Nature/ Landscape Photo Assignment

For are most recent photo assignment I decided to shoot nature/ landscape. I went to millpond park, and took a lot of cool photos of the river, snow and animals that were there. I found it difficult to try to create a natural looking color, and not create a blue tint. By best photo is a picture of a bridge, and the river that was partially frozen.
Aperture: f 8.0
Shutter Speed: 1/180

Gimp Photo Editing Assignment

 For this assignment we had to take a picture, previously taken by a different student, and edit it on the program Gimp. We had to learn how to crop the photo, hoe to use levels and how to use the clone tool. I learned many different tool and tricks that will help me later to edit my photos that I take. This was very fun and to and also challenging!
