Panning

One Person Walking

This picture was taken infront of the 2 building. With this picture I had problems getting the face in focus. I choose this picture because it was one of the few in which Carlo's face actually came out in the frame. For this picture I was trying to use a low shutter speed around 1/20sec. This picture could be improved by having more panning than actual blur.

One Person Running

This picture was taken infront of the 2 building as well. It was kinda difficult because I couldn't find the right shutterspeed to get the background blurred correctly. I picked this picture because again his face, it came out really focus and that's what I was trying to capture. For this picture I was also trying a low shutter speed. It could be improved maybe by getting better lighting.

Multiple People Running

 

This picture was also taken infront of the 2 building. Again with the backgrond, it came out more blurry than actual streeks. I picked this picture because it looks good, one person is in focus and the action looks good with the panning. In this picture I was trying a higher shutter speed around 1/50sec. It could be improved by having a more dramatic panning for the backgrund.

 Vehicle Moving

  

I took this picture infront of the teacher's parking lot. This picture was hard to capture because the car was moving to fast and at the same time I was trying to get the camera to focus. This was also a good representation because Mr.Pederson is in focus and the angle makes the picture look more interesting. For this picture I was trying to get a fast shutter speed in which the car would show up in the frame. I think it could be improve by having better panning.

Vehicle Moving #2

I took this picture infront of the teacher's parking lot as well. Also I had trouble capturing the entire car in the frame. I thought this was the best representation of the skill because it's probly the best picture I took where the panning showed up well. For this picture I was just trying to capture light into the picture because it was really cloudy that day. It could be improved by maybe getting a better angle.

Shutter Speed Exercises

STOP ACTION: JUMPING

I took this picture infront of the couseling office.

A problem I had before I took this picture was the light settings, the picture taken before this one was almost completely black.  This picture was the best representation because the action was caugth right in the middle of the air and its completely in focus. The setting that was wrong with the previous picture was that the shutter speed was really low 1/2000 sec. compared to this one which is 1/320 sec. I think this picture could be improved if it had a better background.

STOP ACTION: RUNNING

In this picture I was ontop of the grass infront of the administration building. This picture was kinda difficult because the car wasn't going quite fast enough. This picture is the best representation because the action is in focus. With this shot I had problems catching a good angle since the action is moving as your shooting. This picture could be improved by having a better angle.

STOP ACTION: DROPPING

I took this picture infront of the Media center. This picture was really hard to capture because the leaves were falling too fast and there wasn't any time to actually take the picture. This is the best representation since the action is spontanious. For this picture we basically had to change every possible setting because the leaves weren't being captured in the frames. This picture could be improved by not having things in the background that blend in with the object.

MOTION BLUR: RUNNING

This picture was taken infront of the water fountain on the side of the Media center. It was hard to take because the sun in the background wasn't allowing anything in the foreground to look like it's in focus because it's really bright and over exposed. I thought this was the best representation because of the motions blurryness and the shadow kinda create this depth of field. For this shot it was really hard to make the background focused. This picture could be improved by getting the whole subject in the frame.

MOTION BLUR: ACTION

This picture was taken in between the 2 building and the student store. For this picture just the object itself was hard to capture because we were shaking the tree and we were trying not to capture the person inside of the frame.  This is the best representation because the motion is blured and it looks really cool since its a plant and they dont really move on their own.This picture was actually quite hard to get because the camera wouldn't focus on the focal point and so we had to get the hang of holding down the shutter. This picture could be improved by having the background really crisp.

 

Framing

Man-Made

I think this picture works because the tunnel itself is the frame and the end of it is the central point. I took this picture upclose but from an angle so I could capture the depth.

This picture works because the Puma symbol is in a bright color so it pops and also everything else for the most part is blury and the Puma is in focus. I took this picture by grabbing my necklace and making that the frame.

Natural

I think this picture works because half the leaf has actual color and the rest of the picture is washed out. When I took this picture my intention was to make the dead part of the leaf the frame for the colored part of the leaf.

 
I think this picture works because there are layers within the leaves. I took this picture from above to capture the bottom leaves in between the top layer.


Architectural

I really like this picture because there's alot to look at. I took this picture by trying to capture the hallway in between the window frame. And I also liked the color scheme in between my shadow.



I like this picture because of the colors, it's kinda blurry but I liked that because I thought it created sort of a candle light effect. I took this by trying to capture the walls.


 This assigment was challenging because there wasn't anything to make your central point at the end of the frame. I over came this by using the frame itself as a point.

Pattern

Man-Made

I think this picture works because it shows the repetition of the subject very well. I tried to move at an angle in which I would be able to capture all of the windows in the shot. I think it looks nice because the colors and the reflection from the windows.

This picture works because there's alot of the little patterns. I tried to take the picture from an angle down low so I could capture the sunlight in the background. I think it's successful because of the leading lines within the pattern itself.

Natural

This picture works because there's a pattern in the colors. I tried to take the picture so it looked like I was somewhat inside the bush. I think  it came out successful because the colors compliment each other.

This picture works because there's a pattern in the little flower things. When I took this picture I tried to capture the shadow in the background because I really liked that. I think it looks nice because the flowers are really bright.

Improve

I liked this picture because of the angle but it came out blurry in the front, I could improve it by putting the camera in focus.

Well

 I think this picture demostrates that im doing well in rule of thirds and leading lines. I liked this picture because its interesting and nobody ever looks a waterfountain from this point of view.  

Angles

Above

Below

This is probly my strongest shot because all the lines lead towards the object and its mainly the only color so it pops, and its in focus so it looks nice since the front of the picture is blurry it creates a depth of feel.

Straight

Composion

I used rule of thirds for this picture, it effects the picture because it draws attention to the wheel which then creates a scene. I took this picture from below so i could capture the wheel and the whale.

Improve

I thought I needed to improve this picture because its out of focus and i think that if it would of been in focus the feeling of the picture would change and grab more attention towards the object.

The most challenging thing would probly be finding things to relate the object with so it kind of makes sence with why your taking the picture.

Lines

Vertical

For this picture I tried to take the shot from the lowest angle possible which didn't really work out because this plant was super small. I was going for a straight line from the stem leading up to the leaf.

I think this is the strongest for a vertical line because it draws your eye straight foward, even though there are other lines intersecting with it.

 Diagonal

I like this diagonal line because the palm tree trunk looks really cool from this angle and it draws your eye up which also goes with the angle.

For this picture I tried tilting the camera, I was trying to create depth.

Horizontal

I think this picture is the strongest for a horizontal line because the light is really bright and it kinda just keeps your focus there.

The most challenging thing was finding what to photograph since we had to stay within the school.
I think if we got a chance to go outside of school on a field trip or something it would be more exciting.
And I could improve by finding different ways to take pictures.

BEFORE

AFTER

For this picture i changed the color contrast so the picture changed colors and i played around with the levels.

 BEFORE

AFTER

I don't remember quite what I did but I think I changed the contrast and brightened the picture; I didn't change it a whole lot.

Rule of Thirds

I think this picture best fits the best description for the rule of thirds because the ladybug is dead centered on the axis of where the lines whould be. Also after looking at the ladybug since its bright red you eyes drifts to the background and you notice its blurry your attention goes straight back to the ladybug.

 

Use of Lines

 

This picture really shows the use of lines because your eyes go straight into the tunnel, it almost seems realistic.




Fill the Frame

I like this picture for fill the frame because its completely filled and theres only one subject going into play.
