This was my first year playing water polo, and i greatly enjoyed it. That is how I came up with the idea to catch the ball right as it was landing in the water. I was also able to capture the feeling of movement, making it seem like this is simply a video paused. It also show color with the yellow ball against the blue water.
During our portrait unit I happened to go to a football game with a friend. She did not know that I was working on a project for photography so when I said smile for the picture she naturally made a funny face. I believe that it actually make the photo better though. This is because it shows that she is relaxed. She is at school with friends, where she normally is. This photo can show movement, in the way she is walking towards the camera and you can see the texture of her hair.
I was walking by my fountain and I noticed that it was a perfect way to capture the single droplets of water. The colors and objects in the background drew the attention away from the fountain and I realized that in black and white not only would it put more emphasis but the photo would also have great value. I noticed that before I took away the color there was already great lighting creating many shadows and taking away the color just stressed that more.
Considering this was my first year ever playing water polo, I decided it would perfect to take my self portrait relating to water polo. This photo also turned out with great proportion and space. I am very proud of myself in this picture because although I had trouble with both a faulty tri-pod and a short timer I feel this is still a great photo.
This photo is simply what it seems. It is a photo of Mercy girls walking through the hallway. I was walking through the halls at Mercy and I had my camera set to a long shutter speed. I could have set s short shutter to simply capture the legs, instead of slight blurring to capture a sense of movement. Although this was not actually the photo I wanted. I was trying to take a picture of someone simply walking down the hall when the camera dropped a little. I was pretty bummed didn't get the photo I wanted. But I believe that this photo turned out with a better sense of movement and line than I had originally expected.
Ansel Adams is a quite famous photographer known for his nature photos of National Parks. This is simply a photo I took in his style. This photo shows unity and form. If you look close enough you can even see the spider on the upper left-hand side of the flower.
In my backyard I have a small garden, I realized that everyday just as the sun is going down there is the best lighting. I was just walking around and I noticed this single red tomato, it was at the end of tomato season so I was startled there was still one left and thinking it wasn't going to be there for long and it was practically perfect tomato, I snapped a shot of it. It was not until I was looking at my photos later that I realized the great spotlight on the tomato that I had captured. It puts great emphasis on the fruit and shows great color.
A sun-print image is an image that is printed on a paper that is a lot like film. We sent some objects on it that were opaque and had cool silhouettes. I used 3-hole punch correctors and something in the shape of a star. I set these objects on the paper and set them out in the sun. The part that was covered by the objects stayed a lighter color while everything around became a darker blue as it was exposed to the sun. I then proceeded to edit it to make it look the way it does now. With the element of shape and principle of pattern.
