animal


For this week assignment i took pictures of my dog.  I found this very hard because she wouldn't sit still for very long at all.  and if she did stay in one spot she look away every time I went to go take a picture.


  ISO = 800
f/stop = 2.8
Shutter Speed = 1/100


I do not have an original picture.  I deleted it on accident......


After doing this assignment I wouldn't mind doing this but if a had a choice to, I wouldn't.  I learned that taking pictures of dogs and other animals is pretty hard.  And now I respect the people that do that as a job much more now.

Pano

This assignment we had to go and take panoramic photos throughout the school.  We took about 4 or 5 photos of the same thing but made it so that it spread out the picture.  Then we edited them in Photoshop to have the picture look longer.




I learned how to to do panoramic photos in Photoshop.  It not only thought me a new to take pictures but it also thought me how to use Photoshop better.
 

Portait

For this assignment I and took pictures of my buds in both a studio type theme and a lower budget type of thing.  With the studio we had 4 different lights all on at once.  We took the pictures in the library and put a white background for the person to sit in front of.  with the lower budget we had the person stand by a window then we used something that would reflex the light back on to the person.        


After doing this assignment I found out that a lot of work goes into having a good photo shoot.  It not only takes a lot of time but also a lot of effort.  And just because you don't have the best stuff doesn't mean you still cant take a good picture.

IOS = 400
Shutter Speed = 1/25
F stop = 2.8



 
During this assignment I learned that sometimes its not always easy taking a bunch a pictures.  Even so you can still get a couple of good pictures.

Assignment 1 ( inspiration )

For my first inspirational assignment I am going to take photos of  Still Life / Product.  Still Life is a photo of a subject that you have arranged, much like an advertising picture.  I'm doing this because I think I have a good idea for it already.

I was inspired by these pictures because that looks like what I kinda want to do with my photo.  It has also giving me more ideas to go by.
