About me

My name is Kelsey Grim. I took this class to learn how to take better quality pictures. Ive always liked taking pictures so I thought it would be a fun class to take and that it could really help me take better photos. I learned so much more then I thought I would. I learned how to use photoshop to edit pictures, how to tell the difference between good and bad pictures, and most importantly, how to manage my own camera.

Tutorial

We were asked to find a tutorial for photoshop and create it. We were allowed to pick whatever we wanted, as long as we could finish it. We chose our own pictures to edit, and basically came up with our own assignment. I learned alot from my tutorial, like how to add rain to a picture. I thought the finished pictured looked very real and cool.
