[My Reflection] 
Took me an hour to take a full-body picture that I don't cringe at too much. Not only did I dread taking photos of just only me, but after finalising my photo, I realised I took it from the wrong perspective. Oh well, just have to work with what I have. I recorded a video of me posing differently and screenshot the ones I want, this prevents me from running back and forth to press the button. Then, the screenshot is edited.

[Recolouring B&W Photo]
Followed a demo video. I was still trying to get the hang of it.

Next, we had the freedom to choose from a folder of b&w portrait photos and turn them into a coloured photo.

FEEDBACK

REFLECTION

Project 2B was kind of mundane and torturing for me to go through BUT I finally learned more of the technical sides in Photoshop that I try to always avoid, as usual. The part where we have to colour B&W photos was quite informational to me. Doing this project also reminds me that I have to buy a proper tall phone stand because I literally taped a selfie stand to a chair, and the chair is on top of stacks of books, that took 20 minutes to set up correctly.
