paint Daubs" and by adding that filter I could make the screen of assignments more blurry so that the keypad would be the main focus. I wanted the keypad to be the main focus because the computer is the main idea and it shows a better example of online schooling. I didn't feel like the assignments would have to stand out as much. I was going to try and make the lights under my keypad more bright but when I tried that it messed up the letters so I had to keep it the same. I wish there was more I could've done without messing up the photo but it was very limited.
Overall, I do think I could've took a better photo but there wasn't any other way to show learning environment since we aren't in school anymore. I think going so close to the keypad though was a good idea and really makes the picture stand out so I'm glad I learned how to take photos like that in class.
