Assignment #6

I had to take a picture from either a high or low angle without flash. The second picture had to be backlit with fill flash (taking the picture with the flash on and the main source of light behind the object). The last two pictures had to be of the same picture of a person, one showing shadows on the person and the other using fill flash (enhancing the picture).

Assignment #5

For this assignment, I had to take a portrait of one person in open shade, against a wall, while capturing a moment. The second picture had to be of a group of people (odd number) utilizing all that we have learned about composition.

Photo Assignment #4

I had to take two portraits in open shade with good light, while being able to identify the direction of the light. As I am doing this, I still have to remember composition and moments.

Beginning Photography

This semester, I am taking a beginning photography class so I can have a little fun thrown in with my intense history and English classes. Every Thursday we are given an assignment to take pictures following what we learned in class that week. Then we choose our best two photos and present them to the class on Tuesday.

This was my second assignment. We had to take two pictures that captured a moment. The thing is when we are taking the picture, we have to remember so many things: composition (placement of our person or object), what is going on in the background, light, moments... I had fun following around the Atchison boys, a family that I babysit for, and capturing moments.
