     My strongest technical aspect of the Coffee Camera/Pinhole Camera project was my ability to have an image show up on the paper. We used a plastic pumpkin wearing a hat. The object was on a stool. My weakest technical aspect was finding the right timing. We ran a few different tests with the test strips. We started with three minutes, but the test strip was black. This meant there was too much light. We kept on trying to find the right timing.
     The easiest part of this project was setting up the object on the stool. This was the easiest because we just had to bring out a few things. The hardest part was finding the right timing and setting up the coffee camera. This was the hardest because it was very time consuming.
     I was able to show the objective, it was to get an image to show up on the paper. I was able to d this by setting up the pin hole camera without light getting in. If I could do something different, I would want to be able to have the timing correct. This would be easier to do and it would take less attempts.

     My strongest technical aspect with this project was my ability to get a good picture with the camera. I had some troubles along the way but I was able to get through them.  My weakest technical aspect was lining up the image. On some of my papers, I put the image off center.
     The easiest part of this project was changing the amount of light that would be shown. This was easy because all I had to do was change the knob until the right light is there. The hardest part of this was to get the right time and amount of light so the image would show It took a few times to do so, but I was finally able to get it.
     I was able to demonstrate the objective of the project. The objective was to get an image to show up on the sheet. I was able to do this after multiple tries. If I was able to do this project again, I would try to get my image on the sheet in less tries. In conclusion, this is how I was able to get my images to show on the sheet.

     My strongest technical aspect of the Photogram project was my grey colors. This is my strongest aspect because I was ably to include grey colors in all of the photograms. My weakest technical aspect was my placing of my paper and objects. In some of my photograms, I had my border going at a diagonal angle.
     The easiest part of this project was making my pictures using the objects. Another easy part about this project was setting up the enlargers. This was easy because I had to focus the light and just had to change the brightness. The brightness was on f11. The final part that was easy was setting up the time. The time for the landscape and the symmetrical was 4 seconds. The time for the magazine was 10 seconds, I did the magazine before you said to cut out a shape and place object on it.  The difficult part was the chemicals. This was hard because I had to keep different times.
     I was able to demonstrate the objective of the project. The objective was to get different values of grey, white, and black. I had different shades of colors in my project, as you can see in the picture above.  If I was able to do this project again, I would probably switch up the objects I used. I would also go back and redo my magazine and cut it out and put objects on it. In conclusion, this is what I did during this photogram project.

     My strongest technical aspect is my Polaroids. I feel this way because it looks like they are overlapping each other and they look scattered, like on a table. I could've improved on some of the Polaroids, I feel this way because some of them can't really be seen.
 The easy part about this project was finding a picture. I found this easy because I already had an idea about who I wanted to do. The hard part was getting rid of the original background. I found this hard because it took a lot of work and I had to keep changing the size of the eraser.
     I demonstrated the project of making a photo look like it is many pictures scattered. I also have the ball, in the air, look like it is leaving the picture. I also was able to do this to his hands and arm. If I was to do this activity again, I would probably change the athlete up. In conclusion, this was the Polaroid PhotoShop project.

     During this PhotoShop project I learned how to remove freckles from a face. I also learned to to whiten eyes and teeth, but no teeth are showing in this picture. I also cleaned up the skin by darkening it.
     My strongest technical aspect of this project was cleaning up the skin on the face. I got rid of all of the freckles and whitened the eyes. My aspect that could be improved is to make the eyes be a smoother shape, instead of a sharp one.  I feel removing the freckles was the easiest part of this project. I only had to click over a freckle to get rid of it. The hardest part was shaping the eyes. This was hard because I had to use the Lasso tool and the shape turned out to be really sharper than I would've wanted. If I could do this project again I would have taken a little more time on the eyes so they wouldn't be sharp.
     In conclusion, this is how I removed freckles from a face in PhotoShop. I also whitened the eyes and I changed the skin color a little bit.  I made the face a little skinner to work and i thought it looks really goo skinnier.
