Painting With Light Semester Project

For my painting with light pictures I had to set my camera on a tripod. I set my iso to 100 and my aperture to 14. I left my shutter speed open for  30 seconds and traced her with a a flashlight. On the top picture I wanted to emphasize the letterman. The bottom one I wanted to make the Bible really stand out, so I stayed with my flashlight on it longer. I had a hard time trying to get her to stay still because my brother kept opening the door and letting light in and she would laugh. It ended up turning out pretty well. I wish her face wasn't so shiny. I had tried keeping the flashlight off of her but that didn't work.  

Book Cover Recreation

I had read this book and always really like the cover. My friend and I walked down to the dock and I had her sit with her legs hanging off. I couldn't figure out how to get a head on shot of her legs. But I ended up leaning of the dock with the camera strapped around my neck praying I wouldn't fall in. We hadn't rain in a long time so the lake was really low and her feet couldn't touch the water so to get the ripple effect I tossed a rock. The sun was just going down so I didn't have much time. The lighting on the water was what i needed to get the reflection.

Shallow Depth of Field Semester Project

I love this picture of my dog. It took forever to take because he would not stay still for anything.

This is one of the very first pictures i had ever taken. I was just walking around my neighborhood and taking random shots. I really like to use the rule of thirds.

This was another one of the first pictures I took. I like all the bright colors and the lake behind it.

I shot this at my first jv football game. I wanted to get more of his leg but he wouldn't stand still or in the dame spot long enough. I squated on the ground and made my focus point the left one.

I saw this picture taken somewhere and i really wanted to try to redo it. I set my focal point to the far left and got really close to the lockers.

This picture was actually taken on accident. I was just trying to get my camera to focus on something. I decided i could use it for this project.

Ruth always wears converse and i wanted to a picture with them in it. So i had her wear a bright colored pair and walk along the brick wall. I sat beneath it so i could get the sky in the picture too.

 I was asked to take picture of the texas high bricks that have names on them for the yearbook. I was laying on the ground and set my focus point to the bottom one.

I took this picture in Dallas. Im glad we went when we did because all of the christmas lights were so pretty. My friend was sitting on one of benches and i told her not to move. i went behind her and snapped the shot. 

iso- 1600 f/ 2.8 shutter speed- 1/ 25

This was also taken in Dallas. I set my focus point to the far left and shot down the street. I love all of the Christmas light.

All of these picture were taken with a low aperture so I could get the blurry background affect.

In the oven

I was asked to pose a picture for the yearbook and when we walked into the Klassy kitchen room...it just came to me. I put the camera inside the oven (oven was off), set a timer on the camera, and have the lens tilted up a bit so I could get the pan in the picture as well. The first oven I tried was too dark, so i had to ask Mr. Smith to help with the lighting. We just decided to use a different oven.

This girl had her toms designed by a professional artist. I like how her shoes were the main focus. I wish it wouldve been sunnier outside because the background is really boring.

bonfire

so this was totally kenzie's picture but it was too cool not to retake. i wish i wouldn't have gotten the peoples head in the picture. I had my flash off so i would get the silhouette effect.

dax the wild thing

I entered this picture for ATPI. It took me forever to get him to actually lay down and behave. I love how his eyes are the main focus of the picture.

looking at it this way

I had a lot of trouble trying to get this picture exactly the way I wanted it. The camera wouldn't focus on the girls so I had to go with manual focus. My lens is pointing through a cheer megaphone. I have been so busy with other stuff I haven't had a lot of time for the creative things i should be doing.

tennis faces

I shot tennis for the first time and it was harder than I thought it was going to be. I had trouble trying to get a picture without the net in it because the coaches would only let me step in by the gate. But i love the faces they make when they are playing.

Fail.

at the homecoming pep rally the maids were coming out from behind a curtain...I had the idea to shoot from behind and 'look at it this way'. This was the only half way decent shot I got from the entire night. It would be a really good picture except for the fact that his head is cut off from the curtain.....

I killed my flash and had my camera set to high speed shooting where it would continuously shoot

Homecoming Game

Mr. Smith let me use his wide angle lens to shoot from behind the maids. I really like the color of the sky and how you can see the crowd. I was supposed to be laying on the 50 shooting up at them. That would have looked a lot better, but i like this too.

T-High had just made a touchdown and Mr. Smith told me to keep shooting because i might get a celebration shot. I love this picture!

I had tried to get this shot at the freshman game, but it looked empty because no one was in the stands. I tried to get it again.

This picture was taken after the game. All of our guys were very dissapointed they lost because they were ahead for most of the game. Mrs. Waldrep is always there for them.

On 80s day a lot of girls wore tutus. I wanted to do a cute picture of just the tutus. A brick wall is always used and its really plain and boring, but at school there wasn't much else to chose from because it was raining. I should've had them all face me, but i thought it turned out pretty cute.

first football game

My forst football game went surprisingly well. I know I have ALOT to improve on though. I shot the freshman football game and it was 5:30 so the sun was going down and I had to keep adjusting my iso because the light kept changing.

shutter speed 30

i set my camera on the tripod and pressed the shutter button (which gave me 30 sec). I wanted to highlight the bible the most so i kept my flashlight on it longer than anything else. 

Alex the Riveter

Today was camo day and Cari and Alex were doing poses like Rosie the Riveter. I was fixing to go shoot and was practicing with the flash and Alex just happened to be standing in front of the American flag. it looked really cool.
