Motion Demo Assignment

Motion Demo

~Best Picture~

          From this demo, I learned how to pan with the image to get the desired picture. Also, I learned how to  use my skills from the previous weeks and change the shutter speed and aperture accordingly. I enjoyed this demo and I think the picture turned out well.

Photo Assignment #2 Black and White

~My Best Photo~
ISO: 200
Shutter Speed: 1/125
Aperture: F 7.1

             This assignment was such a fun one. I got together with my friends Carolyn and Justin and we just started taking a bunch of pictures. This picture is my best because I really liked how the lighting made Justin really dark and the background much lighter. It really helps draw the attention to just him. It was very windy and cold that day but they still managed to look wonderful! The only not fun part was when I almost slipped into the creek. As funny as it would have been later, I was quite shaken.

Photoshop Car Assignment:

      For this assignment we were given a picture (taken by Noelle Jacobs) and we were supposed to edit and enhance it. My favorite thing I learned was how to adjust the levels. I think that it was great because it really just makes the picture that much better.  This was a great assignment and these skills will really help with my coming projects.

Inspirations for My First Assignment

I decided to do people for my first assignment. I was inspired by Magiej Zyglarski Photography. Especially this picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/baddogdiabolo/5140522359/
I loved this picture because it really showed the love they feel for one another and they both look so happy. I love the darkness of the picture even though the subjects are smiling so big.
What I hope to capture is some genuine smiles and love just like this picture I was inspired by.

People Assignment #1

~My Best Photo~

ISO: 80

Shutter Speed: 1/50

Aperture: F 2.8

Summary:

                    For this assignment, I took pictures of my two friends Natalie and Rachel Dolbin. I had these sisters come over to my house and we went into the woods in my backyard and just took a bunch of random pictures. This one is my best because I captured them while they were genuinely smiling (which was very difficult to do) and I loved all of the trees surrounding them. The only thing that really made it difficult was that it was extremely cold. So other than our "frost bitten" hands, it was fun!
