Light Graffiti

Light Graffiti

We took our pictures by putting the camera to manual, used F-Stops ISO setting.  We had to put the shutter speed to 10 seconds and during those 10 seconds we used our light to make a design.  What worked was using a flashlight.  What didn’t work was using the light from your phone.  What frustrated me during the project was getting everybody to do their design on time and finding backgrounds to do.   To look at the rest of my photos click here.

Rule of Thirds

Rule of Thirds

  I would say putting the grid setting worked.  What didn’t work was taking pictures of people hugging.  My thoughts on rule of thirds is that it can help to make the picture better and more interesting.  My thoughts haven’t changed really.  So there is 2 lines going vertically and 2 lines horizontal, you have to put the main thing in your picture on one of the 2 lines.  I usually put the object in one of the 2 lines.  You can see the rest of my photos here.

Portraits With Black Background

Portraits With Black Background

To take pictures we used the camera on manual and used a light to put it on the person, not on the background.  We stood in front of the light so it won’t get on the black background.  I would say what didn’t work was putting the light on the background, it made the background stay brighter then its supposed to be.  What worked was turning the person lighter, so the background looks like a black hole.  If you want to see all my pictures click here

Portraits with an Infinite Background

So to take the photos we had to put the camera to manual, we had to hold a light too.  The background was a white paper.  To edit the photos we had to go to Adobe Photoshop but not to photoshop but to change the light settings.  I added a picture I took and messed with the contrast and the background lightness.  So I made the background lighter and the person darker.  Then I cut the edges because it was yellow.  I would say the person being color than just grey is better.  What didn’t work was the contrast of black and white.  If you want to see the rest of my photos, click here

1 Object, 5 Shots

1 Object, 5 Shots

For this week’s project we had to find three objects and take 5 shots in different angles.  The challenging part of the project was to find different angles.  The hardest object to photograph was the white board because the white board was hung up and it was huge.  This project helped me learn about different angles I didn’t even know about.    If you want to see the rest of my 15 pictures then click here.
