Gimp Assignment Three: PHOTO DEMO ASSIGNMENT

In our third Gimp editing assignment, we worked with portraits.  We took one window portrait using the natural light from outside and a white piece of poster board (bounce card) to reflect the light.  There was a distinct difference in the shadows and light form using and not using a bounce card.  When I was taking pictures of Sam by the window, the light was more evenly distributed if we used the white poster board.  We then took a picture in the studio.  We had a hair light, fill light, and key light, then captured photos of someone sitting on a stool in front of a sheet.  Taking the pictures into Gimp, we were able to create white background boarders using different levels which gave us a great final product.  I am becoming more and more familiar with Gimp each time we use it.  I'm also working on recognizing when pictures need levels adjustments.  Being able to recognize and adjust levels makes a HUGE impact on the quality of my pictures.
