#ProLevel

This semester I have done many projects, including light graffiti, macro pictures, and taking photos of objects in motion. I have also learned a lot, more than I would have on my own. I learned how to use three of the manual settings in a camera, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. I have also learned that if you put a camera on a tripod in a pitch black room and turn up the shutter speed to as long as possible, you can draw in the air with light. Before this class I wasn’t very interested in photography, but this class has really changed my mind. I plan on taking more photography classes in high school. I used to take photos very carelessly, and I didn’t understand how to take good photos, but now I am able to take very good pictures, much better than before. My favorite project was the light graffiti project, which I enjoyed a lot because of how much fun it was to draw with light as my paintbrush and the air as my canvas.

Macro

For this project, I took “macro” pictures, or pictures up close. My actual camera worked great for this assignment because it automatically goes into macro mode when up close to something. The biggest challenge was trying to find animals to take pics of because it was winter, I am really proud of how close I was able to get to the squirrel without them running away. I had no issues with my camera. I would take photos of objects/animals that are very hard to get close to, like a squirrel.
