Tyler's Digital Scrapbook

I made two different digital scrapbooks and hope
that you like both of them as much as I do. The making of each of these were a
little bit different. They were in a lot of ways very similar. Both Smilebox
and Animoto allowed me to put pictures into its program; which was kind of a
given, considering that they were digital picture slideshows. They both
had good music to play during the scrapbook presentation. That was a plus,
because in my opinion one factor that plays into a good presentation is its
music. Now, I will tell you about each individual program.

Smilebox, this was the first program I used to
make a scrapbook. This program was a great program to make a Scrapbook; they
had a few premium options. That was okay! They had great presentation software,
with things like text or captions below the pictures. They gave me a great
preview of what my presentation would look like. The software also included
some picture adjustments. They made my pictures and presentation overall look
better than it would’ve been.  To start
out, my pictures were great!

Now for Animoto; this is an online video program
that created my 2nd Digital Scrapbook. Animoto had great things on it just like
Smilebox. For starters, you didn’t have to download something to get to make
your video. I just made it, no downloading, no waste of time, no storage
wasted. The bad thing about it was that they did not have the options of
captions underneath the picture itself. They did have text but it would be in a
separate frame from the picture. Another thing is the video itself; Animoto wouldn’t
allow me to play their video without it putting a watermark on my photos
throughout the presentation.

Both Programs were great! I would recommend both
programs to you or someone looking for a great, quick, good quality video. My
only suggestion on Animoto is that you might want to pay for the Pro feature
which doesn’t cost much. Again, that is an optional thing. If I had to pick a
favorite program that I used, it would have to be Smilebox. It was such a good program;
the download time actually didn’t take long at all. Hope you can too enjoy
Smilebox and/or Animoto.

Enjoy both of them!

Scavenger Hunt

I took a few photos around my school, and had to be literally all over the place. Once I got done moving all over the school, I placed my photos into a Contact Sheet. Here is my Contact Sheet:

Here are a few of my favorite photos in the Contact Sheet: 

Medium  Shot of Something Seated

Low Angle of Something Red

Bird's Eye Shot

Close up of something Forgotten

Extreme Close up of an Eye

I chose these photos because, I got creative with them like, for a close up of something forgotten I took a picture of the Lost and Found Sign. These pictures were fun to take. I hope you enjoy my pictures just like I do.
