Writing With Light Group Experiment

I like shooting this type of motion because you can just have fun with it and draw random things around your subject. You can also write a word or words that have a lot of meaning to them to make the photograph more interesting and meaningful. The next time we do this we could get more creative with writing with the light. Next time I would suggest that we make sure the lighting is right and the subject is still.   

ISO- 3200

Aperture- f/29

Shutter Speed- 30.0

Motion Assignment 2

Blurred Motion:

The first picture is visually appealing because it allows the viewer to see that the people on the bikes were moving while the picture was taken. The second picture is visually appealing because while the bear is in focus the background is blurred.  

Frozen Motion:

The first picture is visually appealing because it captures a glass of water tipping over. Unlike blurred motion, everything in the picture is frozen, giving the allusion that time has stopped. The second picture is visually appealing because they captured different colors of paint splashing up from the ground. 

Panning:

Panning is visually appealing because the focus on the subject draws your attention towards it. The background is blurred with a mix of colors blended together to make the photograph more interesting.

Zooming:

Zooming is visually appealing because it draws the viewer's eyes toward the middle. It also blends the surrounding colors in the photograph to create a more interesting piece of art. 

Writing With Light:

Writing With Light is visually appealing because while the camera is taking the picture you can write a message like "LOVE" written in the second photo, or you can make/draw around a subject with different colors of lightning. 

Chrono:

Chrono is visually appealing because there are many of the same subject combined into one photo and it is an interesting way to edit pictures.

Motion Assignment

Blurred Motion:

To achieve blurred motion you need a low shutter speed that is around one-eighth of a second. You should also use a tripod to keep the camera from moving and staying focused on the subject. 

Frozen Motion:

To achieve frozen motion you need a fast shutter speed. You also have to focus on your subject. You should also use a tripod to make sure the subject does not turn out blurry. 

Panning:

To achieve panning you need a slightly slow shutter speed that is around one-fortieth of a second. You do not need a tripod in order to achieve this because you have to follow your subject. 

Zooming:

To achieve zooming you need a slow shutter speed that is around one-twentieth of second to one-thirtieth of a second. As you press the shutter button you zoom the lens either in or out to create the blurred effect. 

Writing With Light: 

To achieve writing with light you need a slow shutter speed around 30". As the camera is taking the picture you use some source of light to draw around your subject with. You also need to use a tripod to keep your subject in focus.

Chrono:

To achieve chrono you need to use a tripod to make sure the camera does not move at all. The background also needs to stay the same. You should have a fast shutter speed so that it catches the subject. You then have to take multiple pictures and open them in Photoshop. After that to edit the photo you need to use layer mask and edit each picture. You then need to delete the pixels around the subject. In the end you end up with one picture with multiple pictures of the same subject.

Aperture Quiz

f/5.0

f/8.0

f/22

I learned how to do depth of field with this assignment. It helped me to better understand when it is necessary to use a small or large aperture while shooting. I think I did good with blurring the foreground and focusing on the middle ground.

Worm's Eye

Bird's Eye; Unity

Vertical Lines; Simplicity; Texture

My first picture is a Worm's Eye View. I focused in on the pot holding the small bamboo tree. I did this to show the design and texture of the pot. For my second set of pictures I did Bird's Eye View and Unity. In the Bird's Eye picture of the perfume I focused in on the top of the bottle. I wanted to show the unique design and texture of the top of the bottle. In the picture of Unity I set up the shells from large to small. I focused in on the biggest shell how large it was. For the third set of pictures I did Vertical Lines, Simplicity, and Texture. In the picture for Vertical Lines I focused in on the wood in the foreground. In the picture for Simplicity I focused in on a single leaf to show its smooth texture. Finally, for the picture of Texture I focused in on a single shell to the texture between its bumps and ridges. If I were to do this project again I would try to better show some of the Principles of Design.
