Pattern/Texture/Shape

This week I did patterns, textures, and shapes. I took pictures of my church and at my house. From this assignment I have learned that all kinds of textures, patterns, and shapes can make the photo a great composition.

Gimp Context

Over the course of this week we did context pictures. We took photos of different parts of the school and changed it. It was very fun putting in pictures that had nothing to do with the school.

Motion Demo

Today Mr. Bush brought in his bike and we took motion pictures of him riding it. It was a great way to learn how to take photos of things in motion. It was very cool to learn how to take a photo of someone in motion and blur the background.

Gimp #3

For this assignment we did a panoramic. As you can see I did a panoramic of my house. It was a very difficult process for me. The one I took of the school turned out awful. But here is a great one.

Animal Assignment

This week I decided to shoot photos of animals. I took some of my cat, and my neighbors' dogs. From this assignment, I learned that it is very difficult to get your subject to stay still. For one of these animals it was really hard for them to keep still. Can you guess which one it was?

Architecture Assignment

This week I decided to do an Architecture photo shoot. I took some pictures of my house to show the architectural side of my house. This weekend I went to the Fisher Theater and took great shots of the architecture throughout the theatre. I also took some impressive shots of architectural items around our school. From this assignment, I learned that taking pictures of buildings can make a great composition.



I chose this as my final.

Gimp # 2

This week in class we learned how to edit in Gimp. We edited a car from a car show that another student took. The things we did to change the car is blacken the original background. We also cropped the picture down to size. We also cloned different parts of the car and used that color to remove reflections of the lights. From this assignment,I learned how to edit photos in very artistic ways.

Still Life Assignment

For my third photo assignment, I decided to shoot pictures of still life products. From this assignment I learned how to use good lighting, even at night time. My photos show emphasis on activities that people like doing for entertainment.

Gimp Assignment

Today in class we created a pop art of ourselves. At first we had some difficulties but then it was a piece of cake. It was a great way to learn how to make cool effects on a photo.

Nature Assignment

For my second photo assignment I decided to do a nature photo shoot. I knew it was going to be a gorgeous weekend so that's why I decided nature would be the best. Plus, this is going to be one of our last nice weekends for a while. I got some great shots of wildlife and the sites of the wilderness. I did not take any photos on Friday since it was raining all evening. But on Saturday, I got up at 11:00 am and headed right outside to take some pictures of the great outdoors. I went to the pond where I also shot some portraits for my last assignment. Then, on Sunday I went to Mill Pond and got some great shots of the stream and the woods. From this assignment I found many ways to get very creative with my photos.


This is the photo that I chose as my final. This is the technical information about my photo: ISO:200

Portrait Assignment

This week I took pictures for the Portrait Assignment . I had a wonderful experience of taking a different kind of photography. These portraits got me really into the creative side of photography. Taking pictures of people is a great way to get a good photo. On Friday night, I went to the pond and took pictures of two of my good friends. On Saturday, we went to my uncle's house and I took pictures of my family.





The portrait I have chosen for my final is this one. It was shot at an ISO of 400, a shutter speed of 1/160 of a second, and an aperture of f4.

For my first photo assignment I chose to do Portrait Photography. I was really inspired by these pictures. I think taking pictures of people in nature makes the photo more lively. Also one photo I found has a mom and daughter in her room getting ready for the day but still is focusing on them. This weekend I am going to see family, which would be a great time to get family portraits. I am also going to a bonfire on Sunday and a lot of my friends from my church youth group are going. Taking pictures of them having a fun time will make great photos for portraits.

Composition #2

This assignment was a continuation of Composition #1. We learned about five more elements of good composition.

The first element of good composition in my photos is showing color. I took a picture of the food in the vending machine. Next, I took a picture of something that had perspective. I took a picture from upstairs looking at these people. Now I used photos that I took at my house. For space, I took a picture of a candle that was lit. Then I took a picture of my deck and a plant for balance. Finally, I took a picture of my cat looking at the window for framing.

I have learned a lot from composition #2. I thought it was more difficult finding things to take pictures of than the first composition assignment. I feel that it has given me more confidence of taking pictures that are more interesting than when we did our first assignment. Now I know cool features and things to look for in taking photos.

Composition #1

Mr. Bush assigned us an assignment where we had to take photos of the six different elements of good composition.

The six elements that we had to show in our photos are lines, symmetry, rule of thirds, depth of field, pattern, and texture. For lines I took a picture of the side of my neighbor's house. I took a picture of the hallway in our school leading to the commons for symmetry. For the rule of thirds I took a picture of my cat staring into the distance. I decided to take a picture of the cafeteria seats for depth of field. For pattern, I took a picture of my address sign. Finally, for texture I took a picture of some landscaping outside of my house.

From this assignment I learned that having these elements of composition make the photos turn out very good. This has improved my ability to take better pictures.
