Light Graffiti

This assignment was a very cool experience for me. The purpose of this assignment was to make symbols, pictures, or words out of a light source. We used manual then set our ISO to it was lowest value to make the light graffiti. Then you set it to a certain amount of seconds for however long your picture takes to draw. A challenge I faced was getting the camera set up in order to let the camera turn the light into light graffiti. Something that was easy for me was shining the flashlight to make a symbol or shape. This was easy because wherever I moved the light would appear. Something I could improve for next time is making more complicated symbols or using multiple group members to complete it.

Rule of Thirds

In this project we used the rule of thirds setting in our phones to take pictures of objects. The point was to have the center of attention be the object in the third column. After looking at the object the point is to have your eyes look to the opposite side at what is surrounding. A challenge I faced in the midst of this project is making the object I took a picture of the focal point. What I found easy was taking pictures of people. This was easy for me because I could tell them to go anywhere or any place. The stationary objects weren’t always able to move. For example, when there was a tree surrounded by a bunch of other trees I couldn’t use it because there was no focal point. The people could be moved to other settings. In conclusion, this project was easy to understand and complete.

Portrait Photos

This project is taking portraits with dark backgrounds.  We had to make sure the person was in front of the light so their were no shadows on the board. We also had to edit the post by making the background darker and the figure (person) darker. One challenge I had was making sure there were no shadows on the person, also making sure the adjustments on the camera weren’t letting in too much light, thus ruining the picture. One thing that I found easy was making the background darker through the Photoshop app. This was easy because all we had to do is use the curved tool to darken the background and lighten the figure. In conclusion this project had some challenges but overall was very simple.

Portraits Photos

In this project each person in our group got a photo taken of them with a pure white background. This was challenging for me because we had to make sure that the people stood in front of the light so there were no shadows. Another hard part was to make the quality good so we needed to change the setting on our cameras to let more light into the lens. A very easy part of the project was editing the photos in the Photoshop app. This was easy because all we had to do was put the photo in and go to the curve feature then adjust the light so that the shadows fade into the white background.
