The main subject is a tree, but what it's trying to capture is nature. Nature is very diverse, with many colors, patterns and shapes. So, each of these photos are of a different subject in nature. Finding a diverse set of colors went very easily for me during this shoot, as there is a wide variety of flowers to choose from around the area. The perspective shot of the tree reveals its most intimidating angle. As a bonus, I got even better with depth of field when shooting for nature.

These are two photos I edited in photoshop. I created a collage of four different-colored versions of each photo for each photo. One photo is of me, taken in Photo Booth on the computer, while the other is of a tree on campus, taken with the Canon.
For this next photo assignment, I will be taking pictures of various parts of nature. The intent in choosing this subject to photograph is to capture bright, vibrant colors and unique shapes only found in the natural world.
For the first photo assignment, I am going to do a shoot of some kind of animal. My goal is to successfully capture the personality of another creature with an image.
The following photos are of my cat, Domino. She's seven years old and nuts, and never afraid to investigate what it is I'm doing. During this shoot, it was hard to get her to be still long enough to get a clear photo with a lower shutter speed. In the shoot, I was able to learn how to use the Rule of Thirds a little better while trying to focus on Domino. Although she sometimes proved difficult to take a photo of, but the grid display allowed me to easily visualize the right angle to take the photos at.
Shutter Speed Examples 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. Shutter Speed:1/5 2. Shutter Speed:1/100 3. Shutter Speed:1/800 4. Shutter Speed: 1/1600 These photos demonstrate the differences in shutter speeds, as well as the effect on motion it holds. Aperture Examples 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. Aperture: 3.5 2. Aperture: 5.0 3. Aperture: 6.3 4. Aperture: 8.0 These photos were taken at different F-Stop values, to demonstrate differences in aperture. This affects the brightness and depth of field of each photo. Summary
A fast shutter speed can freeze motion, capturing an instant of time with little to no motion blur. A slow shutter speed captures lots of motion blur, so the subject has to be followed to be captured clearly while moving. A large aperture allows more light to contact the DIS, increasing brightness and depth of field. A small aperture, letting less light in, will cause the photo to appear dimmer and produce almost no depth of field, focusing in on the subject rather than the fore-/background. Hi, I'm James.

I've never had any photography experience or exposure aside from taking pictures on my phone. However, when I do take pictures using that method, I always want to edit them(cropping, tilt) and I wish I could do more with what's included in the phone. This is part of why I took this class; to gain some experience in just that. I also wanted to finish my high school experience with a few fun classes, and I heard this was one of them. Note: All pictures are labeled to match their descriptions.This assignment was created to explore eleven different elements of photography. The goal was to obtain one picture for each element, which are displayed below. The assignment consists of two photo compositions; Composition 1 has the first six elements, while Composition 2 contains the other five. These photos are all from Composition 1. This composition captures six elements of photography: Depth of Field - Over a Red Shoe into a Long Hallway Lines - Guy at end of stair handrail Texture - Marbled brick wall Pattern - Tile color pattern(s) disrupted by other color(s) Rule of Thirds - Guy holding bag of cookies, eyes at top gridline Symmetry - mirrored cafeteria seats & tables These photos come from Composition 2:
Perspective - Bird's eye view of gymnasium Framing - Guy looking through framed door window Space - Hornet logo exceeds photo boundaries Balance - Bird's eye view focused on 2 basketball hoops Color - Multi-colored scoreboard Something I learned from this assignment is how to capture different depths of field. I've always been curious as to how photographers manage to get a crystal clear image of the subject and leave the background rather blurry, so as to attach more attention to the subject. Now, I know. |
