Edited Photos

On all these pictures, I increased the saturation and the exposure. I increased the sharpness on the ones that needed it, and used soft focus to make each picture look more gentle.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Do you have any traditions? Go in to detail about your plans for the 5 day weekend.

For thanksgiving, went to Hays, Kansas, out west. We have no traditions besides the ones that everyone shares, such as eating turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. This year we didn't have cranberry sauce or anything like that. Its a four hour drive from Overland park to Hays, and the entire time I was either sleeping, or listening to music. Once my mom, my sister and me got there, we met with our step- dad's family including his parents, and his sister and her husband. The seven of us spent two and a half days there, eating dinner and watching K-state games.

Tell me about your weekend.

My weekend was uneventful once again. Except for two things. I went out to IHop with my friends and ordered a bunch of coffee. We were so hyper that we started to annoy the other people, until two guys even more annoying than us came along, at which point we decided to leave. I also went to go see Fury with my dad. Fury is a war movie about a tank crew in WWII. Needless to say, at the end, everyone except the main character dies. This seems to be a reoccurring theme in war movies. Lone survivor is also an example, and Saving Private Ryan if you switch Tom hanks with Matt Damon. Everyone around him dies, including the people hes met. Its sad, but i guess its a part of the movie's realism.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.

I had no experience with stop motion photos before this project. I was familiar with time-lapse, however, which is basically stop-motion photos, except over a long period of time. One of the problems i ran into while making my stop-motion video was the lack of M&M's that I had. I needed to go out and buy more if I wanted to complete the video. One of the things I would go back and change is the stillness of the camera that I used because i felt like it kept moving as i was taking pictures.
