 One Person Walking

   I was in front of the school when I took this photo. I had to make sure the focus was on his face and trying to get blur in the background. This shows my skill by the way I told Luie to walk gives a little emotion to the photo. I actually used the same setting as the one I used for the cars passing by. I wish I blurred out the background more.

One Person Running

    I was right under the Q-hut on the grass. The only problem I had with this photo was getting Jessica to because she doesn't like to run. I like how I was able to get everything in view because I was worried it would become washed out. I tried configuring out the settings so the photo would come out crisp. I wanted to get more blur but whenever see ran by she would stop.

Multiple People Running

    I took this photo in front of the school in the grass. I had problems trying to get both people in focus. I like how I used the 2/3 and 1/3 rule of the landscape and the sky. At first I tired getting different angles to get a better shot of the people running. I wish I had fixed the ISO because the picture was a little dark.

Vehicle Moving

   I took this photo in the teacher parking lot it was like the only photo luie would let me take. The only problem I had with this photo was setting the shutter speed. I like this photo the most because I was able to blur the background very well and get Mr. Pederson in focus. I tried setting the shutter speeds to make the background just as I wanted it to be. I also wish I had fixed the ISO on this photo because it also looked dark, but the dumb clouds came in and darkened the photo.

Vehicle Moving 2

   We were all on the sidewalk in front of the school when I took this photo. I had problems getting the car in focus without it too becoming blurred. I like how I was able to get the full car in view and was able to have it crisp. I had to mess around with the f-stop a lot to get it to work. I also wished I had blurred the background more in this photo. I plan on improving on all my photos by playing the Shutter Bee game on my free time if I have any.

Shutter Speed Exercises

Stop Action: Jumping
 I took this photo just outside under the food court by the library. To get this photo we had to make sure all the settings were correct because a couple of times I took the photo too late or it was over under exposed. It has good representation of skill because I was able to stop him just over the trashcans. We left it the same settings because after one guess of the setting adjustment and the pictures came out fine. I could have improved by having Luie face me by jumping the other way so we could see his face.

Stop Action: Running
I took this right in the grass by the front of the library. I only faced the problem of light but in the picture it came out fine. I like how I displayed the force Luie ran at Erin by their expressions and the timing of the shot. I actually played around with the settings a lot then said try running at each other and in the first try I got the picture. I wish I had gotten a little more contact to really show how fast they ran, but other than that its great.

Stop Action: Dropping/ Falling items
I took this in the same place as the Stop action running. I actually had no problems cause you're a great model Mr. P but I did have to take the picture at the right time to get droplets. It represents my skill by getting a stop action shot of water. I didn't try any different settings just the shot time changed was all. I could have improved the lighting it might have used a little more exposure to brighten it up.

Motion Blur Running
I took this photo just outside the Q-hut. I had problems with timing the shot and making sure the photo didn't get washed out by the sun light. I was able to blur Luie and also made him look like he was jumping over the trashcan when he really wasn't. I tried changing the ISO so that the photo wasn't completely washed out. I wished I had him not jump that way you could tell it was a running motion that gave off the blur.

 

Motion Blur Action
  We were at the Gym wall when I took this photo. At first when we tried this Jessica didn't have enough leaves to show off the motion of the leaves. This represented my skill of being able to keep her in focus and the leaves blur. I tried each setting prior to this shot to make sure it looked great. I could have improved on getting more leaves next time.

Framing

Man Made

 

1. This photo worked as a man-made frame because Suyen and I are being framed by the bars and roof of the golf cart. We saw on of the administrators driving around and we stopped him asking if we could take a picture using the cart, he said yes.

2. The hard part was finding unique places to take pictures of, but we came up with the right ideas to make our pictures look great.

1. This Photo works as a man-made frame because the object (my pass) is being framed by the Gatorade machine. I took this photo simply by putting my pass into the machine and it got propped up.



2. The hard part was getting our models to fit in areas of interest, but the we just came up with using props like this pass.

 

Natural

  

 

 1. For this photo Luie just kinda had the idea to hop up in a tree so I'm like ok and it actually works as a natural photo.

