The photography home of the Lakelands Park Falcons.
In this project, we had to catch someone or something moving, and take a picture of it. This project was easy for me because there were a lot of objects for me to use, and I was good at making sure that they weren’t blurry when I took them. A tip from me is that you need to be completely still and focus the whole time while taking the picture. I would want to photograph a baseball game in action if I could.
Rest of photos here.
This project is a project that makes it seem like you are in an enclosed area, when really, you are taking the photo in a public area. The photographer were Jake (Me), Afeef, and Maynor. I used the hue graph to make the top of the photos darker, so it looked like an actual room. If I had a place to tell my family’s story, it would be in the living room, because that’s where we spend most of our time, usually on our phones.
This whole semester has been an amazing time and experience. We took all kinds of photos with new and better editing techniques such as brightness and contrast in Photoshop. To be completely honest, at first when I signed up for photography I thought we would be given cameras and learn how to use it and take good photos. Little did I know we would be using our phones 24/7 (of course not counting the portraits). My thoughts have changed about photography greatly considering I never knew taking photos with your phone could have a technique as well. Now since our Rule of Thirds project, I kept the thirds grid on my phone to keep things straight. My favorite project has to go to the action because it was extremely fun to use the burst setting and catch incredible photos not only in rule of thirds, but like a moment stopped in time. Yes, photography does interest me as a career but, it won’t be enough unless I somehow out of a miracle get successful with just photography. If I’m not too busy with other classes and activities, yes I would take photography in high school. I couldn’t choose a favorite photo from the semester, but one of my favorites lies beneath. I’m sure tech ed will not be as exciting as photography.
For this project we had to get close to an object and capture the detail of it. What worked in ti=his project was finding things to take pictures of. What didn´t work well was making sure the picture was blurry when you got close. It was hard for me to focus the picture so it came out clear. If i had the abiltity and equipment to take another picture close up I would do food or waffles because it already looks good on the outside but I wonder how it looks on the inside or close up.
This semester, we did many projects in photography. At the beginning of the year, we started off with easy projects, such as taking pictures of crayons, and matching their colors with objects around us. As we got further into the semester, we started using different settings on the camera and experiment with new angles and poses. We also learned how to use Photoshop, so that we can modify the color and brightness of our photos, to make them better. Since I started photography, I have learned that I love taking pictures. I love finding the perfect spot to take a picture, and finding the right settings to make it beautiful. I have changed my ways of taking photos, by how I look for light sources when I take photos, and change settings on the camera when needed. My favorite project was the light graffiti project, because I really liked how we could use different colored light to draw pictures in the dark. I don’t think I would persue photography as a career, but I think I would be nice to take some time to just take pictures, because I think it is fun. I would really like to take photography is high school, because I would like to add on to what I have learned this semester about photography, and improve on my photography skills.
Photography has always been my favorite class. I learned a lot of things while taking photography. Whenever I take a picture, I actually care about the background and the features. Before, I thought that photos were just a way to save a memory by clicking a button. After taking photography, I take my time now. My favorite project was the 5 angle project because I learned that you can make the most bring stand out by just using a different angle. I used to think photographers as just normal people who have easy jobs but now, I actually see the real job that they have. Photography would definitely be considered as a career for me. I really wish that I can take this class again in high school! I also would like to thank Mr. Fitz because a reason for me liking photography is having a really fun teacher. So… THANK YOU MR.FITZ!!!!!
This semester was amazing. I love this class so much. My thoughts on photography has changed so much. I learned that photography is more than just pressing a button. It’s about color, lighting, composition, framing, etc. The way I take photos has changed so much over the whole semester. My favorite project was the action. I loved taking photos of the strawberries!! I love photography so much and I am definitely continuing it next year and maybe travel places to make videos. Click here for my final photos for this class and click here to watch my Asia video. Mr. Fitz is the best!!! I’ll miss you!!
I had a really good experience in photography this semester. When I first joined photography, I thought it would be just taking pictures and not actually working and editing on the computer. Now I know how to take pictures with a real camera and I know a lot more about camera angles. My favorite project was the crayon one because it was fun to find backgrounds/ objects to take pictures of. Photography doesn’t interest me as a career but it’s a fun thing to do. If photography is available in high school I might take it because I like taking pictures.
This year I learned as a student in photography that most people didn’t even know about their phone’s true potential. Scenes, objects, people, and so much more can be discovered or interpreted in different ways through just one photograph. The whole semester I learned this and how to really create a great picture with just my phone. This semester of photography has changed my whole perspective on photography by introducing me to many new experiences taking amazing photos. My photos will never be the same because of this semester, teaching me how to capture well-taken photos whenever I have my phone out. My favorite project of the semester was the Close Up Project that made us use our phones to zoom in to take a picture of objects that could be easily passed by someone that hadn’t even noticed the object in it’s actual size. This was my favorite project because the pictures that I had taken for this project came out being really well. For example, the picture shown above is one of my personal favorites from that project and out of all the pictures I took this semester. Photography this semester has interested me very much along with some of the pictures I’ve taken. My experience in this class has persuade me to keep taking photography in high school, and maybe even regard photography as a future career.
