To take our pictures we needed to be in a very dark area with little to no light for the streaks to show. It worked to go over an area several times just in case the light didn’t create a defined enough drawing. It was frustrating when the drawing came out incomplete or unfinished. Using low light didn’t work, we had to turn thee light on our phones all the way up. To take this project to the next level, I recommend using different color light to better paint a picture.
Macro Portrait
For the project we had to take close up pictures of Legos to make a paint picture. I used similar techniques from the Macro project including, getting close up to the subject and steadily taking the picture.
Macro
We were asked to use our cameras to capture a very well defined photo of something small. What worked well was taking pictures of things that were not moving. If I could I’d photograph ants. Here are the rest of my pics.
Action Pictures
In this project we had to take pictures of things in motion/action. In order to capture good images I had to hold down the shutter button on my iphone so I could catch things moving without blur. Tips I have for someone else who’s doing the project is to 100% hold down the shutter button. If I could photograph a sport it would be football because that is my favorite sport. Here are my pictures.
Rule of Thirds
Framing project
For our framing we had to take a photo using different things to frame the picture like door frames, fences, door ways, etc. Some challenges to this project were finding the proper frames.
White Portrait
For the white background I stood in front of the white background and I had someone shine the light behind me on the background so there wouldn’t be a shadow. That worked. What didn’t work was shining the light directly on me because that would have made a casted a shadow on the background.

1 object, 5 shots.
For “5 shots” I had to take 5 photos at 5 different camera angles of 3 different objects. I took pictures of a mouse, Maansur, and Mimi. I found it challenging to find different camera angles for the pictures. The hardest object to take a picture of was Mimi because she wouldn’t stop moving. This project helped understand how I can use different angles to make my pictures look better in the future. The picture below is my favorite because Maansur looks cool.

Black Background.
We had to mess with the settings and shutter speed to get the correct lighting for all the pictures. We also had to shine the light on the side of the persons face because if we shines in in front of them the background would be too visible. Here are the rest of our group photos.

24 Crayons
We had to take pictures of crayons with the same color background as the crayon, I found it hard to find the correct angle for the pictures. I found it easy to find monochromatic backgrounds for the corresponding color. Here are the rest of my photos.