2. This photo was hard because we weren't even sure if he could climb up the tree and pose for a natural frame. The tree branch worked as a perfect frame.

1. I had to borrow the chicken to do this natural photo and it worked out great because the chicken is in the center and the plants make a frame around it.

 2. It was hard to stand it up against things so the tree really helped out though. The plants helped frame so that helped me overcome taking the right shot.



Architectural

 

 

1. For this architectural photo I had my friend Erin hold the chicken under a building and it made a frame around him. I had the idea already so I just asked him to help.

2. The hard part was I wasn't sure if it would work but the lighting and focus came in great, but he couldn't really open his eyes due to the sun.

 

1. This architecture frame was my favorite because its nice and plain and the halls are empty. Also all of it was inside and it worked as a frame.

2. The only hard part was making sure no one walked into the shot. Also the funny thing was that people saw me carrying this chick and were weirded out like whoa never seen someone walk around Serra with a chicken. That was the only hard part about the chicken photos, but it worked because for the most part everyone had a place to be and couldn't sit and watch me.

 

 



Pattern

Man-made

 

 

I took this photo of the police golf cart's top lights because it gave off a pattern because each square has 4 circles in it. The circle lighs make a man made pattern, but sadly they werent on to make a red and blue pattern, maybe next time haha.

 

 



 

I took this photo near the gym because the chain is a repeated pattern connecting together using interlocking circles. It is a man made pattern of metal and i like this photo because it starts at the bottom left of the screen and goes to the upper right hand corner.

 

Natural

 

 I took this photo underneath a tree and it works as a natural pattern. It works because its a bunch of leaves which is a repeating natural pattern. All the leaves look the same making it a successful pattern as well.

 

 







I took this photo next to the classroom and it shows a natural pattern of leaves. I love the color green so that is why I took it, but also because leaves are a natural pattern too. 

Improve

I need to fix the blur on the photo because you can't tell what pattern I'm looking at. Next time I will make sure to focus on my subject.











Well

In this Photo I used leading lines and a natural pattern. I think it shows up well because your eyes follow the natural pattern of the palm trees. Against the blue sky your eyes follow the trees all the way to the end of the parking lot of La Jolla shores.

    For my next Project my goal is to really organize like one day I should have taken pictures of all natural patterns and the other day all man-made patterns. Next time I will make sure I don't take too many pictures of just one subject, but even it out more.

Angles

Above

Below

 

Straight 

1. This photo is strongest because of the lighting and the focus on the glove. Also the photo is level with the glove even though it is on the ground so its kind of creative.

Composition

2.  This is an example of leading lines because the rail leads you to the subject being the glove. I took this on a staircase placing the glove on the top on a rail.

Improve

4. I need to improve on taking less dead on photos where the subject is in the center. I will try to take more angle photos.

3. The hardest part was finding new places to put the glove that show angles. There are a lot of places in the school depending on your level of creativity.With practice I will be able to take good pictures with ease.

Lines

Horizontal

I like this photo because it is a man-made line with a little creativity in it. The only accident was Mr. Pederson in the back ground and the lights in a line. I just really like all the lines in the photo and my friend Luie in a square its a cool and funny photo.

Diagonal

I like this photo because with a man-made background its a actually the diagonal line that makes it an environmental line because its the sun making a shadow. I like how its dark on top and light on the bottom kinda like a yin-yang.

Vertical

4. The most challenging part was finding different types of lines inside of school. I was able to take pictures differently to make them work as different lines.

5. Mr Pederson is a bomb teacher so not much room for improvement haha. Maybe just a little more time to go outside so we have more time to take pictures.

6. One thing I could do to improve is take photos relating to all topics rather than just one topic.

Before and After

Using Photo shop

Before

After

I liked fixing this picture up because it was very dull and needed some color. I used smart sharpen and levels tool to bring more of a dark emotion within the image.

 

Before

After

In this photo I wanted to brighten and focus on the water bottle. I used smart sharpen and the levels tool give this photo more light and focus which really helped make it look good.

Rule of Thirds

     I like this photo because the man focus is the tree and its in an area that seems like snow. It could be photo shopped, but it follows the rule of thirds technique. Also its very white with black so it has a contrast creativity which I like.
