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.

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.

This was my favorite project to complete out of every one we did this year.  It was awesome to be able to show my creative side.  Abstract art is one of my favorite forms of art, especially with photographs.  I hope next year I will be able to show even more creativity.  My favorite pictures from this project are symmetrical balance and the song lyrics photo.  Those pictures help me find who I am as a photographer and an artist.

b.                                              Song for image overlay with text

I took 5 photos of me where I looked depressed and gothic.  The song talks about someone who lost a person who was important in their life.  I chose the lines, "Don't try to fix me i'm not broken.  Hello, i'm the lie living for you so you can hide, don't cry".  In the pictures I took, I am playing the role of the "lie living for you".  The "lie" is a dark and scary thing in the artist's mind.  In the song the artist is trying to express that she does not need another person to try and help her get through the pain, she will get through it by herself.  She is lying to herself to cope with the issue but on the outside she seems fine.  This song really spoke to me and I liked the message that I was given.

c. For all of my image overlay photos I took pictures of my friend, Lucy.  I photographed her doing different actions for each of them.

Motion Final

Panning:

ISO 125 f/22 shutter speed 1/20

Zooming:

ISO 100 f/22 shutter speed 1.3 seconds

Writing with light:

ISO 125 f/5.6 shutter speed 13 seconds

Chrono:

ISO 250 f/14 shutter speed 1/125

Frozen:



ISO 6400 f/14 shutter speed 1/320

Blurred:

ISO 400 f/32 shutter speed 1/30

After working with all of the types of shutter speeds, I learned how to take a variety of different pictures.  I had never used panning or zooming before, and it was fun to learn something new.  I had worked with blurred and frozen motion previously, but I didn't know the other ways that pictures can be taken. 

My favorite picture from this assignment is the panning of the balloon.  I think that it turned out nicely, and it showcases what I can do as a photographer.  I also like the picture of the clock because I think it turned out really cool.  If I were to do this project again I would try new ways to do writing with light.  Writing with light was the most fun to shoot, and there are different types of light I could use.  Also, next time I would challenge myself with the chrono and have the subject overlap.

Motion Shooting Assignment

I think that my successes were with panning and frozen motion.  The last panning picture of the balloon is my best shot.  I had many different areas where I took the pictures so that there would be a variety.  A difficulty that I had was the white balance being off in some of the shots.  Some of them are yellow, but I can change that when I edit them.

Motion- In Class

Blurred Motion:

ISO 400 f/6 shutter speed 1/25

I took this photo by setting up a low shutter speed and using a tripod.  I made the subject move so that he appeared blurry.

Panning:

ISO 6400 f/14 shutter speed 1/30

I took this picture by following the ball with my camera while he bounced it.  I used a slow shutter speed and focused on the ball.  There was no tripod needed to do this shot.

Frozen Motion:

ISO 400 f/5.6 shutter speed 1/25

I took this photo by using a very fast shutter speed and a tripod.  The shot was taken while the subject was moving.

Zooming:

ISO 400 f/22 shutter speed 1 second

I took this photo by using a slow shutter speed.  I zoomed in on the focused subject while the camera was taking the picture to create this affect.
