The photography home of the Lakelands Park Falcons.
I had a good and fun semester thanks to this class. I have always liked photography but not thought about it much. I think I learned to take better in photos and I have definitely changed the angle I take pictures. My favorite project might have been the smile because it was fun to ask people to smile. Im not sure that i would do photography as a career but I am probably going to continue to take it in high school. Because its a fun but challenging class.
For this project we had to take macro photography pictures. To do so we all had to use special apps/ cameras. Macro photography is taking pictures very close to show depth/defined detail. It was challenging to get the camera to focus because it was so close up, although it was very easy to take pictures because there is so much to take pictures of. I tried new camera tricks on vsco to take these pictures. Taking the pictures from a side view really helped show parts of things you normally wouldn’t notice. I would love to photograph a dogs nose because of the texture and different patterns it has.https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JRnRK9ATIXt_MIkvmrQUDOpaQil6CS1m
In this project we had to do things that wouldn’t really be done in other environment such as the street. This project is inspired by Carrie Mae Weems, you can see her pictures here http://carriemaeweems.net/bio.html
To edit my photos I used Instagram’s vignette tool. If I had a place to tell my family story I would do it in my basement. You would see my brother and i arguing on what to watch. You can find my pictures at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wVtXITu7lsWRcdcRlv0kDNlML1Kwghab
For this project we had to take pictures of people/things in action. Action could be caught in many ways but it was important for it to be caught while the picture is still visible to the viewer. The pictures shouldn’t have been hard to take if you knew what you were looking for. To take the best pictures I would’ve been able to take had to position myself to the right spot where you could no only see the thing in movement but you could also see the landscape in the back. For someone who is trying to take an action photo I recommend them to is to have the camera focused on the thing you specifically want to take a picture of, because if you don’t the viewer wont be able to tell what your taking a picture of. I would love to photograph a polo game because you could get the action of the horses moving while the players are also moving. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LTri8Q39i6D9e2YWVEj7T2gACB1dTGN4

My group took our pictures by taking our lights (Phone or mini light) and putting them in various formations. We set up the camera and kept it opened for 15 seconds. I took this picture by making lots of dots and lines. It worked vary well to have many people working at once to achieve the drawling. It was harder to remember to turn off the light when walking away because it produced unwanted lines. I got really annoyed when the lights would get really thick and produce a lot of light. Causing there to be no real shape to anything. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SmM5xUcuKtbbKN_QOxFtfrNlpkJWKLwN
For this project we did black background. To do that we had to stand in front of a black background then position the lights a certain way to prevent shadows.It was easy to found which potions made shadows, like doing peace signs. It was hard to find where the lights would shine.
For this project we did a infinite background. To do that we got behind the white background then we angled the light so there is no shadow showing. After we took the camera and took the picture.It worked well to use the white light, the yellow light created shadows and yellow edges. It was hard to position ourselves in a way where there was no shadow behind us.
