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.

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.
