Motion Picture

Motion
Today we went outside and tried to capture motion. Another student went on a bike and we were to follow them with our camera as they rode by. This was supposed to make then be in focus and the background be blurry.

Gimp Assignment #4

Panoramic

We were told to take three sets of three pictures. Then using GIMP we were to make those pictures look like one long one.

Best Macro

Eiffel Tower Replica

This is a picture of the Eiffel Tower replica that I have on a shelf in my room. This picture is my favorite because of the perspective that it is from.
ISO: 800
Aperture Settings: f/2
Shutter Speed: 1/50 sec

Macro

Assignment Description: For this assignment I chose to do macro pictures. We were told to "reveal details not often seen" in objects. I think my picture do a pretty good job of that.

Picture Descriptions:
-The small Eiffel Tower replica I have in my room
-The Eiffel Tower replica from a different perspective
-The bottom part of the replica
-The carpet in my room
-A basketball
-The middle portion of the replica



What I Learned: During this assignment I learned that there is a lot more to be seen in things if you just take the time to look.

Gimp Assignment #3

Portrait Demos

For this assignment we were told to take two photos with different lighting situations. One was to be a picture using window lighting and a reflector that would shine the window light back on to the subjects other side. The other picture was to be in a studio with 3-Point-Lighting Setup. We were supposed to have a key light, a fill light, a hair light, and a backdrop.

Best Black and White Picture

Black and White Frozen Diet Dr. Pepper

I feel that this is my best black and white picture. I got really close up to the ice crystals. I think it looks really awesome! It is kinda cool how you probably couldn't guess what this was if you didn't already know.
ISO: 320
Aperture Settings: f/2
Shutter Speed: 1/30 sec

Black and White

Assignment Description:
For this category we had a lot of freedom. We could take a picture of basically anything. Then we were to turn it to black and white.  Some pictures look better this weay.

Picture Descriptions:
For my black and white pictures I took a picture of one of the Diet Dr. Peppers that froze and exploded outside. It was way too cold for them to be out there! I just saw it and thought that it would make a really cool set of pictures. I can't quite put a description of each one because they are all just a picture of the Dr. Pepper on my kitchen counter.






What I learned:
During this assignment I learned that I don't quite have to plan for a picture to happen. I was just doing my other homework when I saw it and decided that was my subject. I have developed a creative eye.
