3. I was there!

Put a photo of yourself in a historic or note worthy event. You are going for the "unaltered" look here. You will need to use colour correction and blend your edges seamlessly. When you have finished the exercise, save it as I was there and show it to me on your screen.

4. Scaled Image

Create a picture that shows a person in a scene that is either much too large, or much too small for them (for example, a person standing amongst buildings or skyscrapers, or a person standing underneath a cat or dog). Try to make it look as real as possible. Save the file as Scaled Image and submit a copy to the Hand In drive in the appropriate folder.
