  • Portraits

    In this project we were tasked on taking multiple portraits using different methods of lighting and framing techniques. This was a challenge for me because I’ve never focused on portraits before and had to learn what made a good portrait. This first portrait uses directional lighting to create a somewhat ominous mood of the subject.…

  • Manual Mode Project 2

    In this project we had to take seven pictures of seven different prompts. This challenged us to be creative with our photography and to look at things from a different angle. The wood bark in the foreground creates depth in the image showing that the sprout is further in the photo instead of looking flat…

  • Manuel Mode Project 1

    In this project we were tasked with taking photos with Manuel mode and take five sets of three images focusing on a slow shutter speed, fast shutter speed, shallow depth of field, deep depth of field, and our own artistic choices. With the three photos we needed to have a perfect exposure (0), one that…

The faster the speed, the less light, and the slower the speed, the more light. Depending on how fast or slow your shutter speed is can also affect how blurry…

  • The Importance of Aperture

    In this project we had to take the same picture using 5 different aperture lengths, more commonly know as the f/stop. The f/stop controls the depth of field of the picture as well as how much light your lens takes in. These photos of the plant clearly shows how the depth of field changes depending…
