For this project I had to turn the lights off at my gym. I then got someone to move there phone light in a specific shape as I took and exposure shot. I used 100 ISO for the best results. I had to get a color on my phone. I moved the light around to create shapes. I took an exposure shot and all the light was in the shot. Then, I used a light to highlight the ground. That made the camera be able to see the background as well as the light that I put there. Next time I do a project like this, I will have people throwing and catching a ball.
Macro Portraits (Playing With Legos)
In this project, I had to take pictures of legos to tell a story. It was hard to think of a good picture that tells a story. I had to see the legos I had and use them to tell a story. If I had to take more pictures, I would take pictures of legos playing football. I used skills from rule of thirds to help with this project.
Little kid watches in aw as he sees a rocket ship begin to lift off while he rides a Ferris wheel.
A pirate looks into the horizon as he is about to set sail and embark on the adventure of his life.
The pirate captain climbs to the top of his ship to escape from attacking pirates.
Up Close
For this project, I had to take pictures of objects from up close. It was hard to get close without making the picture blurry. Eventually I got it to work by getting bigger things so I could be slightly further away. If I could take a close up photo of anything, I would take a picture of a football because I would want to capture the complicated texture.

Catch The Action
In this project, I had to take a photo of something in action. I took a burst of photos to try to catch it in the perfect moment. I mostly used a football and took a picture of Gray catching it or throwing it. For one of my pictures, I had to add four pictures into one. To do that I had to add four pictures to Photoshop and then cut out the background of all but one. I used a football in most of my photos because that is my favorite sport. Anyone who tries this project should take their photos in burst.
Framing Your Subject

The top photo is my favorite one. That is because I had to be so creative to think of that position. It was fun when I got to do that pose after. In this project I had to frame a subject in a natural frame. It was hard to go around and find frames to use.
Rule of Thirds
In this project, I had to put the main part of an image at a third mark so whoever looks at the image will notice that part first. Then, their eyes will scan across the rest of the image after. It was hard to pick what the main part of the image was. It didn’t work to take pictures without a grid because they didn’t show up good. It worked much better when I added a grid. When I started this project, I thought that taking photos in the rule of thirds would not look very good but it did when I saw the actual pictures.
Infinite Backgrounds
This project was the hardest one I had to do yet. When I took photos I had to use trial and error to find the right settings. The same settings didn’t work for everybody.
One Object Five Shots
In this assignment, I had to take an object and take pictures of it from 5 different angles. It was a challenge to find the last angles to take pictures from. The hardest object to take pictures of was the chair because I could not find a fifth angle for a long time.
24 Colors
In this assignment, I got a box of 24 crayons and took a picture with each of the crayons against something the same color. The hardest part of the project was finding the perfect color that matched a specific crayon. The easiest part was setting up the crayons to take a picture.

My Logo
I use google to get my photos. I do not contact the owner of the photo. I do not always give credit to the owner. If someone were to use my photo for a school project I would expect them to give me full credit. My logo shows my first name and then says photography in a cool font. When creating my logo, it was hard to decide what to do but easy to make.
