Getting up Close and Personal!

For this project we had to find different images and take an up close photo of the details in them. Flowers and outside objects worked better than objects inside. Also using natural light was much easier then the crusty ceiling light. I have never taken a photo of something so close, so I tried something new and focused on the little details. Sometimes it was difficult to get my phone to focus on the certain spot I wanted it to, but eventually it focused. If I had the equipment and ability to get to mars or the moon, I would love to take up close photos of the different types of surfaces. I would love to take a photo of the sun but that wouldn’t end well. To see more of my gorgeous photos other than these two beauties, go to this link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uit91hJo9TW689N6A

App Review

My favorite app is  snap chat because I get to share my life with my fellow friends. On this app I have many streaks that grow, my highest streak is 598, this means me and another chatterers  been snapping for that many days straight. I use this app everyday because this is the easiest way to communicate with my friends, and show what I am experiencing in my everyday life. My second favorite app is Instagram because I get to post photos with my friends and family and I can also share what I am doing and what I have done in my life with others.

Up close

We had to take up close pictures of objects, we used a visco filter or portrait mode on our phone so we can see the clear details of the object. This project was hard because sometimes if I got too close it would get blurry. If I could I would like to photograph waterfalls or insects.

Smile Vs No Smile

In this project, I went out to the field and throughout the school building in order to take photos of a person both smiling and not smiling. It was a little difficult to get people to smile, as some decided to be silly instead. There was definitely a noticeable change between a smiling and frowning person. It gives off a very different impression to the person who looks at the photo, shifting from happiness to seriousness. If I were a photographer, and perhaps took a photo of someone frowning instead of smiling, it could give off a worse impression of the man; Either being too serious or grumpy. I suppose if I was hired I would first ask the person how they were feeling at the moment, so that my photo would capture their true feelings at the moment.

Smile

In this project it was hard to find people who were OK with me taking pictures of them. Someone who may look scary while not smiling could look very nice and friendly when they are smiling. If I were a photographer I would know not to let bias stop me from taking peoples photos. I would get to know them and be friendly with them instead of just asking for something right away.

Up Close

This project required students to take very up close and personal shots of objects.  The entirety of the picture, or at least most of it, was filled up with a small object making it look larger.  To get this kind of photograph students needed to use the macro settings on their cameras.  This allows them to take clear, up close pictures.  This project was a bit challenging for me because of the camera I was using.  Getting super up close to an object, even on Macro, can make it hard for the camera to focus.  I ended up having to spend a very long time just getting the camera to focus on the right thing.  But once I got it to focus the pictures came out really well and I’m proud of the results.  One thing I didn’t have trouble with was finding subjects.  I went into the woods because I thought there might be some cool things to take pictures of.  I ended up seeing a rabbit, a herd of deer, a deer skull, as well as a doe that let me take photos of it for about 30 mins!  At school I also found 2 turtles.  Overall, I found a lot of wildlife during this project.  Even thought some of these pictures couldn’t be used for this project, I had a lot of fun taking them.  If I could take pictures for this project anywhere in the world, with high quality equipment and lots of time, I would go to the rain forest.  There are thousands of exotic and breathtakingly beautiful flowers, plants, and animals in rain forests!  And I know it would be EXTREMELY dangerous, but I would love to take a close up of a jaguar’s face. It would be a dream come true.  Though I will admit the bugs would be a bit vexing.

Getting Close

Outdoor pictures worked better and it was easier to find an object to take a picture of. Indoor pictures were harder to take, also finding objects inside were hard to find. It was also hard to focus on certain objects because you had to be very close up. If I had time, I would like to take pictures of flowers with raindrops on them.

Then I Asked Them to Smile

One of the most difficult aspects of the project was asking people to take their picture. But once I did, I noticed a large difference between the neutral faces and the smiling faces. As soon as they smiled, they suddenly seemed less like strangers and more like friends. I realized that smiling, a universal sign of friendliness, clears most bias. Bias can affect a photographer in many ways. It may “warn” a photographer to stay away from one person, when that person may be the photographer’s future best friend. To erase bias, I would ask my clients to smile and tell me about their lives.

UP CLOSE

https://photos.app.goo.gl/yEDf8avlHUNy3EIB3

In the up close project we had to take super macro pictures or many different objects.  Everything in this project worked and I learned how to take really close up pictures with good quality.  There was no problem with the cameras but I did have a little trouble finding objects to take pictures of. If I had the time and equipment I would like to take really good up close pictures because the finished project is really cool.
