Portraits of me :/ and my friends and family :)

 I like this picture because I'm not looking right at the camera and everything is really clear, the bunny's fur and whiskers are clear plus there is a hair across my face that is clear. I like the colors too they are all really bright and warm feeling.

Shutter: 1/320

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

 I love this picture because of the bright colors and Lacey's facial expression. You can tell that she is having a lot of fun and she is really happy. The background is really blurry too from the merry-go-round spinning. Even though she made her face on purpose just for the camera it looks really interesting and funny.

Shutter: 1/250

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 100

 This picture I think is pretty good even though I had to do a lot of editing. I love her facial expression, she was about to fall off and she got scared but I can't even imagine how she made that face. It's so weird I can't even believe I got this shot. When I started out the picture was really dark and I lightened it quite a bit until it looked better.

Shutter: 1/100

Aperture: f/7.8

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

 I got my dad blowing bubbles and he actually smiled which is kind of unusual so I had to get a picture, I wish I could have gotten some better pictures of him. I don't really like the background just because it's kind of busy with all the different things back there. It's still a good picture.

 I love this picture the colors in the bubble are awesome and my mom looks like she is really focused on keeping the bubble there.

Shutter: 1/250

Aperture: f/4.2

Focal length: 11.2 mm

ISO: 100

 The wind was blowing the bubble for me so I was waiting for it to stop. I thought the sun on my face looks cool. The blown out spot on my arm even looks good.

Shutter: 1/200

Aperture: f/3.4

Focal Length: 7.7 mm

ISO: 100

This picture is interesting because it's kind of unbalanced with me and two dogs on one side and one dog on the other. I really like how its not completely balanced like that.

Shutter: 1/80

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

Patterns

The pattern in this picture is the fence, my favorite part is how the fence looks like it goes on forever.

Shutter: 1/400

Aperture: f/7.8

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 1600

The pattern is the fern leaves, ferns are so cool because they are the same on both sides of the leaf I like leaves like that.

Shutter: 1/80

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 100

This picture reminds me of a picture you would find on the internet with the leaf really strong and in focus but the background sunny and blurry.

Shutter: 1/100

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 100

I took pictures of my dogs because when I think of patterns I think of the mask on their faces and how it is pretty much the same on both sides. In this picture there is a line down the middle of the page using her mask, her tongue, and the dog house.

Shutter: 1/100

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 400

This picture was hard to get because this dog doesn't like anything that you point at her and it makes a noise so cameras are under that long list. But the line goes perfectly down her face which is really cool.

Shutter: 1/100

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 400

In this picture my dog has a line going down her face also, the mask on her face is perfectly the same on both sides and I love the pattern.

Shutter: 1/80

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 200

Bubbles :)

We went outside and blew bubbles and we learned that if the subject is doing something they are less focused on how they look and more on what they are doing.

I chose this picture because everyone in the picture is in focus but the background is blurry.

Shutter: 1/320

Aperture: f/5.1

Focal Length: 15.7 mm

ISO: 64

 I like this picture because it was after she blew the bubbles and the sun was shining on her face really nice.

Shutter: 1/320

Aperture: f/5.1

Focal Length: 15.7 mm

ISO: 64

 I like this picture because the bubble is floating away but you can still see the fence and that is really cool in this picture.

Shutter: 1/800

Aperture: f/3.8

Focal Length: 9.4 mm

ISO: 64

 I like this picture because of how happy Brooke looks and the sun is shining on her face perfectly to reflect her happiness.

Shutter: 1/400

Aperture: f/5.1

Focal Length: 15.7 mm

ISO: 64

I like this picture because the bubbles are on the other side of Dana and the shadows on her sweater are really interesting.

Derivative

Our assignment was to copy an idea of another photographer. The photographer I chose was Kevin Irby because he has such unique ideas.

 The first picture is the picture I tried to copy and the second picture is the picture I made. I think they are some what close to the same. I know the dress is not the same and the books are different but I think they have the same idea. My model didn't want to work with me either and kept telling me what to do so it's not as good as it could be.

Grid Pix

Our assignment was to take a picture of ourself and put a grid on it then you were supposed to do filters over it. I think mine turned out really good. I liked doing the black and white filters on my shirt because then you got really hard lines. In the back ground I did two different filters and I alternated them. I think the shadows turned out really good with that.

Typical Day

Our assignment was to take picture through out the day. So this is my typical Wednesday. I wake up and take a shower, the next picture is after my shower when I'm all dressed and my hair is done. Then, I go and eat breakfast on this particular Wednesday it was cereal. Then I brush my teeth, get my stuff, and leave for school. I go to my locker and get my books for my first class Photography. next I go to Algebra, Ceramics, Science, Gym, and finally lunch. After lunch I go to the lobby and go on Facebook for a while. Next I go to study hall, English, and American History. Finally I go home have supper, paint some walls in the house, and get ready for bed.

Arboretum

 I like this picture because the leaf is really big and the grass covers it a little. I tried to turn it into black and white but it didn't look right, everything was kind of dark and you couldn't really tell what was what.

Shutter: 1/250

Aperture: f/3.8

Focal Length: 9.4 mm

ISO: 100

 This is a spider web I found, as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted a picture of it. I like how you can see the threads stretched through the web. I actually walked through a spider web while I was at the Arboretum.

Shutter: 1/60

Aperture: f/4.6

Focal Length: 13.1 mm

ISO: 200

 I took a picture of the tree because the sun was shining through the tree tops and the tree's shape really made it interesting. I like how the bigger tree really brought destruction in its path by bringing down a smaller tree. That smaller tree has buds too and it still wants to grow.

Shutter: 1/125

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 100

 I really like this picture because the tree root is in an odd shape and then there is the little pebbles under the water poking out. Plus the reflection looks really cool.

Shutter: 1/40

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 200

 When I started with this picture it was a bunch of mud so I turned it black and white and tried to crop it as best I could. I think turning it black and white really helped with the swirls and it is less distracting.

Shutter: 1/100

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 200

 I really like the colors in this picture, all the rocks are brightly colored and you can see under the water. The sun is shining on the water too which makes the rocks brighter.

Shutter: 1/80

Aperture: f/3.1

Focal Length: 6.3 mm

ISO: 100

I really like how the water ripples in between the rocks and you can see the algae under the water. This picture was originally about the top rock with algae on it but I cropped the picture differently and the subject became something else. The picture became something pretty cool.

I really like these pictures because my poses are really kind of moody but when I changed it black and white it got even more moody. The shadows are a big part of the picture. They add depth and bring emotion to the picture. My favorite is the third one even though I am kind of torn on that one because the pose feels wrong to me but it is really pretty and I really like it so I am confused on how I feel.

On the last three pictures the blurry bottom is a brick that I had my camera set on. It almost looks like the floor though so it's kind of cool.
