We took the pictures by going in the gym while it was dark. We put the settings on bulb mode so the photographer can hold the button to take the picture and keep the lens open for the desired amount of time. We then used our phones to draw. What worked was just carefully drawing …

LEGO
With this project, I had to take pictures of Legos and make them look like they were in a normal world, not a giant world. I used skills that I learned from the last macro project. For example, I used the method of making sure that the subject was in focus and the background was …
Close Up
For this assignment, we had to go up close to an object and snap a picture. For this project, we could not use the zoom option or else the picture would look grainy. For this project, I found that when using a phone, we can not go up too close to the object or else …
Action
For this project, we needed to catch someone in action. For example, someone jumping. On an iPhone, we needed to capture the movement through the burst setting. We then chose one picture from the burst of the person in action. For someone taking action photos, I would tell them to make the picture and movement …
Frame
In this project, we took pictures through a frame or a space in the object. We took pictures of a person through the object. For example, we took a picture of a friend through two trees. In Rule of Thirds, we were supposed to make the subject be the attention of the project, similar to …
Rule Of Thirds
What worked was using the grid because then the horizon would not be straight. What did not work was doing close ups of people because there would not be a background and no place to focus on. At first, I was confused on why the rule of thirds was important, but then I eventually got …
Black Background
For the black background, we used a black back drop. We set the ISO to low and made the shutter speed a little longer to let more light in. We used Photoshop to add black and white, curves, and to adjust the brightness. What worked was shining the light on the person, not the background. …
White Background
For this project, we needed to use a white back drop to make it look like there was not a background. We took a a camera and put the ISO on high and we played around with the shutter speed. We put it at a lower number to let less light in. We had to …
5 Shots
In this assignment, we had to take 3 objects (1 of them is a person), and get 5 photos of 5 different angles for each object, so there are 15 photos in all. The most challenging part was finding different angles because there are not many options to angle the camera. It helped me explore …
24 Colors
The assignment of “24 Colors,” was to take a crayon and make it match to the objects around our world. A major challenge of this project was seeing if the colors matched the object. We took pictures around the school and the school does not have much color, so it was hard finding colorful things. …
