This class was an interesting and funny experience. Yes. Now i think photography is fun. I haven’t changed the way I take photos. My favorite project was the scavenger hunt because it was easy and I didn’t even have to try. Photography does interest me as a career because it is very interesting and going froward, I would wanna take the class in high school.

During this project, we had to take at leat ten close up and focused pictures of living and non-living objects. For this project, finding things to take pictures worked well. I tried nothing new for this project. There was nothing difficult about this project because you could literally take close up pictures about anything. If I had the equipment and time, I would like to photograph small animals or insects. To see the rest of my pictures, click here.

During this project, we had to take black and white photos around the kitchen table. The pictures had to end up telling a story. For my groups project, we use Carrie Mae Weems as an inspiration. To edit these pictures, in photoshop, I had to use multiple tools.  I used the marque tool. If I had to take photos like this to show my family’s story, I would take them to a resturant because we love food a why not. To see the rest of my pictures click here.

During this project, we were told to take pictures that captured things in movement. We had to take pictures of people moving and the picture had to be taken in a way where their position couldn’t possibly be posed for. Because of that, for this project, I told the people I photographed to jump or run so when I captured their image, the pose they were in could not be a position that could be imitated.  For the pictures in this project, the pictures also had to be edited in different ways so that they were altered from their original self. For anyone else doing this project, I would say that you should take a lot of photos of the same thing so that later, you have a variety of pictures to choose from. If one picture didn’t turn out the way you wanted, one of the other pictures most likely did. If I could photograph ant sport, I would photograph football. This is because in football, there is always constant movement everywhere and there’s a lot of actions to take pictures of. To see the rest of my photos click here.

Finding people to take pictures of and asking people to take pictures of them was hard. When people smile they look happy and carefree and happy. If I already knew the person i’m taking pictures of then I would already know about their life and I wouldn’t be able to guess it from the pictures. When hired as a photographer, you should ask questions such as what country are you from and how old are you.  to see the rest of my photos click here.

We had to take pictures with the object/person in just one of the two sides or the rule of third grids of the camera grid. Rule of thirds helps to get very good and professional looking pictures. My thoughts did not change from the beginning of the project. The “lines” I used in my photos are grid lines on the camera that are also rule of third lines. They are one of the 9 boxes on the camera grid and if what is supposed to be the main focus of your picture is on one of the interception lines of the grid, the focus will be more defined and clear to see. I set up the shots so that the thing i wanted to focus on would be on one of the interception lines. To see the rest of my pictures click here.

We took out pictures by adjusting the camera settings so that the camera would only pick up movement of glowing flashlights and glowsticks, not people or anything in the background. Not having the timer set for the right amount of time did not work. The pictures would come out incomplete. The shapes we were trying to draw also have to be shaped/drawn correctly so that our picture actually made a scene instead of looking like just scribbles and random lines. However, the pictures worked and turned out nice when the timer was set for the right amount of time and everybody correctly outlined their shapes/objects. It was very frustrating to draw the object we needed to draw because there was nothing to draw and the air needed to be traced based on what the shape might look like. I think that this project could be taken to the next level if multiple people could be traced in a scene to make it look like an event was happening. To see the rest of my pictures click here. 

This assignment we had to take a picture in front of a background but also you can’t see the background. The white background needed more light for the picture so we had to adjust the settings to fit that. The pictures with the dark background needed less light in the background so we used a setting that didn’t capture as much light. Holding the light up higher was easier to capture the right amount of light in the picture. Pointing the light right at my face was not good because there was shadow in the background.
