The strongest technical aspect of my work is the different color values. There are different shades of grays, white, and black. I could work on the lighting for some of the contact sheets and test strips. The top left isn't as dark as I wanted so I increased the time to make the one on the right which is darker and looks much better. 

     This project was easy by taking the pictures and choosing the one the that looks the best. It was difficult getting all the test strips and contact sheets to get right. It took a long time to get the finish product, the one at the top right. 

     I demonstrated the objective by making the different color values. If I could do something differently, I would hopefully try not to take as long as this took.

    The strongest technical aspect of my work is that most of my photograms and test strips have the whole value scale. My landscape, symmetrical, and magazine photogram have black, white, and grays. My magazine test strip and two value scales at the bottom have black, white, and grays. I also could improve a little on the value scale also. The one below my symmetrical photogram was exposed to too much light so nothing showed up. The test strip to the bottom right was also exposed to too much light so no gray values were shown.
    The easy part of this activity was setting everything up. I set up what i was going to do for the photograms. The most difficult thing was making sure everything was perfect. My symmetrical photogram isn't exactly perfectly symmetrical. It's hard setting everything up in the dark.
    I demonstrated the objective by doing everything I was taught. I set the light to the correct F-stop and time for each photogram. I would want to fix the things I messed up on. I would want to redo the black photogram and black test strip.

     The strongest technical aspect of my work is the use of the polaroids. They look like they were scattered across and the hands look like they are coming out of the picture. I think I could work on the background. It doesn't really seem like it fits together. 
     The easiest thing about this project was placing the polaroids. It was easy to just place them around and then use the lasso tool to get rid of any overlapping polaroids. The pst difficult thing was trying to make the hands seem like they were coming out of the polaroids. It's more subtle than I wanted it to be. 
     I demonstrated the objective by using the lasso tool to get rid of overlapping polaroids. I used blending modes to try and make the background work together. If I could do this again, I would make the background work better together. I would also try to make the hands pop out more.

   
       The strongest technical aspect of my work is the removing of the freckles. I used the healing tool to get them removed and any other spot. I took the color of a piece of clean skin and then used that to go over the freckles and spots. I think evening out her skin tone could be worked on. Her cheeks look a little red and her skin doesn't look as smooth as it could be.
      The easy thing about this activity was evening out the skin tone. I used the blur tool to do it. The hardest part was removing the freckles. It was difficult going back and forth trying to get rid of each freckle.
    I demonstrated the objective by using the healing tool. I took the color of a piece of clean skin and covered up the freckles. If I could change something I would make her skin tone a little more even.
I would also maybe take off the eyeliner she has underneath her eyes.

    The strongest technical aspect of my work is the use of the history brush. I made the flower the focus of the whole assignment. I don't know if I used it wrong but the desaturated photo isn't the same colors as the original photo.
    The easy thing about this activity was picking the picture. The hardest part was using the history brush. I had only use it on the flower rather than the background.
    I demonstrated the object by using the tools I was taught. I desaturated my photo and used the history brush to bring the color back and put the focus on just the flower. If I could change something, I would go back and try to figure out if I did anything wrong and make the colors look similar.

      I think the strongest aspect of my work is the way I used different values of color for the flower. I think it makes it look realistic and cool the way the different values work together. I also used opacity change to get the texture of the flower and leaves. I think i could've used more blending modes. The blending modes would make it look even better with different colors. 

      The easy part of this activity was taking the picture. I just focused on the flower and took it. The hardest part was painting the picture. It's hard to get every single detail and make it look realistic. 

      I demonstrated the objective by using the tools I was taught. I used the blending modes, paint brushes, and opacity change. If I could change something, I would use different colors. I feel that these colors look too similar to the original flower. I wanted to keep the colors realistic though.
