Glow Stick Project

This week, we had a cool project consisting of glow sticks and the very dark place. The objective was to capture the glow sticks in motion with a trail of light. I used an ISO 1250, shutter speed of 5.0, and f-stop of 3.5. This picture would've been almost perfect if the light on Angelica's camera wasn't flashing. This is my most near perfect picture because the background was pitch black.

Action Framing Pt 2

This photo was taken for the assignment action and framing. I was able to capture Ally skipping while framing her using the gate. I took this photo with and ISO 125, shutter speed of 1/250, and f-stop of 10.0.

Water Drops

The assignment given to us today was to capture water. We set up a bowl, and a dropper, and attempted to capture a water drops. I set the mode on Auto because I wasn't too sure what to use for this assignment, and my main objective was to capture a water drop hitting the bowl of water. It took me many tries to capture this due to precision and timing. Timing was an important key factor in this assignment.  I used an ISO 200, shutter speed of 1/60, and f-stop of 4.8 I also used the camera Auto for this photograph.

Framing Action

This is my framing and action photo. I took this using landscape mode. It is an ineffective photo because the action was blurry. I should've upped the shutter speed. I used ISO 400, and shutter speed of 1/8, and f-stop of 4.0. I could've taken a better photograph.  

Studio Work

This photo was taken with the studio lights and a stencil of a heart. I cropped the photo so you could see the heart in his eyes better. I didn't use flash because using flash would have ruined the photograph. I used an ISO of 1600 because the room was very dark. I also used an f-stop of 4.8. This is an effective photo because I was able to capture the heart shape stencil in his pupil.

Flower...

This photograph was taken with Landscape mode, with a f-stop of 10, and ISO 1600. I liked how the dandelion was in contrast with the grass in the background.  

Bugs / Pattern

The other day, we were assigned to take photos of bugs using pattern as the composition. The main focus for me, was to take pictures of a bug. Even though this doesn't follow the 'Pattern" composition, I am very fond of this photograph. I took multiple shots of the fly, and didn't realized that I took a photo of the fly eating something, and this was when the fly was done eating something. This photograph was taken on landscape mode, f-stop of 5.6, ISO 1600. I used a higher ISO because the area where I was in while taking this picture in was pretty shady.

Adults/ Leading Lines

For the assignment the other day, we were required to take photographs of adults while using the composition of leading lines. This was an effective photograph because I used the curved pathway as leading lines, that led to the security guards at the end of the path. Also, the chain gates  can be used to help focus the viewer towards the center of the photograph. This photograph was taken on landscape mode, f-stop of 10, ISO 1600. I used a high ISO at the time because there was an overcast outside.

Sky / Symmetry

This photo was taken with landscape mode, f-stop of 20, ISO 1600, and shutter speed of 1/1600. I decided to take the picture of the front of the school and look up at the top entrance of the building. Since the assignment was to have symmetry and the sky in the photo, I decided to be creative and  use the sky as a background as I took a photograph of something symmetrical.

3 Compositions in 1 Photo

This is an effective photograph because it goes with the assignment's criteria. I was able to use three different photo compositions: rule of third, perspective,  and contrast. I took this photo on landscape mode, with an ISO 800, f-stop of 10, and shutter speed of 1/200. I used a high ISO because the area of where I captured the photo was dark due to shading. For perspective, I decided to take it from the side rather than looking straight at it so it isn't boring. All together, I think this is a very effective photograph.

Light Box Part 2!

This is a better quality light box photograph that I took the other day. It came out absolutely stunning, in my opinion! I think it came out more effective because of the contrast from the object and the backdrop. It was taken with ISO 400, f-stop of 4.5, and a shutter speed of 1/20. This is a very effective photograph mainly because of the contrast between the tennis ball and the backdrop!

Action

This action photograph was taken with a shutter speed of 1/3200, a f-stop of 8, and ISO of 800. This is a very effective action photo because I was able to capture action; which is people doing cartwheels. My objective of this picture was to be able to capture action without it being blurry.

