The photography home of the Lakelands Park Falcons.
For this project the had to frame a person or object by using other objects to create a focal point in the picture. The reason I liked this project is because of how it is able to create such a magnificent picture. one of the things that I had found challenging about this project is finding a space where you are able to have good lighting and finding a good frame.
In this project, me and my group had to stand in front of a white backdrop and shine a light on each other. we had to make so the background would disappear or become inadvisable. I felt it was hard to get the right picture because I kept messing up and moving the camera.
When I was doing this assignment,
For this project we had to take pictures of 3 different objects and one of them had to be a person. We had to take 5 pictures from 5 different angles, and you had to do that for every object you used. One thing that was hard was finding 5 different angles for each picture. For me the hardest thing to find was the person because everybody kept moving.This project helped me learn how to take better pictures of people and objects and it helped me learn the different angles of different things.
We had to bring in a box of twenty four crayons and go around the school tacking pictures of them. you had to take a picture with a matching background for example is you had a green crayon you had to have a green background. It was a very fun project and it was simple but cool.
Most get there photos from google when you have a project to do or something like that, and most of the time you don’t add a link to the photographer credit for the photo that use used. Think about how you would feel if you worked hard on a photo and someone used it without giving you any
credit for the work you did. Well I made this logo so that when I upload a photo to google and someone uses the photo my logo they will see my logo and cant get rid of it and they will know that the photo they are using is mine. It make take some time to think of a logo and make original but it will be worth it. For example my logo is a camera made up of my initials and it has my name is under it.

Throughout this year in class, we have done many projects centered on improving our photography skills. Our first assignment was designing a creative brand logo to insert on our pictures. Afterwards, we did a number of other projects including “24 Colors”, “App Review”, “Infinite Background Portraits”, “Light Graffiti”, “Rule of Thirds”, “7 Days”, “Set in the Street”, “Newseum”, “Smile”, and “#ProLevel”. We had a chance to use editing softwares such as Adobe Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop in order to enhance our final products, too. In addition, we were required to write reflection responses on our websites that demonstrated our knowledge while allowing us to define the purpose of doing the project. Some of the highlights of this course was visiting the Newseum and putting together a mini “living room” in the main lobby for Arts Night. My thoughts have definitely changed about photography. Before taking this class, my impression of photography was that it was super easy, boring, and meaningless. I concluded that it was just taking pictures. However, I realized that photography has a deeper meaning — it’s an art that calls for tons of practice and patience. In other words, it’s harder than it looks. I have changed the way I take pictures as well. Now, I use techniques like composition (rule of thirds), lighting, and color. My favorite project was “24 Colors” because it was challenging yet fun. I loved how you had to be original and think outside of the box. Photography does interest me as a career. No doubt, I want to continue learning it next year in high school. Not only does it teach you valuable lessons and allow you to see how much beauty is all around you, but it also enables you to capture a memory that lasts forever. Overall, it is thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile!
Throughout winter break, we worked on a project called “Smile”. Our goal for this assignment was to create a collection of 30 photos. This means that we had to gather pictures of 15 different people — one photo of them smiling and another photo of the same person not smiling. After this, we put the two photos side by side to become aware of the fact that we tend to create stereotypes of someone even when we haven’t actually met them. This is especially true when we see a non-smiling face. Though there wasn’t much of a difference between both photos in some cases, the change is usually apparent most instances. For example, a lady is shown smiling on the right hand part of the photo below. Her smile is warm and welcoming, portraying the image that she has a bright, friendly nature. I would gladly approach this lady and start a conversation with her only because her face seems inviting. It causes you to think that she will be happy to talk to you. On the other hand, I would be reluctant and super nervous to go toward the same lady who is not smiling. Truthfully, I would keep my distance because the lady’s straight face reveals that she isn’t interested to talk to you. It is also scary and intimidating to say the least. However, she is still that kind person on the inside. All in all, the point of this project was to reflect on our actions and take away an extremely important lesson. We are all prone to being a little too quick to judge. Assuming something about someone is not right; instead, we should take the time to know the person before supposing that our guesses are true.
I am thankful for my family because they support me unconditionally and motivate me to be the best version of myself that I can possibly be. From manners to responsibility, my family has taught me everything I need to know in life from the beginning. Likewise, I can always count on them to be there for me when times are tough as they keep me focused on the path ahead. They refuse to give up on me regardless of what happens. All in all, I simply would not be here without them.
I am thankful for music because it brings happiness. When you’re feeling down, it can improve your mood drastically. Sometimes, music has a deeper meaning–it has the power to bring you back to a vivid memory and spark particular emotions. Those who have to ability to play an instrument or sing are granted with the opportunity to share joy and happiness with others who need it. No matter if it’s background music or live entertainment, it makes any event more delightful.
I am thankful for art because it reflects the freedom of expression. Since the only thing that can possibly hold artists back is their own creativity, there are no boundaries. They create emotion and feeling with their works of art, infusing their hopes, dreams, worries, and more into their projects with a wide range of tools as well as media available. Lastly, life is more enjoyable in a life full of art. We take the art that surrounds us everyday for granted, failing to realize how dull the Earth would be without it.
I am thankful for good health. The capacities allowed by our health is directly dependent on our emotional and physical strength. It is the foundation of who you are. Therefore, I understand that good health is one of life’s greatest blessings! Without it, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy life to the fullest or strive to achieve our goals. In addition, we would simply be unable to do many everyday activities easily.
I am thankful for food. It’s heartbreaking to know that world hunger remains a persistent problem despite the efforts of many nations and organizations working to reduce it. Sadly, hunger is a daily reality in a number of countries in the world. We tend to forget how fortunate we are to have an abundance of food. If we put ourself in someone else’s shoes (who was suffering from starvation), we would realize how grateful we should be to find food in our fridge everyday without having to go great distances. With that being said, it is such a crucial part of our survival.
I am thankful for nature. The breathtaking scenery of trees, trails, mountains, rivers, and lakes are priceless. Best of all, these beautiful places are away from the city atmosphere. The great outdoors can certainly be comforting, too. The fresh air has this amazing power to open your mind, give you clarity, and decrease levels of stress. There’s nothing like immersing yourself in nature!
I am thankful for freedom. Fortunately, we live in a country where we have the right to openly express ourselves. Life without the freedom of choice, expression, and how we want to live would be misery to most of us. Existing under circumstances where you are told how to live, think, behave, and be is reality in some countries. We should be grateful that our country, America, deeply values freedom.
