HDR Shooting Assignment

HDR Examples

Leading Lines

I liked how the photo was taken from a lower angle and how the sky was incorporated

Symmetrical Balance

I found the architecture of the building very beautiful and you can see all of the details of it
 

Different Perspective
It is interesting to see this shot taken from an aerial view

Asymmetrical Balance
I liked how the vibrancy of the balloons contrasts with the black background

Repetition/Pattern
I liked how the photographer took the shot from an interesting angle instead of taking it straight on

Framing
I liked how this picture was laid out, and you can see all of the details of the tree limb

Personal List of HDR Locations

1. Hershey Stadium- My favorite thing to do is go to concerts during the summer in Hershey
2. Hershey Park- I spend a lot of my time in the summer going to Hershey Park with my friends
3. Skyview- This ride has a lot of memories, and I have had great conversations on it
4. Chic Hair Designs- My uncle owns this salon, and I grew up going there all the time
5. Pergola- I take my homecoming and other dance pictures here.
6. My Room- This is my favorite room in my house, and I spend my time here

Sketchbook Cover/Identity Project

The quote I chose was "It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going" which is featured in the Paramore song Last Hope.  This relates to my life, because I interpreted the "spark" as music, and music is a very big part of my life and it keeps me strong.  I also love the band Paramore, and the lyric tied in with the musical theme for the cover.  I would describe myself as unique, and I like to express myself with the music I listen to.  I used photos I took at Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars concerts, pieces of confetti from a Lorde concert, and various concert tickets to convey a message about who I am and what I'm interested in.  I am very pleased with the end result of the cover.  It is exactly what I had envisioned in my head.  If I were to do this project again, maybe I would add more pictures, but I am happy with how it is now.

HDR Article Notes

HDR Shots at CV

ISO 100 f/22 shutter speed: 1/30 1/125 1/8

I took this photo of the scoreboard because football games are a big representation of school spirit.  A large part of CV is dedicated to sports, so I wanted to show that through this.  This photo was my favorite because of the vibrant colors.

ISO 400 f/22 1/50 1/100 1/20

I chose to take this photo at this location because of the incorporation of symmetrical balance.  I loved how when the photo was edited it was given a painting effect.

ISO 100 f/22 shutter speeds: 1/30 1/125 1/8

I liked this photo because of how it was laid out.  It also features the track and football field, which is something I think of when I picture CV.

Summer Assignment

This was my favorite picture taken during the summer.  I took this when I was visiting my dad in New Hampshire.  I love it because it is so clear, and the DOF is awesome.
