In Class Assignment

Color Portraits

Assignment #5 Color

In this project I learned to pay more attention to what is in my surroundings all the time. I also learned to take risks and be willing to go out on a limb and or be in situations where I may feel uncomfortable.

Assignment 4 (Motion & DOF)

I shot some bushes that were slightly moving due to the wind, but the faster shutter speed allowed me to capture the image without blurring. I also shot some moving vehicles on a street which I feel looked best without the blurring that happened with slower shutter speeds on these shots.

I shot some images of a candle flame, I wanted to catch how the flame moved over time, and that is why I liked the slower shutter speed. I also shot some images of my kitchen sink and the faucet water running into the bowls, I felt the movement of the water is best captured by the slower shutter speeds.

Assignment #3 (White Balance, Exposure, and Bracketing)

What the camera says is right....

What I say is right....

There is obviously a reason that a camera comes with a manual mode correct? Sometimes I struggle to remember why that is, but this assignment clearly exemplifies why it is beneficial to know how to use your camera on manual mode. To do more than just point and shoot is critical, because just changing relatively minor things such as the white balance or exposure, or by doing some bracketing you can see drastic differences in your photos.

Sometimes an image does not need a lot of post production to improve it. There is value in creating an image that renders a close similarity to what was actually seen at the time it was captured.
