The first day I came to this class, I really knew nothing. It was all new to me, unsure about what we would do I was surprised that Mr.Bush trusted us so much to go out and take photos as soon as he did. When we first went out for our first project I did have some trouble with the F stop and ISO but caught on. My first time taking a photo was stranger then my last. At first it took me two hours to take 40 photos because I wanted everyone to be perfect. My last time shooting I took over 50 in less than 20 minutes. This class has really helped me improve my skills and I do think I've changed over the 3 months we were in this class.

This week we learned how to do motion photos, we took a photo of someone moving keeping them in focus but making the background blurry.
This week we worked in photoshop to make a picture look as though multiple people were in it. We had to take 1 photo of the background, then without moving the camera take 4 pictures of someone in a new place in each photo. I shot my photo out in the hall by the class.
This week I shot shadows, using my dog as my subject. I used the light coming from my window to make on side of my dogs face brighter, then used no other light to make the other side darker. In photoshop I made the pictures brighter, and tried to warm them up to make the color less blue. F/ 5.0 1/125 ISO 200 This week we worked on open photoshop tutorials, for the first one I simply made one part of the photo be in color, while the rest in black and white. For the second one I worked on neon text and made it glow. This week I learned a lot, but one useful thing I learned is how to download text to photoshop.
This week I shot black and white, my family found a small trail to walk around in and I joined. I took photos of a few things that I saw and I thought were pretty cool. In Light Room I edited the white balance, then made the photos black and white. IOS 200 F/ 3.5 1/400 This week we worked on panoramic photos, I learned how to use a stand with a camera and how to automate a photo in photo shop. I took photos of outside the school, which include the pond, and a flower bed. Inside the school i took two pictures by the french rooms, and one in the gym. This week I shot still life, I had a pot of flowers that were fading, so i used them for this shoot. i used a white piece of paper for my backdrop, but It sadly didn't stay up most of the time. I used the flash from my phone as a light. In photoshop i cropped the photos and made them a little brighter. ISO 400 F/3.5 1/60 This weekend I went to a resort called Crystal Lake, the had this trail which was in the woods and full of art. The weather Saturday was perfect so I went on that trail, And found plenty of things to take photos of. F/ 8.0 1/60 IOS 200 This weekend I shot Light Painting. I started off by taking my sister outside and letting her draw what ever she wanted with the light, she was so impressed with the outcome that she drew this, it was one of the best with everything she had draw with the light.
With this, I learned you really need to try stuff out until you get the outcome you want. In Ps I cropped the photo. F/ 8.0 15.0 ISO 400 |