School Spirit!

This photo was taken with portrait mode for "School Spirit." This picture was taken with an ISO of 100,  and a f-stop of 4.0. To be honest, this is one of my weakest pictures because I rushed myself to get this photograph on "School Spirit Day."

Macro Lens

This photo was taken with the Macro lens. While on this project, I was able to play around with the lens to get a better sense of it. I learned that the macro lens is best used for taking very up-close photos. This photo was taken with "Close-Up" mode with an ISO of 100. I should have increased the ISO so the photo would've came out more better, in my opinion.

Capturing Emotions

This is an effective photo capturing emotion because when you look at her face, you can see that she is happy and having a good time. My objective for this project was to capture emotion so that the person looking at the photograph will know how the subject is feeling, and because I was able to achieve this, I consider this to be an effective photo. This photo was taken on "Portrait" mode.

Light Box

This photograph was taken in a light box. This was my first time using the light box. We were just practicing on how the light boxes worked, and this is how one of them came out. We didn't use flash because we used two light sources from the side. Also, we used a blue backdrop.I liked how the photograph came out because I like how there is a small shadow around the phone. I think the photo would've came out more effective if the cloth in the back didn't have any creases so it would look like one smooth background, just like those photos taken for products in magazines! 
This photo was taken with a f-stop of 4.0, shutter speed of 1/25, and ISO 800.

Spring

This photo was taken with a 200 ISO and in portrait mode. This was an effective photo because I was able to get only the flower in portrait. It would've came out better if I used the "Close-Up" mode on just the flower.

Shutter Speed and ISO

This photograph was taken with an f-stop of 29.0, a shutter speed of 1/5, and an ISO 110. This is an effective photo because I was able to focus on her being still, and the people in action blurred. I took another photo with the same meta data, but with a shutter speed of 1/30 and there wasn't as much blur of action in the photo. If I used a higher ISO in the photographs I took, I think the photograph would've came out much better.

Shutter Priority

These photograph were taken with a shutter speed of 1/3200 and an f-stop of 8. Because I used a higher shutter speed, I was able to capture her in action without there being any blurriness. This is an effective action photo because I was able to capture her in focus while she was in action.

Shutter Priority

This photo was taken with a shutter speed of 1/10 with a f-stop of 22. This is an effective photo because I was able to capture the stillness of the photo and was able to capture the movement which came out in a nice blur. I like the way it came out because I was able to capture both stillness and action and it came out very nice! 

Manual Focus Photos

This photograph was taken with a shutter speed of 1/2000, with an f-stop of 6.3. This is very effective photo because I  used the right shutter speed and the right aperture with the help of the light meter on the camera.

This photograph was taken with a 1/4000 shutter speed, with a f-stop of 13.0. This photo is too dark because I used the fastest shutter speed which didn't let much light in.  

This photograph was taken with a 1/320 shutter speed with a f-stop of 25. This photo came out like this because I used a "normal" shutter speed but with a smaller aperture.

This photograph was taken with a shutter speed of 1.0 and a f-stop of 25.0. The photo came out like this because the shutter speed was too slow and let in too much light.

Aperture

This is an effective aperture photo because I was able to get the first person in the front in focus.

This is another effective aperture photo because I was able to get the first two people in line in focus.

Aperture Ruler..

This is an effective aperture photograph because the whole entire ruler in focus due to the aperture being small, f-stop being higher, and the depth of field being bigger.

Aperture Ruler

This is an effective aperture photo because not the whole ruler is in focus due to the aperture being big, the f-stop being low, and the depth of field is small.

Reflection Photograph

This is an ineffective Reflection photograph because the reflection of the person didn't really come out as well as I wanted too. I also don't like the way the bars on the door cuts the reflection. All together, I feel like this is an ineffective photograph.

Reflection Photograph

This is an effective reflection photograph, because it's a reflection of my reflection on a mirror. This photograph was taken in Landscape Mode ISO 200. I find this picture to be very effective because I find it to be a unique reflection photograph.
