Assignment #8 Redo

For my Redo I chose the Get On Your Belly assignment and I think I did a lot better than my previous Get On Your Belly pictures. I found some good light and that helped a lot. My favorite picture would probably have to be the picture of the batteries because it is sharp and has good light.

Assingnment#7 Numbers

I felt like I did really bad on this assignment. I had a big problem with focusing almost all of my pictures were out of focus. I think I'm going to use this assignment as my redo because I just learned how to use the manual focus. The two pictures I did feel like were good photo's were the 5 dollar bill and the knifes that made the number 44.

Assignment#6 Portraits

I liked my pictures over all but I don't think that they were great. I don't think I spent enough time shooting though I did end up with a few pictures that were good. I liked my self portrait though I didn't like shooting me. I really liked the picture of my sister sitting in the window even though the background distracts from the portrait I really liked the light in that one. Portraits was not my favorite assignment but it was still fun to take pictures of people even if my sisters were not very willing.

Get on your Belly Pictures

I felt like I did ok on this assignment the first time I shot my pictures on the ground but some of my pictures looked like I could have shot standing up. The second time I went shooting I did better I feel like you could tell that I was shooting from the ground or below though it looks like to me that my pictures were a little gray.

High Key Photos #2

Before

After

For this one I couldn't seem to make a very sharp image because I didn't have much light so I had to use low shutter speeds. Although it is a little blurry I still like the picture because I thought it was an interesting picture and it told a story. I also liked the black specks in it. It contrasted well after i adjusted the black.

Low key Photos #2

For this picture I wanted to find something that would have contrast. I found kicking and screaming a movie and put it in a black disc cleaner although the white didn't contrast as much as I had hoped it still turned out well I like the reflection on the disc cleaner and It blends well with the background.
