Falcon Photo

We had to take pictures with the object/person in just one of the two sides or the rule of third grids of the camera grid. Rule of thirds helps to get very good and professional looking pictures. My thoughts did not change from the beginning of the project. The “lines” I used in my photos are grid lines on the camera that are also rule of third lines. They are one of the 9 boxes on the camera grid and if what is supposed to be the main focus of your picture is on one of the interception lines of the grid, the focus will be more defined and clear to see. I set up the shots so that the thing i wanted to focus on would be on one of the interception lines. To see the rest of my pictures click here.

Creating light graffiti was challenging but fun. My group and I took our photos in the gym with the lights off, it was hard to see each other. We set the camera up on manual mode so we could make shapes with our flashlights for as long as we wanted to. We took photos of one person all the way to a large group of people. My group members and I stood in front of the camera making shapes with various flashlights of all colors. We stood on the bleachers as well as on the ground for our pictures. Controlling how long to keep the lens open work better than letting the camera open and close by itself. This is because we could make more intricate shapes and squiggles without having to rush. Trying to make shapes with a flashing light didn’t work out well at all, you could hardly make out what it was you were drawing. A frustration I had was working very hard on a shape and it not coming out very well. It is the worst when you go to look at a picture and it looks like you were swinging the light around randomly. To make the photos we took look cooler, we could go outside at night. We could climb on trees and create swings or make it look like we are walking on a tightrope out of light. All in all, this project was frustrating but fun! In the photo below, I am the red stick figure. You can see the rest of my photos here.

In order for us to do the light graffiti, we turned off all the lights in the gym, and turned the camera setting to bold. We held down the camera button and drew something with lights. Some frustrations I had, was that we had to make sure that anything we were drawing made sense in the picture after. For the next time, we could go outside instead of inside. For the rest of my light graffiti, go here.

In order to take the pictures in this project we had to go in a dark room with the camera set up on a tripod to that there was no motion whatsoever . The camera lens had to be open for about 10-15 seconds so that it could absorb all of the light. The part that worked was figuring out the camera settings but the part that was the most difficult was getting the design correct. It was really frustrating when we ran out of time to finish the drawing. You can see more of my photos here.
