7 Days

7 Days

For this project, I took pictures of the things that meant the most to me so far in my life, I took pictures of my pets relatives and some places that had helped me through the years. This project was 7 days long and it made me think about what I am most thankful for.

  1. My second dog, George, is the most important thing in my life. We adopted him from a shelter that would have put him down if he could not find a home. So we adopted him at the age of 4 and now he is 10. He means so much to me and he helped bring me and my dad closer than ever.
  2. A picture of my first dog, Teena, she was adopted before I was born and passed away 3 years ago. I was very upset when she went, but she made my house feel more like a home.
  3. A box of Teena, my dog’s ashes, and her collar. We kept it so we can remember her forever. It stays in the middle of our house so we can all feel close to her.
  4. My dad, he helped me through rough times and helped me keep motivated when I was having trouble inn school. I am most thankful for him because I would not be able to be the person I am without him.
  5. My house. This placed was a last resort when my dad could not find a place to move into when my parents split up. I was so happy to find a home close to my old house so I could stay near my friends and go to school with them.
  6. My bed. It helps me get to sleep at night and it is one of the places that makes me feel safe. When I wake up in the morning, I see my dog next to my bed and it always makes me feel happy and ready for the day.
  7. My bike. I helps me get to school everyday on time and I can always count on it to get me places close by. I rely on it a lot every day and this is one of the things I am most grateful for.
Action photos

Action photos

For this project, we had to take pictures of moving objects. What helped capture good images was setting up the shot where you can tell if the object is moving, for example, if you wanted to jump, you would take it in mid-air so you can tell that the person that is jumping is moving. A tip I would give to take good pictures is using the burst mode if your camera has that setting so you can just use the setting while somebody is doing an action and the after chose which picture in the burst works well or is your favorite. if I could take any action photo I could, I would take a picture of a waterfall.

Here are some of my favorites…

Up close

Up close

In this project, we had to take pictures of up close things. What worked well for these pictures was using super macro and taking pictures of a single object. The new thing I tried was taking pictures up close of plants that I would usually just ignore. If I had the ability to go take an up close picture of anything, I would take an up close picture of  drops of water reflecting of of something to make the drop of water colorful.
